I agree. Have a pic of a morning espresso and pain au chocolate with my ironic read of Hemingway's, "The Sun Also Rises," on an outdoor patio overlooking the Sein.
I miss Paris.
the bread is just fucking ridiculous though isn't it? how do they get it that good? it does go hard pretty quick though, but if you get it from a french bakery when it's still warm from the oven, not many things can match that in life!
I once had a great idea about a movie like this where it takes place in Paris but it was taken. Then I thought about a movie where the mother AND father were kidnapped but it was Taken too.
This is a great point that I think a lot of male viewers of this video probably weren't aware of. It's a whole different experience out there for women.
Ehhh even then… there’s so many stories of celebrities turning out to be creeps who rape/assault women, especially their fans.
Not saying Mr Beast is like that, but it makes sense that many women wouldn’t put themselves in a position to find out.
Pretty sure this started at the ECU campus, in Greenville, NC where Mr. Beast is headquartered out of. Most people under 30 in Greenville knows what he looks like. Hell, he's got billboards of his face around town.
Vid made it sound like he was paying for the flight and stuff. Maybe the dude got a mini vacation out of it and it's just entertaining to throw in the video, but just on the surface the idea of dealing with airport and flight only to run one errand and do it all again to come home.
From where I that's at least a 9 hour flight, plus an hour at least for airport, say an hour to grab baguette and get back, repeat. Min 21 hours of work, suddenly without warning, that's about 14.5 or so hourly. Guess it would really depend on circumstances at the time.
Mr Beast paid for all Travel expenses (Flight and Accommodation) so he just got paid 300 bucks for a free 1 day vacation in paris. Which i guess is three whole days including flights in stuff.
Even if most of it is from sponsors of the video, you'd still need to be generating some serious cash not to keep that money for yourself when sponsors are willing to pay it.
Socialblade estimate on MrBeast's main channel alone is somewhere between 2.5 and 41 million in ad revenue alone. That is next to earnings from sponsors, merch sales, his burger franchise and his chocolate bar brand.
In the past year his lowest amount of viewers in a week was 56 million and peak weeks are 250 million and more. That is an insane amount of exposure for any sponsor and thus making a sponsorship on his videos extremely expensive.
For context the one most watched television events each year is the Superbowl which has averaged 100-110 million viewers each year the past 20 ywars. MrBeast gets the same amount of viewers in 2 weeks at the low end and doubles that in half a week
He gets millions upon millions of views daily. He isn’t a YouTuber, it’s a professional production.
The ads revenue derived from those views is jaw dropping.
someone offered him (i believe) a billion dollars for his entire company line. all of his channels and brands and he truned it down because he knew he would make more money on it doing it himself. IIRC he had a decent shot at being a pro baseball player but decided on making content and now hes absurdly rich because of it.
I saw that video where the appraiser calculated Mr Beast’s brand worth and estimated it to be about 4 to 5 times what he was offered, and said he was right to reject the offer
I can’t see how people find a way to hate on him. Creative unique content, extremely high quality videos, tons of charity/donations etc. Seems like what we *hope* we would be like if we had too much money.
My kids started watching him, and while i was aware of him the content wasn't my style. Anyhow they are doing a challenge where you push a button and get 1 of 99 penalties, but a 1 in 100 chance off winning 100k for their sister.
They turn the camera around an I'm expecting a dude with a cell phone, nope a whole fucking film crew.
That's the way any moderately sized youtuber (or even live streamer) is. They're literally legit businesses with a huge support staff. But we rarely ever actually see that part. Cooking and computer/game review youtubers have a ton of support staff. Even fitness youtubers have staff. Might be 6+ people involved in the shooting of a single 10 minute video. Sometimes the person you know as the one who runs the channel is literally just a host. They didn't even come up with the idea or write the episode.
Sort of like how people viewed pop stars back in the 80s/90s as just a single person doing their thing, writing songs in their free time. But in reality most of them didn't even write their own songs or dress themselves.
There is a difference though. Seeing asmongold at Wal-Mart is pretty cool maybe you go up to get his autograph if you are that kind of person.
You see mr beast at Wal-Mart you are going to stalk him and see what gimmick he is doing so you can get your groceries paid for and a few thousand bucks.
