Part 7/10:
Adding fuel to the fire, Chris tackles the recent controversy surrounding MrBeast's snack product, “Lunchy.” He decries the poor quality of the product, which had reportedly been shipped with mold, and critiques how this symbolizes deeper issues within the influencer marketplace.

Chris uses this controversy to exemplify how creators must be wary of the products they endorse, especially when those products can adversely affect their younger audience.
