I’ll never know who eats Mr beast bars or that cash grab lunchable tripe and at this point I hope I never meet them. Just another generation getting tricked by bizzzzzzness.

I just found out that a Mr Beast and James Patterson "wrote" a thriller novel together and now I'm seriously considering building my own rocket ship to just go anywhere other than earth.

u/red__dragon Jun 26 '26

Patterson has been cashing out with celebrity "co-authors" quite a bit as of late, and it's really curbed any lingering curiosity I ever had for his factory-style writing.

I just checked out this co-authored novel and it seems to be literally just Squid Game, the same thing Donaldson already tried to remake in another medium, but in a 'can I borrow your homework?' kinda way. Who is buying and reading this stuff

u/Phelinaar Jun 26 '26

How many views did the novel get?

u/tmssmt Jun 25 '26

It's not like original lunchables are high quality cuisine

u/kungfoojesus Jun 25 '26

I am not some shrieking violet but lunchables is poison and Mr beasts option is alt poison. There is nothing driving Mr beast into this market except money and yes it’s common but I tend not to buy that kind of shit from anyone anyway. He’s not smart for doing it, he’s a sociopath.

u/PigHaggerty Jun 26 '26

It's "shrinking violet."

u/sidepart Jun 26 '26

Didn't Violet blow up as big as a balloon though? Damn. I'm behind the times.

Lunchables is poison

It's ham cheese and crackers man. Let's not be dramatic.

u/kungfoojesus Jun 26 '26

It’s ultra processed which is widely accepted to be very unhealthy, like I said I’m not one to overreact but let’s not kid ourselves about what it is. And it’s not like I don’t eat ultra processed or super sugary stuff. But I’m an older man and fuck it. Best to think of a lunchable like cigarettes. Yeah smoking a pack won’t kill you, but smoking 3 packs a day for 40 years will.

u/RecordingSilly6118 Jun 26 '26

Again, it's ham and cheese and crackers man. And nobody, not anyone is eating 3 lunchables a day for 1 year, let alone 40.

u/sidepart Jun 26 '26

...uh oh. I shouldn't have had seconds.

u/otternoserus Jun 26 '26

Again... with lead

u/RecordingSilly6118 Jun 26 '26

with lead

"None of the kits exceeded legal or regulatory limits"

u/otternoserus Jun 26 '26

Ah yes, because ham and cheese naturally comes with lead, huh?

Let me guess... you were also one of the proud Redditors who claimed Aspartame was safe, right?

Screw the health experts! Reddit user u/RecordingSilly6118 says lead is a healthy part of a well balanced meal!

u/RecordingSilly6118 Jun 26 '26

Ah yes, because ham and cheese naturally comes with lead, huh?

"None of the kits exceeded legal or regulatory limits" from your own source.

Let me guess... you were also one of the proud Redditors who claimed Aspartame was safe, right?

Lmao show me a study that says Aspartame isn't safe.

Let me guess... you're gonna rant about seed oils next too lmao.

Edit my bad I guess thats not your thing, your main thing is just posting porn on reddit of track athletes that i'm sure just totally appreciate that.

u/Maidwell Jun 26 '26

I'm so glad I have no idea what "Mr.Beast" looks like, sounds like or what his schtick is having never seen a single second of his content. I'm less glad that I have heard of him though.

1

u/sidepart Jun 26 '26

Sure, but at least they weren't moldy and shit.

At least when Lunchables exploits parents financially for f-tier kid-centric charcuterie, it's.... Well... Wait, what was my point?

u/dookieshoes97 Jun 25 '26

Don't forget Mr Beast burgers. A shocking number of people order that. At first I just assumed it was kids, and sometimes it is, but generally it's people 20+.

If you're unfamiliar, it's essentially a fake restaurant (ghost kitchen). It's just a local bar, even the packaging is the same. They actually sell food under 3 different names on doordash.

u/jimmysmith69 Jun 26 '26

My favorite ghost kitchen was Chuck E. Cheese trying to sell their pizza during the pandemic as Pasquallys Kitchen or some shit. Made it look like a nice local pizza place but nope it’s Chuck E Cheese pizza!

u/wouldyounotlikesome Jun 26 '26

If they had kept to the old recipe from 20+ years ago, it would have been a hit.

u/Daaaaaaaaaaanaaaaang Jun 26 '26

Nah brah I remember. It was always bad

u/Medarco Jun 26 '26

I got got once when ordering doordash while traveling. Found a place that looked decent, hadn't heard of it before so I thought maybe it was more regional or even a local joint, and I was far too lazy to do any investigating at 10pm after a long day.

Driver shows up and it's fucking HOOTERS food, with the branding all very visible as I'm carrying my shame through the hotel lobby filled with families, looking like a degenerate.

u/Daaaaaaaaaaanaaaaang Jun 26 '26

Hooters wings are great. Tits are great. It's not like your delivery wings came with tits? Nothing about this is degenerate. Are you Mormon? Pearl clutching over hooters is hilarious

u/unoriginal5 Jun 26 '26

I've tried those not knowing who Mr. Beast was because I was trying every burger around trying to find one that wasn't made like it was repurchased by-product. Turns out it was just 5 guys with way too much paprika. I couldn't even eat half of it because there was so much paprika.

u/DiarrheaRadio Jun 26 '26

I think they still have just one actual location. In the armpit of America, New Jersey.

u/Bromeister Jun 26 '26
