DanTDM Calls Out KSI, Logan Paul, and MrBeast Over Lunchly Snak – Here’s What Happened

YouTube drama never ends, and this one is a must-watch. DanTDM just dove straight into a Twitter storm, going head-to-head with some of the platform’s biggest names, KSI, Logan Paul, and MrBeast. And let’s just say, Dan came ready to cook. 

So, what’s the fuss about? Dan took a stand against the unhealthy snack, Lunchly, which the trio has been promoting to kids. He didn’t hold back and let them have it on Twitter, sparking a huge debate online. 

This drama is just getting started, so buckle up and keep reading to find out how Dan went up against these giants, and why everyone is siding with him.

DanTDM Takes a Stand

DanTDM has always been one of YouTube’s good guys, but even he has his limits. Despite his massive success, he’s not quite on the same financial level as KSI, Logan Paul, or MrBeast, who are worth billions combined. 

KSI and Logan’s Prime energy drink business is valued at over $3 billion, and MrBeast himself boasts a net worth exceeding $700 million. But Dan has something those numbers can’t buy: trust.

Usually, Dan stays out of drama, but this time, he just couldn’t stay quiet.

 KSI, Logan, and MrBeast were promoting Lunchly, a snack marketed to kids as a “healthy” alternative to Lunchables. But Dan saw through it, realizing the product was still packed with unhealthy ingredients, and it was all about making money.

As a father of two, Dan felt a responsibility to speak out, not just for his own kids but for his young fans who trust him. He took to Twitter, dropping a bombshell tweet

It wasn’t just a tweet. It was a public call-out. Dan knew it would stir things up, but he cared more about protecting kids than staying out of the drama. And boy, did it stir things up.

What’s Really in Lunchly?

Lunchly was launched as a competitor to Lunchables, which has faced criticism for being unhealthy. KSI, Logan Paul, and MrBeast marketed Lunchly as a better option. 

But when you look closer, it’s not all that great. Sure, Lunchly might have slightly less sugar and sodium than Lunchables, and they use “real cheese,” but experts say it still misses the mark for what’s considered healthy.

Lunchly meals provide fewer calories than recommended for kids, which raises concerns. Are kids going to eat enough, or are they going to load up on more sodium and snacks afterward? 

Plus, the marketing for Lunchly tries to rebrand sodium as “essential electrolytes,” which confuses the real health risks. Both Lunchly and Lunchables are ultra-processed foods, which are linked to issues like obesity and even cancer.

At the end of the day, Lunchly’s “healthier” image seemed more like a slick marketing move than an actual improvement for kids’ nutrition.

KSI and Logan Paul FireBack

Dan’s tweet sent shockwaves through the YouTube world, but  Logan Paul didn’t let it slide. Known for his fiery attitude,  Logan Paul responded almost immediately, accusing Dan of being jealous and out of touch with what YouTubers are trying to accomplish

“I’ll tell you what happened to YouTubers. We spent our lives creating content and building our brands. Now we want to build businesses. You don’t say anything when Lunchables faces bans for allegedly containing lead, but when we create a better version, you’re upset? Then don’t eat it.”

It didn’t stop there. KSI doubled down, clearly irritated that Dan had dared to criticize him, Logan, and MrBeast. He framed Lunchly as a business move that was better for kids compared to other snacks on the market. He was basically saying,

 “Some dumbass youtuber said this exact same thing to me the other day. Rather than complaining, crying and trying to cancel a youtuber for creating a product, here’s an idea…If you don’t want/like a product, just don’t buy it. Simple.”

Logan Paul also jumped into the fray, but instead of taking the high road, he went for a more dismissive, mocking approach. Logan laughed off Dan’s concerns, tweeting that Dan was overreacting and being “petty.”

“Bro, seriously? This is a win for kids. Why are you crying about it?”

Logan’s replies were full of sarcasm, trying to downplay Dan’s concerns by acting like they weren’t important.

Fans Rally Behind DanTDM

But KSI and Logan’s clapbacks didn’t go the way they thought they would. Almost immediately, the YouTube community started siding with Dan. 

Fans began roasting KSI and Logan for their defensive reactions, saying they were missing the point. Twitter lit up with comments like “Beefing with DanTDM is crazy,” and “You thought you cooked with this 💀.”

As the backlash grew, fans called out KSI and Logan for dodging the real issue, Lunchly’s health risks. One tweet went viral, dragging KSI by saying, “You’re 45 years old, can’t smile in photos, wear a bandana to hide your hairline, and use your platform to sell junk food to kids, you absolute whopper.”

It didn’t help that KSI tried to bring up an old sponsorship Dan had done nine years ago for a candy brand, as if that made Dan’s concerns less valid. 

But this only made things worse for KSI. Fans quickly pointed out that Dan’s sponsorship was ancient history, and that didn’t change the fact that Lunchly was being marketed to kids right now. 

DanTDM’s Integrity Shines Through

What could have turned into a tough situation for Dan ended up being a huge win. People respected him for standing up for what he believed in, especially as a father of two. 

He didn’t get dragged into petty arguments or try to out-shout KSI and Logan, he just let the truth speak for itself.

His fanbase grew even stronger. Many people pointed out that Dan had always stayed away from drama, and the fact that he was willing to speak up now showed how much he truly cared about his young audience.

Fans and other YouTubers alike rallied behind him, seeing him as someone who put people’s health and well-being above profit.

Meanwhile, KSI, Logan, and MrBeast faced more scrutiny. The more they tried to brush off the issue or attack Dan, the worse they looked. 

KSI’s comments about Dan’s old candy sponsorship only highlighted how out of touch they were with the real conversation.

The Drama Isn’t Over

Despite the growing backlash, KSI and Logan didn’t back down. Instead, they kept trying to steer the conversation away from the real problem, focusing on Dan’s past rather than addressing the concerns about Lunchly. 

But no matter how hard they tried, the internet wasn’t letting them off the hook.

Fans continued to question why these massive influencers, with billions on the line, were selling snacks to kids that still weren’t healthy. People saw right through their attempts to dodge the issue, and it only fueled the criticism even more.

On the flip side, Dan’s decision to speak out had a ripple effect. It sparked a larger conversation about the responsibility influencers have, especially when their audience includes kids. 

He set an example for how YouTubers should use their platforms for more than just making money, by prioritizing integrity and standing up for what’s right.

This drama might not be over, but one thing is for sure: DanTDM walked away from this with his head held high. 

He’s proven that even when facing some of the biggest names in the industry, integrity and responsibility still matter, and the internet has his back.