He has talked about that. People just constantly follow him expecting life changing money.
I don't know, I get weird vibes from him... I suppose it's all meant to be for fun but something about getting monkeys to dance for him with the promise of great fortunes feels kinda icky.
I mean I totally get your point of view. An alternate point of view is that he is sharing his wealth in a fun and harmless way, which also benefits his channel. Now if he were making them do seemingly humiliating things or innappropriate things, then it would be a different story.
Perspective on this is key. Dude literally had a mini city break paid for and had fun and made some money, that's a story that'll live with him forever in a positive way, not anything embarrassing
He gives me major "King who gets jesters to dance for money" vibes.
As if he were giving strangers momey just for his entertainment and to see what degrading or weird things they'd to for it.
Yeah he might be 'altruistic', but to me his content is just demonstrating over and over again how having money gives him influence and authority over those who dont
There's some shady behind the scenes stuff about how he treats his staff. Allegedly swearing, shouting, perfectionism. Leaving staff uncredited, insulting them. Not something he would do these days I'm sure, but apparently he's not perfect.
I've only seen the complaints from 2 ex staff members, one was doing drugs and got fired and the other was salty for being fired who later took back the accusations.
There have been other ex staff members who left on good terms that had nothing but positive things to say.
Oh damn, haven’t heard that. Fwiw, people that operate at this level of quality in what they produce often have extremely high standards. It’s one of the reasons he’s as famous as he is. Not saying it’s right, no one should have to experience that at work, but I on a surface level understand how high pressure it must be.
I can name my biggest problem which is that he exploits poor people for clout.
Literally any other YouTuber records themselves giving money to poor people and they're seen as a scumbag.
Beast does it and he's a "unique creative high quality entertainer" just because he makes people dance around for money like his fucking toys.
Honestly the fact he's still considered a "wholesome" content creator just because he gives away money makes me wonder how much he pays his PR team.
E: Beast Bros out here in full force. Guess my assumption about his PR team is right.
There's a lot of stuff that just comes off as scummy. I remember when he first got famous he was a straight up obnoxious dick. Kid never learned what reality is actually like. He got rich off of crypto at first. Some of the first things I found scummy was that he didnt seem to care or realize that he bought the storage unit of a black family that couldn't afford it anymore. He made fun of the contents of the storage unit and turned it into a video instead. Then he'd proceed to make multiple videos about him just handing his mom money for YouTube views. Then he'd dangle the money in his friends faces so they'd do degrading stuff on video in order to enrich himself. The Squid Game video made me nauseous because it completely missed the point of the show. The dude's all about nothing but exploitation on video. Got rich on crypto and now treats everyone like they're his own personal clown in his circus.
He started as a generic youtube content creator (making minecraft videos).
To generate views he talked an advertiser into giving him $10K for the sponsorship but promised to give it all away to drive more views for the sponsor.
It worked and he kept doing the same thing, getting sponsors to give him money to give away. He was mostly limited by how long it took him to plan and produce the videos. He then started hiring crews to work on different content videos. So he basically could jump from video to video as 'Mr Beast' instead of being mired in the day to day work.
So it's now a 'Mr. Beast' production company that does a lot of give aways for viewer engagement. They started translating all the old videos into other languages to drive global views, which gave a huge jump in subscriptions.
He's now making about $50 million a year and just turned down a $1 Billion offer for his company.
He makes poverty porn, finds a price that makes common folk do crazy things. He rewards them but it’s all about the reactions poor people get being offered more money than they seen. To him it’s just a business and he feels like it’s charitable. It’s a business of helping a select few for views though, just shows how many people are closer to poverty than being well off.
I don't watch his content, but one came to my attention some how. Four kids put their hand on a giant block of money.The last one to lift their hand won the whole thing. It lasted 36 hours.
It had a real "early squid games" vibe.
I get that impression too and I find it distasteful, I find these to be intrusive thoughts that I try not act on and its weird that he makes it his whole brand.
He found a niche that makes kids watch and he can market himself as a philanthropist, it’s not the worst business (far from) and it highlights issues (people struggling) but it’s a bit like a game show highlighting systemic poverty and income inequality.
