Don't know much about this whole story but I just find it funny that these YouTubers have come to peddling lunchables to their fanbases.

[–] Voytrekk@lemmy.world 34 points 3 weeks ago

Because they know they will eat up the garbage. They can save on marketing by advertising it in their own channels with a ton of reach.

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 9 points 3 weeks ago

They just try to squeeze every penny out of their fanbase. Which consists mostly of children. Thinking back on how i was longing for expensive advertised garbage as a child, i guess this is a "smart", but unethical product.

I can't imagine myself putting anything in my mouth endorsed by Logan Paul.

I mean i would guess your age is over 12 so you might not be the target audience. Now imagine having a kid pestering you about this shit every time you go shopping. I would start hiring a baby sitter for my weekly grocery shopping. What a luck that i do not have children.

As a parent, I can imagine this. I can also imagine saying no.

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, that is sort of what the parent part is about.

mr beast has the most arming smile of all time

[–] Cuttlefish1111@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

As in his smile induced the need to arm oneself ? As in with guns/weapons ?

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 weeks ago

As in the opposite of a "disarming smile", which is a common expression.

[–] Cuttlefish1111@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago

Gross food from gross people

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

Jesus Christ I hate all of these evil bastards.

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

The sad thing is it would take almost nothing to surpass lunchables in taste quality or texture. They're put together out of literally the worst versions of processed meat and cheese.

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds like it's time for a class action lawsuit. 🥰
