Pokimane responds to rumors that Myna Snacks are rebranded cookies: \u201cWe own our formula\u201d YouTube: PokimaneTwitch star Pokimane is speaking out after her new snack brand, Myna Snacks, was compared to another popular cookie brand, setting the record straight in a series of posts on Twitter\/X. On November 13, Twitch streaming star Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys launched her very first product \u2014 a snack line called \u2018Myna Snacks.\u2019 The first (and thus far, only) snack available for the brand are chocolate cookies infused with Vitamin D, called the Midnight Mini Cookies. They\u2019re available to purchase on the official Myna Snacks website at $7 per bag in batches of varying amounts \u2014 a 4-pack, 8-pack, and 12-pack. Although fans were excited about this major move in Poki\u2019s career, critics began comparing Myna Snacks to cookies from another brand that were reportedly on sale at Costco earlier this year. As detailed in a thread on Twitter\/X, user \u2018Atelisi\u2019 noticed that the ingredients listed in Toatzy\u2019s Midnight Mini Cookies were similar to those in Pokimane\u2019s cookies of the exact same name. Others noticed that Myna Snacks were sold at a higher price than Toatzy\u2019s for the same weight ($28 vs $9.99 for 400g of product). Myna Snacks responded to concerns in a statement to Dexerto, saying \u201cour product formulation is unique to Myna and exclusive to us. We can confirm the Midnight Mini Cookies were in development for two years. This process included many rounds of testing and ingredient changes.\u201d Pokimane addresses copycat concerns over new Myna Midnight Mini Cookies Now, Pokimane has responded to the conversation, uploading her thoughts on the matter in a series of posts on X. In her statement, Pokimane claimed that the cookies buyers will be getting were made \u201cthree weeks ago\u201d and \u201care not a drop shipped product.\u201d \u201cWe own our formula,\u201d the streamer wrote. \u201cThe cookies they are being compared to were also made by our manufacturer, Creation Foods, which specializes in healthy food. The compared cookies had one test batch sold before they were retired. Months later, we partnered with Creation Foods and fell in love with the flavor profile of the Midnight Cookie.\u201d Poki says she and her team \u201cworked together to refine and improve the formula\u201d and are \u201creally happy with the final product.\u201d \u201cWhile the ingredients list may look similar, they are entirely different in terms of ingredient quality, quantity\/ratios ,sourcing, the size\/texture of the cookie, and of course the added Vitamin D.\u201d Poki also addressed the pricing of her product as opposed to the Toatzy cookies, saying that \u201cmaking a healthy and quality snack with real, gluten-free ingredients and added vitamins is not a cheap practice,\u201d adding, \u201cany profits we make goes directly back into creating more quality products.\u201d myna has been a 2 year passion project to create a brand that provides the healthy and yummy snacks that we deserve. if you try the cookies & love them, i am so grateful and thank you. we are already working on new products and i can’t wait to show you all. \ud83d\ude42 \u2014 pokimane (@pokimanelol) November 15, 2023 \u201cMyna has been a two-year passion project to create a brand that provides the healthy and yummy snacks that we deserve,\u201d she added in a follow-up post. \u201cIf you try the cookies and love them, I am so grateful and thank you.