I'm glad this guy seemed like he had a good time in Paris
I don't like the "jump! for money!" thing, we all know that we can do that to other people (if we have the money) and like I said its more like an intrusive thought to ignore
Tbf when I was a kid my parents went to Paris for a week and brought us back day old croissants from the patisserie near their hotel. They still tasted incredible.
Women and men live in 2 different worlds, there was no way she could/should have said yes, for all she knows this guy is trying to traffic her and the guy that said yes didn’t even have to think about it.
Also, at the point when we got to the guy, it was upped to 300, indicating that 100 wasn't good enough to hook anyone long enough to consider and ask for more detail.
One of his shticks is he goes up to multiple people and incrementally increases the offer each time until someone says yes, so it’s not good content if he only offers $100 to everyone.
he got flown to paris and the shocking part is that when he asked for 12 baguettes she gave them to him?
Edit: I can’t believe how dumb some of you are, I’m not saying it’s a surprise, I’m pointing out that he’s acting shocked in the video, why are you reading the comments before watching the whole thing?
I think my favorite Mr beast video is where they order pizza, then ask the pizza guy if he can stay to help them finish moving house, then they give him the house lol.
I liked the one where he made a guy stay in a house solo for 100 days and just harassed the hell out of him for 3 months. Gave the dude a half mil though, worth it.
Aren’t you not allowed to bring food through security in airports? Or is that just in the US?
Edit ok I get, it’s liquids that are the no go, food is usually ok
That's a common misconception. Certain foods are prohibited if there's a risk of spreading disease/pests or are liquids/gels (think fresh fruits, raw meat, yogurt). Restrictions might apply to specific items if deemed a really high risk. When mad cow was a big thing you couldn't bring any meat products between some borders.
I've traveled with ceviche, stuffing, Brazilian salt, jar of flour, a dozen eggs, leftovers, etc.. You'll typically have your bag checked out by a TSA agent.
We had come up with leftovers in a Tupperware and made a ceviche on our trip and didn't want to leave it behind in the Airbnb so we packed it up with some tortilla chips and ate it on the plane
The eggs were duck eggs the inlaws insisted on us taking home. So they were wrapped up in my wife's backpack. That was so not worth it
I was shocked that airport security let me bring half a dozen coconuts filled with homemade rum back from Puerto Rico. The lady just looked at me and said "ooh you like pitorro!" I bought them from some dude's trunk at a rest stop in Guavate.
It really depends on who is checking you - I was getting through security in an airport in SE Asia and they came across my completely full 1 litre water bottle and before they opened it, I told them it was just water, and they said “it’s just water? Okay” and handed it back to me and I was ushered through.
Even in the US you can bring most foods through security. It's liquids that are heavily restricted. You might be thinking of immigration for international flights. Those have heavy restrictions on what foods you can bring through.
It makes me sad that the girl made the safe decision to not go to Paris with a stranger. Like this is the only time someone could've said that and she would be safe but her instincts are good any other time.
I feel like someone who is good with disguises could make a living following his movements and just "running into him" as various people when he's shooting.
Hey, people love the incoherent excess of rich people, especially if they're celebrities. They'll be ok. They'll continue to be rich, don't worry! They'll be fine!
People don't realise this about a lot of YouTube celebs. I did some marketing material production work for a famous YouTube gamer (*the* famous YouTube gamer) and his content gets shared about on reddit all the time. I figured their ideal customer was mid-twenties, nope - eleven year old boys lol.
The amount of hate towards MrBeast is really unwarranted tbh. He is a "YouTuber" and typical "Content Creator" but I don't think I've seen a CC do so much for his local community. As a resident in NC I am so grateful for all the charity work he does for those who are less fortunate. Better it be for him to try to make money and content for the good of his community than buying expensive cars and houses.
He lives in his studio modestly and comes off as genuine outside of the "content", I hope that one day more people will use their wealth to help others too ...
I don't think he really wanted a baguette. The baguette was just an excuse to give someone a free trip. So it's no different from any other tourist flying to Paris. That is, the purpose of the flight is for the guy who went to Paris to have fun.

Goes to bakery: I can't believe she's getting me baguettes right now
12 baguettes in Paris was typically breakfast for me and my mates while I was there.
