As somebody who has never heard of this product and is not at all the target audience, I am now very well informed on Lunchly. Thank you Mike.
Same
same! :D
as the parent of a kid who is not allowed to watch youtube and somehow is still obsessed with prime (hydration, mercifully, not energy), i am dreading the day my kid comes home asking me to start packing a lunchly for him.
Finally a non biased person I can trust! Thanks Mike 🙏
Actually tho
@@nathanchetram487Ackchyually
Yeah I mean you don’t need any doctor to tell you logan is a bad human. He has scammed so many people without any remorse. Mr.beast well just go watch dogpark videos
@@Dizcreti True but Mr. Beast is in hot water as well. Unfortunately no matter what a influencer dose they never get the justice they deserve so they never learn. O no i lost a few thousand followers I know I'll stage a boxing. Mach against another youtuber and make it staged.
everybody has their own biases. Dr Mike is just very transparent and offers great explanation of his reasoning
You know it’s a good day when Mike drops
Yes! I've had a really bad day today and seeing Doc post makes it all better
Just made my day better
ikr

I remember in elementary school being jealous of other kids with lunchables not realizing how good I had it with my mom making my lunches with real food. Thanks, Mom!
Yoooo, facts!!
Yeah, funny enough when i was in elementary school i had lunchables. But a few years later i saw on how unhealthy they were, and also how much lead is contained within them, however, i took action into my own hands and learn to just make breakfast and lunch myself.
Same
Lets all thank our moms rq
That kid was probably neglected by his parents, no time to show some love with cooked food.
Yes, indeed U were the lucky one in the scenerio.
If I see a kid with processed food instead of a home cook lunch in a box, I would Pity that kiddo
I love that when Paul compares Lunchly to Lunchables, he literally and unironically uses the Idiocracy line: "It has electrolytes!" 😂
The "has electrolytes" slogan gives me Idiocracy movie vibes instantly :D
ITS WHAT PLA... CHILDREN CRAVE
As its director said: "it was not supposed to be a prophecy"
"Just give them water. What like from the toilet?"
@@crashtestdummy1972 it's pronounced "terlet"
@@dietotaku haha
Thank you mike for being non biased so that i can trust you
I'm not sure anyone is attacking them for "trying to create a successful influencer product." They're being rightfully attacked for aggressively marketing a product to children that is not in any way good for children. It's sugar, sodium, and fat (and possibly also lead which has been found in Prime before) in colorful packaging. If we can rip into cereal brands for marketing sugar bombs to kids, there is no reason we should not be allowed to rip into these three equally guilty people.
Yeah, that and Prime has already had like two or three recalls for lead being in the product.
@@dani_mango plumbum, my old friend. we meet again
@@dani_mangolead was never in the product, it was in the bottles
to be fair its just not a perfect time to launch this collab with all thats been going on with Logan and KSI and MrBeast
Right and on top of that with all the drama and them attacking Dantdm, they've set themselves up for criticism
As a Norwegian, the whole concept of a company stating their product is better than a named brand from another company is mind boggling (it’s illegal here).
Wow, how does Pepsi advertise in your country?
@@B.-T. I can't recall Pepsi ever directly calling it Coca-Cola and I'm in the UK...
If company can back it up their claims, why would it be wrong to say? I wonder.
@@B.-T. Just showing their logo is enough it seems. Pepsi Max became super popular here for some reason, and is now the top selling soft drink brand.
@@MrAdeelAH really? Around here (Canada and USA) about 95% of Pepsi's advertising approach involves very direct comparisons to Coca-Cola.
If KSI, Mr. Beast and Logan Paul are making a product that should be a clear indicator as to stay very far away from said product.
Anything Logan and Jake Paul make should be avoided
Hopefully people are staying away, because I see Prime at the Dollar Tree, and even for $1.25 it's still not worth it. It's not worth free, actually. But I bet Dollar Tree bought all the unsold bottles from bigger grocery stores, because they couldn't sell it. Just a guess.
Me judging Lunchly while I sit here munching on my pathetic Uncrustables sandwich.
Uncrustables is still more worthy of a purchase than Lunchly, lets be honest here
That's a killer trio of influencers.
