YouTuber fools the internet with fake Dream McDonald\u2019s meal collab YouTube: Liam BedfordYouTuber Liam Bedford managed to prank fans of uber-popular Minecraft personality \u2018Dream\u2019 by faking a collaborative McDonald\u2019s meal with the faceless content creator. Dream is one of the handful of influencers who skyrocketed to fame in 2020 amid the Among Us craze \/ Minecraft resurgence. Much like Corpse Husband, this YouTuber doesn\u2019t show his face \u2014 and the mystery surrounding him has proven to be a major benefit to the star. Dream boasts over 22 million followers on YouTube, managing to gain 14 million of them in the span of a single year after going viral in 2020. Now, the Minecrafter even makes his own music and merchandise\u2026 but has he scored a deal with McDonald\u2019s, too? As it turns out, he did not \u2014 but UK-based YouTuber Liam Bedford sure fooled the internet into thinking he did. In a June 7 upload, Bedford explained how he tricked Dream\u2019s fanbase into believing the faceless influencer had, like BTS and Travis Scott before him, nabbed a custom meal at McDonald\u2019s. Bedford went to the trouble of creating a fake marketing campaign for Dream\u2019s McDonald\u2019s \u201cmeal,\u201d buying supplies and food from the famous fast-food chain to produce a series of professional-looking photo advertisements. Next, he \u201cleaked\u201d the images to the net via TikTok by creating a fake \u201cDream stan\u201d profile, through which he disseminated the fake advertisement in a video that quickly took the Dream fanbase by storm. Read More: How does Dream make money? – It wasn\u2019t long before Twitter lit up with speculation surrounding the meal, with fans all over the world getting excited about what looked to be a huge development for one of YouTube\u2019s biggest stars. Alas, it was all just a prank, although Bedford does hope that McDonald\u2019s will collaborate with a YouTuber some time in the future. While Dream\u2019s McDonald\u2019s meal isn\u2019t in the cards right now, he did score a burger at MrBeast Burger a few months back, featuring his signature green color in the form of Avocado \u2014 something that Bedford made sure to include in his fake promo pics. This isn\u2019t the first time Bedford has pulled off a prank using Dream, either; the YouTuber also turned the Dream SMP into a #1 best-selling book, explaining what the survival multiplayer server actually is to those out of the Minecraft loop. While Dream has yet to respond to this elaborate practical joke, Bedford\u2019s video certainly speaks to how quickly misinformation can be online\u2026 and there\u2019s no telling if Dream\u2019s fans will be amused by his antics or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