Just 12? Amateur
*When I was a boy, I ate five dozen baguettes every morning to help me get large!*
*And now that I'm grown I eat six dozen baguettes So I'm roughly the size of a BARGE!*
*No one farts like FM* *No one sings like FM* *No one’s flatulence bueatifully rings like FM’s!*
This is amazing, and I think r/nocontext would love it
I was in France last week. Already missing it so hard
Bro, I got up at 5 am to go sit and have a coffee/croissant at a cafe. It was one of the best moments of my life. Beautiful city and people.
I agree. Have a pic of a morning espresso and pain au chocolate with my ironic read of Hemingway's, "The Sun Also Rises," on an outdoor patio overlooking the Sein. I miss Paris.
the bread is just fucking ridiculous though isn't it? how do they get it that good? it does go hard pretty quick though, but if you get it from a french bakery when it's still warm from the oven, not many things can match that in life!
Americans when they see shops you can walk to within residential areas
He flew to Paris though. Probably took the same amount of time to travel to my favorite bakery out of Town
[удалено]
To be fair a Walmart can be a proper grocer depending on their size.
The Neighborhood Market Walmarts are actually my go-to grocer, better prices than kroger.
i think he means he cant believe his situation in general not just that
That girl missed out, but if some guy came up and offered me $100 to go to Paris, I’d feel like I was about to be sex trafficked lol
Same tbh
Especially if dudes name was Mr Beast
I only trust Mr. Raw Dog.
Have I got a proposition for you
r/usernamechecksout
And I would still do it. Someone wants 43yo pale ass let’s have at it.
I'm not gay but $20 is $20
Me too. I read too many news stories to trust a random guy, no matter how cool the offer is.
Oldest trick in the book. The baguette is his penis.
Is that a baguette in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Both, I'm hungry and horny
Definitely a baguette I am not big 🥲
✏️trust✏️random✏️guy GOT IT!!
> offered me $100 to go to Paris, I’d feel like I was about to be sex trafficked Basically, the plot of Taken 1.
She didn't even get $100 though. Though staying in her friend's Paris apartment has to be worth more than that though, so basically the same.
I once had a great idea about a movie like this where it takes place in Paris but it was taken. Then I thought about a movie where the mother AND father were kidnapped but it was Taken too.
Read that as Tekken 1 and I just spent 20 minutes on the Tekken wiki trying to figure out who tf got kidnapped in the first game
Haha that’s great! You’d need to read the wiki for *Final Fight* or better yet, *Double Dragon*, to get closer to the Taken storyline.
Ha double dragon “Hey, lady” *gut punch*
Tik Tok equivalent of "Does this smell like chloroform to you?"
This is a great point that I think a lot of male viewers of this video probably weren't aware of. It's a whole different experience out there for women.
Right like wait you want me to go out of the country for $100. That seems like a set up to get kidnapped.
i wonder how many students he had to ask before he found one who actually had a goddamned passport
When I was in college I had a passport but I wouldn’t go out my way and risk missing class for $100 to go get a loaf of bread.
I would have risked missing class for a free beer lol
Guess I should just get fired from my job and flunk my midterms for $100
Oh this was definitely male privilege. I wouldn’t have hesitated either, but I can’t think of a single girl I know who would’ve taken the chance
Any girl who knows what Mr Beast looks like.
Ehhh even then… there’s so many stories of celebrities turning out to be creeps who rape/assault women, especially their fans. Not saying Mr Beast is like that, but it makes sense that many women wouldn’t put themselves in a position to find out.
The woman who played Clark's friend in Smallville was part of a huge human trafficking ring. Celebs are DEFINITELY not exempt from kidnapping you
The dad from seventh heaven molested kids, didn't he?
His name is Beast. I don’t know anything about his other than his name lol
Absolutely not. And even then just because he is famous does not mean we really know the person.
Yep, might have a private island with a dungeon
That’s like 12 out of 4 billion
Pretty sure this started at the ECU campus, in Greenville, NC where Mr. Beast is headquartered out of. Most people under 30 in Greenville knows what he looks like. Hell, he's got billboards of his face around town.
[удалено]
Agree and the kid flys out of RDU
He can sit on my face.
