I saw Feastables chocolate in store so I tried it, despite being like 3 times more expensive then the other ones.

Literally tasted the same like the cheapest chocolates next to it.

It's genuinely terrible and extremely cheap tasting. It's like what you would imagine chocolate would taste like if you never had it and somebody attempted to describe it to you

So the Tang of chocolates?

u/fnrsulfr 2d ago

Yeah I hope this guy isn’t talking about the stuff that astronauts drink

u/Ginge00 1d ago

President Clinton can tell you where to get some tang

u/b1ackcr0vv 2d ago

It’s like someone described oranges to someone, vaguely and then that person told someone and they told someone and they told someone who made the drink.

u/cereal7802 3d ago

u/SPOOKESVILLE 2d ago

This is just a lie lmao. It is absolutely better than hersheys, but anything is better than hersheys

u/b_chan 3d ago

Maybe the old formula, I would agree, but the newer one is maybe slightly better than Hershey. Which isn't really a compliment, but at least it's edible now, haha.

u/massivecastles 2d ago

Is it on like a chocolate coins at Easter kinda level, that Palmer bullshit

u/Kordell_11 3d ago

It literally just tastes like average chocolate. No need to bad mouth it, just because an influencer has their name on it.

u/the_rare_bear 2d ago edited 2d ago

If it’s one of the more expensive chocolates and it tastes average or worse, it deserves to be trashed no matter who’s name is behind it but I will give him credit where’s it due and it is ethically sourced.

u/Kordell_11 2d ago

Man said "it's genuinely terrible and extremely cheap tasting" which is just not true. You can criticize the price, but not the taste because it doesn't taste bad at all.

People are exaggerating the awfulness of it because an influencer is making money from it.

2

u/the_rare_bear 2d ago

“People are exaggerating the awfulness of it” You’re right. It’s not as bad as they make it out to be but it tastes like a $1 chocolate at a $3 price.

u/AccomplishedCheck168 2d ago

I really don't know much about the chocolate, but based off what I know about Mr. Beast and this thread, I would assume that the feastables stuff makes sure to ethically source all of its chocolate/labor/whatever. I would assume it tastes like hershey's but at a markup. I agree that is stupid, I am more likely to pay an even higher markup for something resembling a gourmet/premium bar of chocolate but ethical. I think saying it "deserves to be trashed" for trying to fill that market of "cheap" (at least tasting) chocolate without being made by literal slaves is a bit much.

u/the_rare_bear 2d ago

That’s fair. I edited my comment so at least I am giving him credit.

u/LeftLose 3d ago

I got one of the birthday cake flavored ones and I’m not sure wtf they were thinking. Sure it was cheap but the texture and taste was disgusting

7

u/reddit_4_days 3d ago

It was cheap? It's waaay overpriced where I'm from..

More expensive than Lindt and triple the price than Ritter Sport....

6

u/pengu221a 3d ago

Where I live its the cheapest by far, regularly 1.50$ per bar when everything else is 2-2.50.

Its not awful but its not amazing.

u/DragonflyProof4123 3d ago

I'm shocked at the hate, I tried their peanut butter chocolate bar and I loved it, tasted better than Reese's peanut butter cup and I'm a huge Reese's fan

Granted I never tried the regular stuff

u/ARandomNiceAnimeGuy 3d ago

Could be like my case where the only time I tried them, it was right before Beast changed the whole chocolate.

If it was like 1~half year ago, then that might be the case. Just google up the different packaging

2

u/ActionPhilip 3d ago

I tried it before the swap and it was genuinely good. Now, it's not even close. The formula swap was ass.

1

u/DragonflyProof4123 3d ago

I tried it like 6 months ago, did they already swap the formula when I had it, now I'm tempted to have a cheat treat again 

1

u/ARandomNiceAnimeGuy 2d ago

I think so. When the Dogpack and MrBeast drama got out, thats when it got releases that Beast had changed the feastables.

That drama already has like 6 months, so most likely the one you tried was already the new one

1

u/Tactical_Tac0 2d ago

Have only tried the peanut butter cup, but when I had it recently (this month) it was better than Reese's. Main thing for me is the peanut butter has an actual peanut butter texture, whereas the Reese's has like a dry texture. Problem is that it's like 50% more expensive than Reese's in my area

1

u/Reefermadness209 2d ago

comments like these are insane as a german, the 1€ chocolate from Aldi is 100x times better than any mr.beast shit

2

u/Fortlulz 3d ago

It’s more expensive because they don’t use child labor

1

u/ChaseThePyro 2d ago

Are they not using cocoa beans to make the chocolate?

1

u/ednamode23 3d ago

I don’t dislike Feastables but it certainly isn’t worth the premium.

1

u/ThisIs_americunt 3d ago

IIRC he did two different types. The first one was ass cause he probably went with the lowest bidder to make them. Second run is decent but only a few flavors

1

u/FSD-Bishop 3d ago

Yep, I'm pretty sure it is just the cheap holiday chocolate with MrBeasts name slapped on it. My nephew begged me for it before so I got him a bar and he didn't finish it and never asked me for it again.

1

u/No-Material-452 3d ago

Saw it on shelves in Bangkok & Tokyo. Always a lot of stock, so it didn't seem to be flying off the shelves. Spotted one tourist mom buying a bar for their kid in Bangkok; if I spoke Cantonese, I might have asked if they had tried it before and would recommend it.

1

u/Person899887 3d ago

It’s in clearance in every store ive been in lmao, it’s now become the cheap option.

1

u/TheReturnOfTheRanger 2d ago

I did this as well with some friends, and I completely disagree.

The other cheap chocolates were WAY better than whatever feastables is.

1

u/Unable-Head-1232 2d ago

Well at least you didn’t pay for it

1

u/spoon_collector 2d ago

I tried the peanut butter Feastable bar and thought it was alright for American chocolate. Way better than Hershey's, but still not good compared to not-american chocolate.

1

u/JarlsTerra 2d ago

It tastes like cheap advent calendar chocolate 

1

u/These-Finance-5359 2d ago

My nephews BEGGED me to buy them feastables chocolate bars. I let them of course. They couldnt even wait till we got home to crack them open and take a bite. When they did, one of them (age 7) just made an angry face and yelled "THIS JUST TASTE LIKE REGULAR CHOCOLATE"

They learned a valuable lesson about advertising that day, and it only cost me like $6

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_LS_SWAP 2d ago

The feastables products around here have ended up in liquidation stores for $.69 cents a bar. no joke.

1

u/Zealousideal_Act_316 1d ago

I tried it because a friend bought it. I kid you not that shit was on par with lidl chocolate bars for 60cents, not worth the nearly 5 eur it costs

1

u/AJDillonsThirdLeg 21h ago

It's probably the same recipe made in the same plant, just with different packaging. You'd be surprised how many different brands are co-packed in the same plant.

u/-neti-neti- 2d ago

Why did you try it if it was 3 times more expensive

You literally are a complete sucker and exactly their target audience. You bought it JUST because of the label. Embarrassing
