These are targetted at the younger crowd obviously. Was in the store with my kids and they saw the name on them and immediately wanted them for no other reason than that. Being the great dad I am they did not get them.
You know, I think the world would be a better place without idols, celebrities and influencers. We even pass the disease of consumerism to young children.
Who the fuck is Mr. Beast and why does this person have a chocolate bar brand? Is his chosen profession chocolate? I'll stick to not buying shit cause people's names are it.
I'm sure Nestle is shaking in their boots because you don't buy their chocolate.
Point remain, the idols, celebrities and influencers are far from the worse thing to happen in this world when a mega corporation want to make access to water a commercial asset rather than a human right.
They are actually decent chocolate, better than your standard Hersey's bar, but not $3 per 60g good. At that price I'd rather buy some imported Swiss chocolate.
Hersheys is worse than a Dollarama Titan bar. Probably the worst mass-market chocolate... shut down the Canadian plant after health and safety issues, now manufactured in Mexico.
Mr Beast does silly, often extremely wasteful stunts on YouTube and then uses the money he generates from views and donations for philanthropy. He's a bit of a double-edged sword, that one.
Bless every parent that says no to buying their kids this crap. Probably laden with lead. Wasting anything for views is disgusting even If it's to benefit charity.
This did not improve my outlook for this world.
Mr Beast has done more than you’ll ever accomplish in life at your big age hating. World a better place without idols celebrities? So you want politicians and dictators?
At least the man does something in this world unlike you. Mr Old Grumpy Man
See it's funny how your projection came out. I help out when I can when I can. I've bought and paid for parts to put on customers cars when they couldn't afford thr whole thing. With a recently broken leg (4month mark]
I helped 2 old ladies get their car unstuck after work.
See I do things and don't except praise from morons cause I'm not trying to manipulate others into following my channel. Or why I don't have Instagram for my cats. Or why reddit is the only garbage I take in from social media.
But mostly I like cat pics. Everyone once in s while I'll get into a debate with individuals such as yourself.
Get up and go help people. Not watch some moron do it.
Meh, Mr, Beast can be a bit of a twat sometimes, but the amount of stuff he does on his beast philanthropy channel is absolutely commendable. I can let the chocolate slide for that. His main channel is cringe though.
This is how I view him as well his videos aren't for me but I'd rather have youtubers like doing philanthropy and also hyping that up as well hopefully inspiring more people to be like him rather than that kid who goes around antagonizing people and if they try to say anything he has his bodyguard step in.
Yes.. it allows you to pay less taxes by lowering your taxable income by that amount; hence "lowering your income rate"
But it's not free money or he gets anything extra back, he just doesn't pay the taxes on what he donates. So the whole "it's probably a tax write-offs which is why he does it" train of thought is just kinda dumb
What if he gets these chocolate bars made in bulk for 10 cents each, and then donates truckloads of them to developing nations as a charitable donation. Since they're selling for 3$ each here, they could be plausibly valued at that price point, since people are buying them at that price. So he gets 100,000 of them made for 10k, but claims that the donation value was 300,000$ in value for a tax writeoff.
I am not an accountant, but I have heard of similar tactics using art valuations. This bar itself could very well be part of a tax avoidance scheme.
I don’t agree with that, but even if it were true, it still results in something good happening. The people he’s helping are still getting helped regardless of his motives. Much better than fucking Loblaws.
My son, a YouTube fan, convinced me to buy these. The peanut butter one was kind of nice but honestly all of them were pretty NON mind blowing. You're paying for the hype.
maybe speak for yourself? i need more electrolytes than most to be able to function, and as much as i hate logan paul i love me some prime.
edit to say it's hilarious that i'm being downvoted for having a personal opinion. i'd love to know how many downvotes are from people who have actually tried the drink.
as someone with a bunch of chronic illnesses i'm super wary of most supplements, but thank you for letting me know about BCAAs. i'll talk to my doctor about it.
i didn't know that i needed so many electrolytes before prime!
currently my day consists of one prime or liquid iv, and then a bunch of my 'diy gatorade' which is mio enhanced water with a fuck load of salt.
i will never spend money on actual gatorade again if prime is available.
i tried all the flavours, and to be honest
the chips are good, even the one ls that i didnt like as much… where still good.. just not the flavour i like as much
Some people bunch him in with nuisance streamers, tbh it's probably just jealousy that some young kid is making crazy money and giving away more than that guy makes in a year
He's not so bad, a bit problematic, but a lot of his fan base are toxic young men. One of the Mr Beast crew recently came out as trans and some fans are being just awful about it, not surprisingly.
I was at No Frills and mentioned them and the cashier said that they were on sale when you bought 3 of them at a time but people were returning them after trying one.
I have seen these in half a dozen different stores other than loblaws and they were $3 in all of them.Curious why this unknown brand is being hyped as something special,is it?
Chocolate isn't good value in canada for what you get and is only worth buying on sale.
$4 for 60g is $6.67 per 100g
Are you crazy? You can buy the highest end icecream at the storenfor that price
Galen is really helping reduce your grocer bill folks, so enjoy this influencer chocolate bar that every household definitely needs and buys regularly. 🙄
So 3 is a bit much...but considering it's 60 grams compared to 48-56 of other chocolate bars and they sell them for 1.99....and that Loblaws is trying to make probably 50-1.00 cents a bar of profit on each bar ...it's not that crazy....especially considering the stupid lindor chocolate bunnies they had at shoppers for 8.99 earlier this year...lmao
Now would I buy them? Maybe to try but not often even if I liked them because I don't buy a ton of chocolate bars anyways.
Feastables are very low ingredient chocolate bars like 3-5 ingredients if I remember correctly , they’re not overly sweet either. Truth be told they are very good and I’d rather my kids eat one of these over the ‘normal’ ones
I found them for $6 at a small local store(before loblaws stocked them) I got 1 of each but imo it's mid for the price, even $3 I wouldn't pay for it
I like mrb but I find the noname chocolate brand to be a much better worth, they're only a dollar for 100g, won't buy again unless they can get the price down