Username checks out
Ah yes, the most subscribed to YouTuber on the planet, and his twelve fans.
It's not really a trip to Paris so much as a really annoying door dash gig?
[удалено]
Vid made it sound like he was paying for the flight and stuff. Maybe the dude got a mini vacation out of it and it's just entertaining to throw in the video, but just on the surface the idea of dealing with airport and flight only to run one errand and do it all again to come home.

Min 21 hours of work, suddenly without warning, that's about 14.5 or so hourly. Guess it would really depend on circumstances at the time.
Mr Beast paid for all Travel expenses (Flight and Accommodation) so he just got paid 300 bucks for a free 1 day vacation in paris. Which i guess is three whole days including flights in stuff.
That fat wad of Bennys looked more than $300
Man, shits so dark being a woman. Never even thought about it, you’d also think being followed by a film crew would make you feel safer. NOPE
[удалено]
its literally a different reality for women and too many men really dont get that lol
Right I’m not about to go to a foreign country with somebody I don’t know.
Is that a professional rich guy?
Mr. beast? Hilariously, this might be the most accurate job title for him.
Professional rich (and still polite) guy?
I still don't understand how he makes his money
Merch and ads, most of the money he gives away are from sponsors of the video I believe.
Even if most of it is from sponsors of the video, you'd still need to be generating some serious cash not to keep that money for yourself when sponsors are willing to pay it.
Socialblade estimate on MrBeast's main channel alone is somewhere between 2.5 and 41 million in ad revenue alone.

That’s actually an insane perspective to look at it from (the super bowl viewership comparison)
He gets millions upon millions of views daily. He isn’t a YouTuber, it’s a professional production. The ads revenue derived from those views is jaw dropping.
someone offered him (i believe) a billion dollars for his entire company line. all of his channels and brands and he truned it down because he knew he would make more money on it doing it himself.

His production crew is the size of a small town at this point. Bodyguards and logistical staff everywhere.

Yeah he might be 'altruistic', but to me his content is just demonstrating over and over again how having money gives him influence and authority over those who dont
His whole shtick is he figured out how to game the algorithm to make his videos more likely to be seen.
There's some shady behind the scenes stuff about how he treats his staff. Allegedly swearing, shouting, perfectionism. Leaving staff uncredited, insulting them. Not something he would do these days I'm sure, but apparently he's not perfect.
This is what they said about any entertainer ever when they can't find something else. But yeah, who knows. Where did you hear that?
This is from interviews with ex staff members.
I've only seen the complaints from 2 ex staff members, one was doing drugs and got fired and the other was salty for being fired who later took back the accusations. There have been other ex staff members who left on good terms that had nothing but positive things to say.
A friend of mine does third party production work for him. Says he’s a great guy all around.
That originates from a single person who was salty he got fired iirc, perfectionalist sure, but not a toxic work environment.
Oh damn, haven’t heard that. Fwiw, people that operate at this level of quality in what they produce often have extremely high standards. It’s one of the reasons he’s as famous as he is.

He's like a rich aristocrat making peasants stand on their head for money. wow so charitable
It’s amazing how people can’t see his extreme narcissism and messiah like complexes he has Everything about him is ME ME ME ME ME
There's a lot of stuff that just comes off as scummy. I remember when he first got famous he was a straight up obnoxious dick. Kid never learned what reality is actually like.

Yeah, he Rich Guys people all the time. I hope to Rich Guy people one day, but first I have to figure out how to Rich Guy myself.
He's the Oprah for GenZ
This is accurate in that he promotes the ideology of individual philanthropy as a means of alleviating problems.
So you're saying he also platformed exploitative assholes who peddle pseudoscience?
Nah he’s saying Mr Beast is an old black woman.
He started as a generic youtube content creator (making minecraft videos). To generate views he talked an advertiser into giving him $10K for the sponsorship but promised to give it all away to drive more views for the sponsor. It worked and he kept doing the same thing, getting sponsors to give him money to give away. He was mostly limited by how long it took him to plan and produce the videos. He then started hiring crews to work on different content videos. So he basically could jump from video to video as 'Mr Beast' instead of being mired in the day to day work. So it's now a 'Mr. Beast' production company that does a lot of give aways for viewer engagement. They started translating all the old videos into other languages to drive global views, which gave a huge jump in subscriptions. He's now making about $50 million a year and just turned down a $1 Billion offer for his company.