Literally 💀
Literally 💀
Literally 💀
They really killed it😅.
add ishowspeed and andrew tate into there and you would have the avengers of killer influencers.
When I heard about Lunchables for the first time (I'm from Germany) I was so shocked that this is considered to be a lunch for children. It doesn't even look appetizing at all and I can't imagine that it can give you any energy for a school day. Additionally, children learn that this is "food" instead of learning about a healthy diet. No surprise that the obesity rates are rising whenn people eat this from early on.
To play devil's advocate - healthy food is expensive, so I grew up *having* to eat unhealthy food, and not all schools have free lunches for children. The problem isn't just that Lunchables exist, but that lots of people cannot afford a lot of healthy food (especially specific categories, like fruits and vegetables).
I’ve tried it a couple of times. It certainly can’t qualify as lunch in any way. It feels more like a snack (tastes like it too). I thought it tasted fine at the time, but never really wanted more.
@@mfn1311 i used it as a snack when i went on a hike once
Obesity reates are rising in Germany, too, and a lot of children here grow up with oh so healthy and nutritcious nutella for breakfast, promoted by our national soccer team. Lets not kid ourselves into thinking the reasons for the health crisis in western countries are so simple.
@@Krauseminze So true!
“Brawndo’s got what plants crave. It’s got electrolytes” haha😂
Can you imagine McDonalds rebranding their food as "Electolyte burgers with Electrolyte fries" 💀
Can’t wait for Logan to respond angrily to this, it’s so funny to watch. Keep it up Mike! :)
Nah bro will just sue him for "defamation "
That’s because he’s not about anything but getting more views and getting more rich.
Someone without bias and just tells us facts. Thank you Doctor Mike!
I understand why you'd think the criticisms leveled at these creators for trying to create a successful product are unfair, but I think the key is the actual influencers involved. With Mr. Beast already in the spotlight for marketing lotteries at kids and hiring convicted child sex criminals, and Logan already in the spotlight for scamming his (mostly child) fans and using litigation to cover it up, I think the concern people have is the attitude/care these people ACTUALLY have for their child fanbase.
💯
they try to have a nice public image but behind the scenes or swept under the rug you can see they are all about the money and clout
Logan is such a POS that giving him the benefit of the doubt is beyond silly. They know they're lying and they keep doing it to scam their audience over and over
@@werdwerdus Not sure that's completely accurate.
Like, Jimmy's got a TON of stuff going on.
To be honest, I think he's got too much going on.
Between the UA-cam content and the businesses the dude is probably stretched to the point where he literally cannot quality control much of anything.
Paul's got his own issues that don't stem from such overstretching, but I think Jimmy would be better off if he just toned his ambition down a bit.
I love that doctors are commenting on the facts an not opinions. My grandma is a doctor an we never did lunchables
I'm very glad that we didn't
"I cant believe these UA-camrs would sell unhealthy, sugar-filled junk to children!"
Every cereal company:😶
Well people attack cereals too and i don't see brands stating that thier cereal is healthier than the others to bait children and uneducated parents into buying them thinking it's healthy
Fr 😭 tbf at least they don't market it as "healthy"
@@rubrttyeah that’s literally the only reason there getting criticized because they said it was healthy
@@Dizcreti that's what im saying 😭
I do think a problem is with legitimate, healthy, cereals. A lot of kids don’t wanna eat them.
I think Dr.Mike has a good point, we cant critize Lunchables when a big part of the industry dont respect the healthy basis requirements for kid's meals
They're not the reason the problem exists but they want to become a huge reason why it will continue. They clearly only care about money but they're acting like they care about kid's health.
At the end of the day they only care about what you give them in return not about the customer at all
The explanation we all needed! Thanks, Doc Mike !!
Love when both doctors I trust (Dr. Brian and Dr. Mike) talk about the same problem.
Thank you for keeping our kiddos happy and healthy, too!! 🙌🏼
So glad you made a vid about this! Thank you Dr Mike!!
One major issue I don’t see being brought up enough is that due to the involvement of these popular influencers, kids who had never eaten lunchables will beg their parents to have lunchly like their peers. So many kids who would not regularly have Gatorade or hersheys would line up for prime or feastables just to be cool in front of their peers. Influencers are very powerful on young minds (I know so for myself; remember fidget spinners?)
