YouTuber Doctor Mike doesn’t think it makes sense to compare MrBeast and Logan Paul’s Lunchly to Kai Cenat’s collab with McDonald’s for the Chicken Big Mac. Back in September, Logan Paul, KSI, and MrBeast announced that they partnered together to bring Prime Hydration and Feastables chocolate into a new product called Lunchly. The ready-to-eat meal is marketed as a “healthier for you” replacement for Lunchables, but that claim almost immediately sparked backlash from people online .
Just weeks later, Kai Cenat began a collab with McDonald’s to help market the release of the new Chicken Big Mac . Many across social media began to wonder why Lunchly received so much backlash, but Kai’s partnership with the fast-food restaurant did not. Many believe that Kai promoting fast food is similar to Logan, KSI, and MrBeast marketing Lunchly as a healthier option.
Doctor Mike, however, doesn’t agree. The licensed medical professional explained in his latest video why he believes Kai’s collab with McDonald’s and Ryan Trahan’s candy company isn’t the same as Lunchly being marketed as healthier for you. “I think that those things are not interchangeable,” he said.
“I think if you’re making a candy, well yes overconsumption of candy and added sugar is a problem, I think candy is not considered a health food.” “But when you say that Lunchly is healthy, or a healthier alternative, that’s making claims that, if debunked, you would face some criticism.” .