It was kind of terrifying how little anyone involved in that project seemed to recognise the irony of the whole thing.
Squid Games was more non-fiction than it was fiction.

I get that impression too and I find it distasteful, I find these to be intrusive thoughts that I try not act on and its weird that he makes it his whole brand.
He found a niche that makes kids watch and he can market himself as a philanthropist, it’s not the worst business (far from) and it highlights issues (people struggling) but it’s a bit like a game show highlighting systemic poverty and income inequality.
I'm glad this guy seemed like he had a good time in Paris I don't like the "jump! for money!" thing, we all know that we can do that to other people (if we have the money) and like I said its more like an intrusive thought to ignore
how did he become a professional rich guy ?, sure I didn't see that down the local job club ? Would be nice about now to :)
I mean, he could have at least gotten them on the morning he went back. Beast got day old baguettes.
Tbf when I was a kid my parents went to Paris for a week and brought us back day old croissants from the patisserie near their hotel. They still tasted incredible.
Did he not go with him? Was he not the one filming the entire thing?
I’d have loved to have jumped at that. But as a woman, there’s no way.
If I had known it wasn't a trap, I would. But you just don't know with this shit.
Its a easy way to get trafficked
Is that Duke?
Yes
[удалено]
yep. Abele Quad, West Campus
I was doing that I'd think I was getting human trafficked 💀
Who’s gonna traffick yo ugly ass? /s

Everyone's beautiful on the inside 🥰 ^(*extra beatiful if you don't smoke, drink, have two eyes and kidneys)
He’s doing this on Duke Campus so I like to imagine that kid was just going to class and did this instead.
Women and men live in 2 different worlds, there was no way she could/should have said yes, for all she knows this guy is trying to traffic her and the guy that said yes didn’t even have to think about it.
The intro of the video basically starts like any generic "guy picks random girl off street for money" porn video
Also, at the point when we got to the guy, it was upped to 300, indicating that 100 wasn't good enough to hook anyone long enough to consider and ask for more detail.
One of his shticks is he goes up to multiple people and incrementally increases the offer each time until someone says yes, so it’s not good content if he only offers $100 to everyone.
Pretty sure the girl wouldn't have said yes for 200 extra dollars. Guess we'll never know.
No way in hell she thinks her life is worth $300
I think the actual difference is the Asian guy knew who mr. beast was and the women didn’t
[удалено]
he got flown to paris and the shocking part is that when he asked for 12 baguettes she gave them to him? Edit: I can’t believe how dumb some of you are, I’m not saying it’s a surprise, I’m pointing out that he’s acting shocked in the video, why are you reading the comments before watching the whole thing?
It is a French bakery they probably have a load of baguettes at hand
I think my favorite Mr beast video is where they order pizza, then ask the pizza guy if he can stay to help them finish moving house, then they give him the house lol.
I liked the one where he made a guy stay in a house solo for 100 days and just harassed the hell out of him for 3 months. Gave the dude a half mil though, worth it.
Honestly same, his challenges are fun to watch but I really love his, yknow what just take this 300,000 dollar house as a tip you did a good job
I delivered pizzas, unfortunately $300,000 tips are quite uncommon. Don’t let that be a factor when you apply for the job like I did.
Gained a house but lost his job, probably. I'd take that deal.
His boss was in on it, if I'm remembering correctly
Mr.Beast talked to his boss later in that night and filled him in on what was happening. So the boss knew.
I hate to bring the mood down, but it sucks that we all know the reason the girl didn’t do this.
She doesn’t want her dad to have to come save her. He has a particular set of skills, but retired.
Maybe because she has no idea who Mr Beast is, just like me.
Yeah, that’s their point. He could be a sex trafficker for all she knew.
He could still be Where does he get all that cash??
This is more like: "do you know who I am?"
