    Jimmy Donaldson, widely recognised as MrBeast, has recently unveiled his latest creation: revamped versions of his Feastables Chocolate Bars. Touting them as the "best-tasting chocolate ever made by mankind," Donaldson showcased his innovation in a brief video shared on his social media platforms. The video notably featured a blind taste test, pitting his product against established European brands, affirming the superior taste of his creation.

    New Feastables Chocolate Bars

    The announcement of the rebranding first surfaced through the official Feastables X account on February 11, stirring anticipation among fans. Speculation swirled regarding the possibility of a Superbowl advertisement to promote the new bars, yet Donaldson chose an alternative route, opting to elucidate further details through a video on his secondary channel.

    In his address, Donaldson revealed that the freshly minted MrBeast Feastables Chocolate Bars would soon grace the shelves of Walmarts across the United States. However, their availability in the global market remains uncertain. Additionally, consumers have the chance to participate in a $10,000 giveaway by scanning the barcodes of purchased bars between February 17 and March 17.


    Donaldson's fervent endorsement of the revamped chocolate bars shows his belief in their superiority. Describing it as the "biggest announcement" of his career, he emphasised his dedication to entrepreneurial ventures, a focus increasingly evident in his recent endeavours.

    Taking a playful jab at established brands, particularly Hershey's, Donaldson humorously remarked, "Doesn't everything taste better than a Hershey's bar?" This remark encapsulates his team's year-long endeavour to craft a superior chocolate bar, resulting in the introduction of seven tantalizing flavours: Milk Chocolate, Milk Crunch, Almond, Peanut Butter, Peanut Butter Crunch, Dark Chocolate, and Dark Chocolate Sea Salt.

    Presently, the new iterations of Feastables are exclusively available in the United States, with plans for global expansion yet to materialize. Notably, the "Deez Nuts" variant has been rebranded as "Peanut Butter" following a legal dispute, reflecting the brand's adaptability in response to challenges.

    Consumer Response: A Sweet Success Story

    The overwhelming reception of MrBeast's revamped Feastables Chocolate Bars is palpable, as evidenced by their rapid depletion from Walmart shelves nationwide. Responding to fan inquiries and expressions of disappointment over sold-out stocks, Donaldson assured his audience of ongoing efforts to restock stores promptly, affirming, "I’ll restock it as fast as I can."

    In the wake of the bars' unprecedented popularity, fans have flooded social media platforms with images of empty Feastables boxes in Walmart stores, highlighting the product's widespread acclaim and swift sales.

    Feastables' meteoric rise in popularity culminated in an official sponsorship deal with the Charlotte Hornets, an NBA team hailing from Donaldson's hometown, cementing its status as a burgeoning brand to watch.