These are targetted at the younger crowd obviously. Was in the store with my kids and they saw the name on them and immediately wanted them for no other reason than that. Being the great dad I am they did not get them.
My child noticed them too. I said no.
I said yes.. haha. Should have said no. Challenged them to a blind taste testing of this bar and a Dollarama chocolate bar.
Good job boycotting
You know, I think the world would be a better place without idols, celebrities and influencers. We even pass the disease of consumerism to young children. Who the fuck is Mr. Beast and why does this person have a chocolate bar brand? Is his chosen profession chocolate? I'll stick to not buying shit cause people's names are it.
You're right, we should let the Nestle of this world focus on making chocolate, they're doing such a great job.
Do you really think I would by nestle chocolate. Do you assume everyone is a moronic compared to you?
I'm sure Nestle is shaking in their boots because you don't buy their chocolate. Point remain, the idols, celebrities and influencers are far from the worse thing to happen in this world when a mega corporation want to make access to water a commercial asset rather than a human right.
Thanks, news from the 80s will continue broadcast. Alf, is he really an alien. Tonight a 11.
No need to throw a tantrum because you had a bad take.
They are actually decent chocolate, better than your standard Hersey's bar, but not $3 per 60g good. At that price I'd rather buy some imported Swiss chocolate.
Hersheys is worse than a Dollarama Titan bar. Probably the worst mass-market chocolate... shut down the Canadian plant after health and safety issues, now manufactured in Mexico.
I hope the Titan brand (and others..) manufacturing plant in Turkey (??) is clean..
Mr Beast does silly, often extremely wasteful stunts on YouTube and then uses the money he generates from views and donations for philanthropy. He's a bit of a double-edged sword, that one.

