A blind taste test has delivered another blow to MrBeast‘s food empire, with a former collaborator delivering scathing reviews of the YouTube giant’s chocolate milk product during a recent livestream.
YouTuber Ludwig didn’t hold back when sampling what appeared to be Feastables chocolate milk. He immediately declared it tasted “like s**t from a butt” before reluctantly taking additional sips to confirm their harsh assessment. The memorable critique continued with equally colorful descriptions, including comparisons to “a spirit Halloween store” and noting it had an unusual thickness that made it “a little bit sludgy.”
Perhaps most surprising was the observation that the product tasted “like they put oregano in it” – a descriptor that resonated strongly with viewers who found the idea of herb-flavored chocolate milk particularly off-putting.
The blind format of the test added credibility to the critique, as the reviewer had no knowledge of which products they were sampling until after delivering their verdicts. When the MrBeast product was eventually revealed, Ludwig doubled down on their negative assessment, ranking it dead last among the seven chocolate milk brands tested.
Community discussion around the taste test revealed potential explanations for the poor reception. Several commenters pointed to the ingredient list, particularly the inclusion of milk protein isolate, which one user noted makes products taste artificial despite manufacturers’ best efforts to mask the flavor.
“Even in the best tasting protein powders, bars, and drinks, the best they can do is mask it,” one commenter explained.
An individual claiming to work in dairy production offered additional insight, stating they help manufacture the product and revealing it contains “a spice powder we put in it that makes it taste like a hot chocolate brownie mix.” They also noted the unusually high fat content compared to typical chocolate milk formulations.
The harsh review adds to mounting criticism of MrBeast’s food ventures. Many content creators who have conducted blind taste tests of Feastables products have delivered similarly negative assessments, with one viewer noting that “EVERY tuber I’ve seen blind taste test it always says it’s terrible.”
