MrBeast revealed friend was selected by Hershey\u2019s for secret taste test vs Feastables Instagram: feastablesYouTube star MrBeast revealed that one of his friends was selected by Hershey\u2019s for a secret taste test comparison to his own Feastables chocolate bar line. Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson is YouTube\u2019s single most-subscribed independent creator, boasting over 167 million subscribers on his main channel, alone. However, he\u2019s more than a social media mogul. The influencer has also branched out into the food business, launching his \u2018Beast Burger\u2019 fast food restaurant in late 2020 (although he\u2019s since announced he\u2019s \u201cmoving on\u201d from the business). He also created his own line of chocolate bars, called \u2018Feastables,\u2019 in early 2022, which aims to be a legitimate alternative to big brands like Hershey\u2019s. It looks like there\u2019s some significant competition brewing between the two companies, though, after MrBeast revealed that one of his friends was conscripted into a secret taste test by Hershey\u2019s against Feastables bars. MrBeast says friend conscripted into taste test by Hershey\u2019s against Feastables MrBeast divulged this information in a series of tweets on July 13, writing: \u201cMy friend was randomly selected by Hershey\u2019s to be in a blind taste test, and the whole study was him trying Feastables, then Hershey\u2019s, and rating them lol.\u201d When a fan asked how in the world his friend managed to get the gig, MrBeast responded with a screenshot of a text message his friend had seemingly sent him. \u201cWas in Pennsylvania on vacation, Jim,\u201d the text reads. \u201cWife wanted to go see it\u2026 I\u2019d call it op research. While inside, we got randomly picked to do a tasting test \/ survey.\u201d \u201cThe survey began with, \u2018What brands do you know,\u2019 and yours was the very first one listed. It ended with \u2018blind\u2019 tasting a Hershey\u2019s bar and a Feastables bar and answering questions about taste, quality, etc.\u201d It looks like Hershey\u2019s didn\u2019t exactly \u2018hand pick\u2019 Donaldson\u2019s friend to participate in the test, but it\u2019s certainly interesting that the company is viewing the YouTuber\u2019s chocolate bars as legitimate competition. While it\u2019s unclear how Feastables measured up to Hershey\u2019s in his friend\u2019s taste test, renowned chef Gordon Ramsay notably tried out MrBeast\u2019s chocolate bar brand earlier this year and found it \u201cvery good.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