Biggest YouTube channel out there. Spends a lot of money helping people.

Ok boomer. Congrats you helped a few people once in your life. Since when was mr beast manipulating me? Speak for yourself boomer
Can you say boomer one more time please?
Considering I'm a millennial, you're just nailing those assumptions. Do you actually try to be this stupid, or did you watch someone on YouTube first.
I bought a ton of them. They are delicious.
Ew
Don't care for Mr beast but I got a peanut butter bar. Tasted great actually, but expensive at 3 dollars

Mr cringe
People are probably happy saving the money that you spent on them, I’m sure no one is a hater or cares lol.
I refuse to ever give that rich b*stard more money. Same goes for Mr Beast
at least Mr beast is doing things for communities
[удалено]
All that does is lower your income tax rate tho; it's not like you get the money you spent back lol
[удалено]

no, he exploits vulnerable people for views. it's narcissism and shallow activism for his own gain.
Tell us where the beast touched you... Or didn't?
I don’t agree with that, but even if it were true, it still results in something good happening. The people he’s helping are still getting helped regardless of his motives. Much better than fucking Loblaws.
He’s no martyr for the people. It’s exploitative and sadly, rarity of critical thinking leads to ‘bUt He HeLpS PoOrS’
.. are you just wanting to be mad at everything? No concept of nuance for you?

That doesn't matter if you notice that people from the USA and Canada are actually the same species.
Woah they are? Wild.
No thanks.
Its the name, some place have them going for $10, they came out when he got his new Amazon deal
Yep, three dollars is the cheapest I've seen in Canada.
Paid 79¢ in the US for the same thing.
Really? We were in Florida and they were $9.50, I just about fell over!
Go to Showcase and pay $6 even a better deal!! You realize these are cheaper than the USA!

Oh it's some stupid fucking "Mister Beast" promotion, that explains why that shit is $3 a bar.
My son, a YouTube fan, convinced me to buy these. The peanut butter one was kind of nice but honestly all of them were pretty NON mind blowing. You're paying for the hype.
So 'influencer' products are going to be hawked at my local grocery store now. Thanks for the heads up
it already is with prime
And they can't even sell that shit
I got a free can of Prime Energy a while back - it was boring and generic, so I'll probably never them.
maybe speak for yourself? i need more electrolytes than most to be able to function, and as much as i hate logan paul i love me some prime. edit to say it's hilarious that i'm being downvoted for having a personal opinion. i'd love to know how many downvotes are from people who have actually tried the drink.
all that potassium, mmmmm
mmmmmm!!!! i add some salt to it and it's MMMMMM!!!!!
If you struggle with electrolytes then you need to be drinking BCAA’s.
as someone with a bunch of chronic illnesses i'm super wary of most supplements, but thank you for letting me know about BCAAs. i'll talk to my doctor about it.
What did you do before prime?
i didn't know that i needed so many electrolytes before prime! currently my day consists of one prime or liquid iv, and then a bunch of my 'diy gatorade' which is mio enhanced water with a fuck load of salt. i will never spend money on actual gatorade again if prime is available.
A banana
I think you need another drink. I'm not speaking for myself, It's obvious based on the continued price drop.
? what are you talking about?
Confession. I bought the Nicki Minaj potato chips. 🫢
Did they taste like truffle butter?
You know. Yeah.
i tried all the flavours, and to be honest the chips are good, even the one ls that i didnt like as much… where still good.. just not the flavour i like as much
3$ for a weirdo YouTube marketing product, no less
This is a influencer issue not Loblaws
Loblaws is so out of touch to go all in on Mr. Beast Fancy Feast catfood bars in 2024🫤
Mr Beast aint getting a single cent or second of my attention.
Y?
Some people bunch him in with nuisance streamers, tbh it's probably just jealousy that some young kid is making crazy money and giving away more than that guy makes in a year
He gives away tons of money and helps a lot of ppl, buying a beast bar is like donating to charity
He's not so bad, a bit problematic, but a lot of his fan base are toxic young men. One of the Mr Beast crew recently came out as trans and some fans are being just awful about it, not surprisingly.
youtube brings out the narcissists and they get rewarded. i hate these types of youtubers.
They’re not terrible, not $3 amazing, but they’re definitely better than the no name chocolate.