So true! Worst part you’re giving even more money to a scummy person like logan Paul. Mr.beast has some allegations too
The adults can just say no.
Them failing to do so is THEIR failure.
This video should be on UA-cam Trending
Ever the dependable GP and lovable family doctor, thanks for the unbiased information Dr Mike.
Trustworthy as always.
AGHHH CANT WAIT TO WATCH THIS JUST GOTTA FINISH MY BLUEY EPISODE
Most real comment lol, Im watching Gravity Falls while typing.
@@BradExistsbest show ever!
Lol I feel that
I paused Forrest Gump for this
Real
The shade LOL MID ??? omgg i cant. This is so funny. Thank you mike for your take on this ❤️
DOCTOR MIKE IS GETTING INVOLVED
Doc is so cool
Lets face it. The product's target consumers are young kids who are their fans. Healthy, tasty, or not, kids will buy these up, and the three know this. Its just another revenue to them.
"Our poison is slightly better than their poison. Oh, and ours has electrolytes too!"
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS OMG
In prime there is also caffeine and i thinks parents now dont realize how dangerous that can be for young children i even have family members that wanted to give my niece coffee when she was a newborn
no prime hydration doesn't have caffeine
@@ivydiordior AI Overview
…
Yes, Prime Energy contains caffeine:
Caffeine content
A 12-ounce can of Prime Energy contains 200 milligrams of caffeine. This is about six times the amount of caffeine in a similar can of Coca-Cola.
It's all about money. It's funny that even The Apprentice UK a show all about making money, when they do food products aimed at children, they have to be healthy. MrBeast has sunk lower than that.
Thanks for comparing to USDA standards and pointing out the caloric deficiency, that was more helpful to me than looking at the relatively small nutritional differences between lunchables and lunchly
I actually respect this take. No side. No attacks but facts. And I fully agree with meeting the national minimum as a standard. I think they’ve tried to be better but obviously costs are a factor and they are starting out everyone has a learning curve. Fair play. Appreciate DrMike
Thanks, Dr. Mike!
Lunchly tastes so much worse. I hope they get sued by Lunchables for all the false advertising aimed at them. Don't forget Lunchly is TWICE the price.
Thank You Dr. Mike
ممنونم از ویدیوهای آموزنده و مفید شما دکتر مایک🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤
Holy guacamole, wtf is happening to the USA? When did they start to get SO MUCH like the movie Idiocracy, down to the "it's got electrolytes" stuff?
Wow this blew up, thanks for the unbiased informed input Dr.Mike!
Was waiting for your response to this drama
I’ve seen Lunchables before, and now I’m seeing this huge Lunchly controversy. I’m glad that you, Mike, are non-biased and simply speaking about the facts. Honestly, I hate the ideas of both Lunchables and Lunchly. Both are significantly unhealthy, but just in different ways. They still may be healthier than school lunches (I watched Super Size Me and I’m pretty sure they mentioned school lunches being even more unhealthy than fast food), but they’re still not ideal. Especially not all the time. If someone’s going to make a product like this, they need to put things that are actually healthy into that product. Thanks for the information, Mike!
I’m am a kid and I don’t even think that it is even a little appetizing.
TLDR; Theyre nutritionally about the same. Lumchly not healthy enough to be the "healthy alternative"
The fact that they made a product isnt the problem. It's the product itself and how theyre marketing it.
Hi mike
ACTUAL first person
Thanks for clarifying what you could and educating us on all of this. Respect to you for not getting lost in the drama.
ADEK are fat-soluble vitamins, for those curious.
ACE is antioxidants.
B and C are water-soluble. 🙂
Dang this is the 3rd UA-cam video I’ve seen today about lunchly vs lunchables. All of them happened to have pretty much the same opinion too lol
Cancerous food vs even more cancerous food.
Air is cancerous too.
Mike, we're attacking them for being: Scammers, unlawful people.
It's so refreshing to see a doctor's view on this topic. Thanks Mike.
I like to refer to these snacks as "Charcuterie Boards for children"
What kind of multiverse are we living in right now
I love these types of vids from you, thanks a lot!
