MrBeast has broken his social media silence following the Ava Kris Tyson controversy to respond to criticism surrounding his latest venture, Lunchly. This new product, introduced by MrBeast alongside Logan Paul and KSI, is positioned as a competitor to Lunchables, offering various food items like Prime and Feastables designed for those with busy lifestyles.
The trio is no stranger to the food and drink market, having previously found success with products like Prime Hydration and Feastables. However, the announcement of Lunchly was met with skepticism from several content creators. Critics questioned the quality of the product and the motives behind the venture. Logan Paul, one of the collaborators, fiercely defended the brand, arguing that their goal is to “build businesses.” He also compared Lunchly to Lunchables, alleging that the latter has been banned in some places for containing lead. Addressing the critics, Paul bluntly stated, “don’t eat it” if they had concerns.

Meanwhile, MrBeast had remained quiet on social media since July 25 due to controversies surrounding his workplace.

However, he has now broken that silence to address the backlash directed at Lunchly.
In response to a tweet from DramaAlert, MrBeast directly tackled the criticisms of Lunchly. He acknowledged the comparisons to Lunchables, asserting that Lunchly aims to offer a “better for you alternative.” He elaborated on how Lunchly’s turkey meal contains 80 fewer calories and 60% less sugar compared to Lunchables, includes real cheese instead of “cheese product,” and offers higher-quality meat.

MrBeast admitted that while eating fresh foods like chicken and broccoli is healthier, many people opt for convenient, pre-made meals like Lunchables. In his view, providing a “higher quality version” at a similar price point is a “net good.” He added that as production scales up, they hope to reduce costs and continue improving the product’s value.
By breaking his silence, MrBeast aims to shift the conversation toward the benefits of Lunchly, positioning it as a healthier alternative for those who already consume products like Lunchables.