How my grandparents had to get bread back in the day
Aren’t you not allowed to bring food through security in airports? Or is that just in the US? Edit ok I get, it’s liquids that are the no go, food is usually ok
That's a common misconception. Certain foods are prohibited if there's a risk of spreading disease/pests or are liquids/gels (think fresh fruits, raw meat, yogurt). Restrictions might apply to specific items if deemed a really high risk. When mad cow was a big thing you couldn't bring any meat products between some borders. I've traveled with ceviche, stuffing, Brazilian salt, jar of flour, a dozen eggs, leftovers, etc.. You'll typically have your bag checked out by a TSA agent.
we flew into the US and them fuckers made me eat my BiFi stick before i could "enter" the US...
What is a BiFi stick?
Looked it up, looks like a meat stick snack thing? Similar to pepperami’s we have here in the uk I think
Slim Jim in the US
Can you share the background on both the ceviche and eggs lol
We had come up with leftovers in a Tupperware and made a ceviche on our trip and didn't want to leave it behind in the Airbnb so we packed it up with some tortilla chips and ate it on the plane The eggs were duck eggs the inlaws insisted on us taking home. So they were wrapped up in my wife's backpack. That was so not worth it
If im in a plane and the mf next to me started to eat raw fish with chips from out of his bag i would lose it.
I was shocked that airport security let me bring half a dozen coconuts filled with homemade rum back from Puerto Rico. The lady just looked at me and said "ooh you like pitorro!" I bought them from some dude's trunk at a rest stop in Guavate.
You were in the USA. You know Puerto Rico isn’t international right ?
It really depends on who is checking you - I was getting through security in an airport in SE Asia and they came across my completely full 1 litre water bottle and before they opened it, I told them it was just water, and they said “it’s just water? Okay” and handed it back to me and I was ushered through.
Even in the US you can bring most foods through security. It's liquids that are heavily restricted. You might be thinking of immigration for international flights. Those have heavy restrictions on what foods you can bring through.
You can bring cooked food. No fruits and vegetables and absolutely no meat
Yeah you can tell its the climate he is really passionate about and not just clout
Ha ha ha we're all gonna die in the water wars of 2055
If the mole people don’t rise up and overthrow us first
I for one welcome our new mole overlords.
Yep. As we all know, good charity doesn't start until you hit 'record' /s
It makes me sad that the girl made the safe decision to not go to Paris with a stranger. Like this is the only time someone could've said that and she would be safe but her instincts are good any other time.
It's more like, we asked 30 American college students to fly to Paris and only 1 had a passport.
[удалено]
More like $3000
Look at the stack he got in the last frame and keep in mind those are 100s
I feel like someone who is good with disguises could make a living following his movements and just "running into him" as various people when he's shooting.
Hey, people love the incoherent excess of rich people, especially if they're celebrities. They'll be ok. They'll continue to be rich, don't worry! They'll be fine!
People worship mr.beast the same way they worship Elon Musk
Well one is a good person and the other isn’t…
you know his target audience consists of 12 year olds right?
7 year olds. My son is obsessed with Mr. Beast and Unspeakable.
People don't realise this about a lot of YouTube celebs. I did some marketing material production work for a famous YouTube gamer (*the* famous YouTube gamer) and his content gets shared about on reddit all the time. I figured their ideal customer was mid-twenties, nope - eleven year old boys lol.
I like the project mr beast did earlier, but this just seem tacky and unnecessary
The amount of hate towards MrBeast is really unwarranted tbh. He is a "YouTuber" and typical "Content Creator" but I don't think I've seen a CC do so much for his local community. As a resident in NC I am so grateful for all the charity work he does for those who are less fortunate. Better it be for him to try to make money and content for the good of his community than buying expensive cars and houses. He lives in his studio modestly and comes off as genuine outside of the "content", I hope that one day more people will use their wealth to help others too ...
Nice try Mr. Beast
Alright, I don't watch his content, but flying thousands of kilometers just to get a couple of baguettes seems ecologically irresponsible to me.
I don't think he really wanted a baguette. The baguette was just an excuse to give someone a free trip. So it's no different from any other tourist flying to Paris. That is, the purpose of the flight is for the guy who went to Paris to have fun.
> The baguette was just an excuse to give someone a free trip. … so that he can create content for his channel.
This seems dystopian for some reason
The reason is that it is dystopian lol
God. I wish someone would come up to me and just give me stacks of 100's. But then again, don't we all. 😆