Side note: If you're going to make a product, don't attack people who bring up legitimate concerns about your product (see Amy's backing company)
I was waiting for this one!
0:59 I honestly thought my cat was throwing up for a second when I heard the sound effects 😂
They are selling out. Ouch.
They've always been sellouts.
Basically these things are giving kids high doses of caffeine which is making them go absolutely bonkers. Lunchly in a nutshell explained
never thought doctor mike would release a $2,500 course 😭
But, knowing him, it's probably a great course.
Good luck Mike!
I still can’t believe they collabed together-
another thing... its TWICE the price!
Wow, Lunchly cannot meet the USDA standard no matter how kids consume them.
Most parents look at the price, not standards.
Well it's one way of getting rid of the prime bottle that aren't selling
It's also why Feastables are there.
Under 300 calories for a kid fresh off the monkey bars is ridiculously low
Love the balanced, impartial analysis!
This video opens my mind about this now, thank you ❤
Litterally I looked up lunchly nutrition facts and was baffled. I was also wondering why there calories were so low as if they wanted to put kids on a diet.
Having never heard of Lunchly, I thought it was gonna be significantly worse just because Logan Paul exists in the trio. Somewhat surprised it's just comparable rather than being total trash.
I grew up eating Lunchables and all sorts of gross (but delicious) 90s/2000s kids foods. I was malnourished and didn't start to understand how to eat actually healthy food until my 20s. Then I gained weight and almost completely stopped being hypoglycemic. Turns out I wasn't "lucky to be skinny," I was basically starving my body of the important things it needs to function properly. And then my sister turns around and is feeding her kids pretty much only Lunchables at school everyday. 🥴
Adults especially parents teaching to children the bad habits they learned in their childhood can be a vicious cycle.
Yeah, it definitely missed the mark here. Kids idolize Mr. Beast and it would be awesome if he created something that could meet USDA requirements so healthy, whole foods can be popular. I know Uncrustables actually has partnered with schools to make a bigger, whole grain, healthier version of their product for schools, and it’s a great thing for picky kids.
A concern most people have with this meal is the low amount of *calories*, sure it may be lower but at the same time that means it won't fill the stomach, no?
Bravo! Thank you for this
The problem is not necessarily that they are making unhealthy food. The problem is that they are marketing it to kids
One time I ate a turkey cracker cheese lunchable and I had heat burn for the next hour... DO NOT EAT THAT STUFF MAN
The "but it's full of electrolytes" remind me of the Brando from Idiocracy.
reacting to criticism by calling your critics "idiots" is not good PR or marketing
Respect for the video man, finally an unbiased view I can get fully behind.
Prime Energy has 200mg of caffeine. More than a cup of coffee. Would you give your kids coffee?? Can become problematic.
Plot twist: Doctor Mike creates school lunch alternative
THANK U DR.MIKE
We are getting closer to Idiocracy.
Dr. Mike I'm surprised, you don't usually post videos on Monday. Usually on Wednesday and Sunday. Not mad, to clarify. Just surprised.😂😂😂
Wait so these kits contain meat and cheese but are not supposed to be refrigerated???
Hi doctor Mike!
The unholy trinity of people ruining childrens lives. First they went for their mental health with their garbage content and now they're going for their health by marketing something that isn't healthy to children and pretending as if it is.
Logan Paul did worse bro is actually a criminal💀he created crypto scams ran with millions
First normal reaction I saw on this topic👏🏽
Time for our appointment with Dr. Mike!
Dr. Mike, words simply cannot express how much I love you. There are not enough words in the world to express my feelings for you, so I will just say: I love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It is super irritating to me how the internet just attacks people because a mob is, rather than doing this and actually looking at things logically. I had to get into my 17 year old for all the rage bait regarding this stuff that he's been consuming as "fact" on UA-cam. I told him even eye witness testimony is not truly factual.
Always makes me excited when I see a doctor Mike notification! 😁
this was a really really well made video, thanks for your words!
Would be a boss move if someone actually made a healthy lunch kit
An egomaniac, a cryptoscammer and a war criminal walk into a marketing meeting…..
like what were they expecting
You tell em doc.
So what wrong with normal sandwiches for lunch? Why push on the kids processed food?
