YouTube’s top stars have launched their competitor to Lunchables.

MrBeast, Logan Paul, and KSI are collaborating on a “groundbreaking new better-for-you lunch option” called Lunchly, combining all their goods into a single meal geared at their younger fans.

The all-in-one meal includes a bottle of Prime Hydration, a sports drink alternative founded by Paul and KSI that has grown in popularity; a Feastables milk chocolate bar created by MrBeast, a popular YouTube star with over 300 million subscribers; and one of three processed food options, including pizza, nachos, or turkey aand cheese with crackers.

“Our ultimate goal has always been to offer not only high-quality products, but also healthier alternatives,” Lunchly cofounder Logan Paul stated in a press release. He also stated that the school lunch industry has been “dominated by Lunchables” since he was a child, and that it is “time to provide a better option for those looking for a convenient, healthier choice.”

Lunchly promises to be “healthier” since Prime contains more electrolytes than a Capri Sun in Lunchables, and Mr. Beast’s chocolate bar contains less sugar than a Kit Kat or Crunch bar.

Lunchly’s launch comes after Lunchable, owned by Kraft Heinz, announced a huge initiative last year to participate in school lunch programs. However, the company had to reformulate the components first to guarantee that the items met regulatory rules, which included incorporating fresh fruit into their meals.

Consumer Reports reported in 2024 that it recently studied the nutritional profiles of two Lunchables kits supplied in schools and discovered that they contain significantly more sodium than the Lunchables kits available in stores.

Of course, KSI, Paul, and MrBeast know how to create brands, thanks partly to their devoted following. Despite government worries about the caffeine content of some of its drinks, Prime sales have risen, threatening industry leaders such as Gatorade and BodyArmor.

“Prime brings a youthful buying cohort that hasn’t had a lot pitched their way beyond traditional kids’ drinks,” Jeffrey Klineman, editor-in-chief of BevNet, previously told CNN. “Paul is significantly more intriguing to a 13-year-old than a juice box.”

McDonald’s has become known for its broken ice cream machines; there is even an independent website that tracks broken McFlurry machines. So Wendy’s is taking advantage.

Wendy’s is offering small-sized, $1 Frosty frozen dairy treats until September 30 — and it’s cooperating with McBroken, which tracks which McDonald’s stores have broken ice cream equipment.

The temporary price decrease may also draw value-seeking customers who are eating out less frequently and spending less when they do, slowing fast food sales and reducing restaurant visitation.

Wendy’s Takes Aim At McDonald’s Broken McFlurry Machines With A $1 Frosty

Wendy’s Frosty “has been the go-to sweet treat fix when fans’ cravings strike, while the ice cream machines at the other guys are offline — often for two to three hours at a time,” the chain claimed in a release, without mentioning McDonald’s directly.

McBroken’s data shows that about 15% of McDonald’s ice cream machines are broken as of Thursday. The most common time they are inaccessible is between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., with Chicago, Houston, Las Vegas, New York, and Los Angeles among the most affected cities.

Wendy’s put the locations of its restaurants, as represented by its logo, to the McBroken map to show fans where to get a “reliable and delicious option.” There is also an ad at the top of the website promoting the $1 Frosty Special.

Rashiq Zahid founded McBroken a few years ago, after becoming dissatisfied with McDonald’s lack of operating ice cream machines. He previously told CNN that it works by combining data from the McDonald’s iOS and Android apps.

If the ice cream machine is not operational, the McDonald’s app will remove the ice cream order from the cart, he explained. When this occurs, a red dot shows on the mcbroken.com map, signifying unavailability in that area.

In response, McDonald’s previously told CNN, “it is exciting to see customer passion translate into customer-innovated solutions to further make that experience a reality.”

The cold dessert rivalry between Wendy’s and McDonald’s has heated up in recent years. Wendy’s has started adding limited-time flavors, like as pumpkin spice and peppermint, to increase the appeal of the Frosty. McDonald’s frequently pushes new flavours for its McFlurry, but recently added a smaller variant as customers continue to look for bargain.

General Mills Canada Co. has recalled Kirkland Signature brand Greek yogurt that was sold in Costco stores across Canada, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), because of possible mould contamination.

A form of yeast that may cause disease in individuals with weakened immune systems has caused the producer, Danone Canada, to announce the second recall of yogurt from the retailer Costco in as many months.

The recall concerns Costco’s Kirkland Signature Probiotic Yogurt, which is sold in 24-packs of 100-gram portions and was purchased at its Canadian warehouses between September 3 and September 19, according to a warning published on the retailer’s website on September 23 by Danone Canada.

According to the CBC. the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, and Saskatchewan, Costco retail shops carried the recalled Greek yogurts.

Danone stated that since yeast is not known to flourish in cold temperatures, there was no risk to food safety. The maker of the yogurt advised consumers to return it to a Costco warehouse for a complete refund and to refrain from eating the product.