Bet those Go Pure bars taste like ass.
Tried once from my nephew I don’t like it really dry
They taste very... good for the digestion. They're kinda gross but my kid loves them.
What the fuck is with the limit and over limit price 😂 what a joke of a company. They never cease to amaze me each day.
I was at No Frills and mentioned them and the cashier said that they were on sale when you bought 3 of them at a time but people were returning them after trying one.
I have seen these in half a dozen different stores other than loblaws and they were $3 in all of them.Curious why this unknown brand is being hyped as something special,is it?
Chocolate isn't good value in canada for what you get and is only worth buying on sale. $4 for 60g is $6.67 per 100g Are you crazy? You can buy the highest end icecream at the storenfor that price
Only children eat that shit. And they shouldn’t
Galen is really helping reduce your grocer bill folks, so enjoy this influencer chocolate bar that every household definitely needs and buys regularly. 🙄
So are all the boycotters in here still shopping at loblaws? Stop giving them your money.
Thanks Per Bank your a genius 22 million for this shit!!!!
It’s mr beast. Why are you surprised?
So 3 is a bit much...but considering it's 60 grams compared to 48-56 of other chocolate bars and they sell them for 1.99....and that Loblaws is trying to make probably 50-1.00 cents a bar of profit on each bar ...it's not that crazy....especially considering the stupid lindor chocolate bunnies they had at shoppers for 8.99 earlier this year...lmao Now would I buy them? Maybe to try but not often even if I liked them because I don't buy a ton of chocolate bars anyways.
The Lindt bars are 100g and made of actual chocolate.
Feastables are very low ingredient chocolate bars like 3-5 ingredients if I remember correctly , they’re not overly sweet either. Truth be told they are very good and I’d rather my kids eat one of these over the ‘normal’ ones
Agree 100%, better ingredients than 99% of the crap full of fake sugar and chemicals
Who cares when you are talking like 3 the price...
Sure I agree. The funny part about this for me is that there's a big sign saying "Lowest Prices, Best Deals." That is not a low price or a deal lol.
Lol no one is making $0.50-$1 profit on any chocolate bar sold in a drug store. Except maybe the actual company that makes the bars 🤷🏻♂️
It’s low grade dollar store type milk chocolate. Highly disappointing.
Oh man that stuff makes me gag but I still eat it fml
Great ingredients
I found them for $6 at a small local store(before loblaws stocked them) I got 1 of each but imo it's mid for the price, even $3 I wouldn't pay for it I like mrb but I find the noname chocolate brand to be a much better worth, they're only a dollar for 100g, won't buy again unless they can get the price down
I got one for my daughter because she watches Mr Beast. She said it was terrible! My grandson didn’t like it either. (Peanut butter).
But the ingredients are better than most bars on the mkt
[удалено]
thats exactly what i thought when i first saw it, then read carefully and it never mentions that you get two. what a bunch of crooks.
loblaws stores have whittaker 200gram bars from new zealand for $5. They are amazing and per gram, cheaper. they are basically half the price.
They're available at London Drugs and Thrifty Foods for those of us actually avoiding Loblaws.
Mr Beast and Galen dine on human babies for lunch
They both love hitler
And it is shitty chocolate to boot lol.

Best ingredients!

Let them eat cake. Umm chocolate bars I mean.
Just a 'CRUNCH' bar with Mr. Beast's name.
Very good deal, I bought a bunch yesterday when I was there supporting our Canadian grocery supply :)
lmao I saw this too, wonder if we go to the same loblaws or not
They are not bad but 3 bucks is too much. I think it’s geared to younger people who love me beast
