The Article sould metion Jim Murray as CEO

I was watching a Video on "The Nearly Impossible Job of Managing MrBeast" and they say that Jim Murray is CEO of the Feastables Company. I could also confirm it through this Insider Article [[https://www.businessinsider.com/how-youtuber-mrbeast-feastables-uses-giveaways-data-to-sell-chocolate-2022-5?op=1][Https://www.businessinsider.com/how-youtuber-mrbeast-feastables-uses-giveaways-data-to-sell-chocolate-2022-5?op=1 https://www.businessinsider.com/how-youtuber-mrbeast-feastables-uses-giveaways-data-to-sell-chocolate-2022-5?op=1]].

Maybe somebody wants to add that to the article :) 2003:DA:A728:865A:70B6:E451:9496:1CA5 (talk) 21:45, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestion. I have added a mention to the History section and the infobox. Yeeno (talk) 03:07, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

"World's Best Chocolate" advertising

Sometimes, on the rare store trip, (i.e when I go to 7-Eleven) I see the Feastables chocolates. They're in a box that says "World's Best Chocolate" on it. Maybe find some way to fit this into the article? The Master of Hedgehogs ^{(converse) (hedgehogs)} 21:32, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Just clarifying: At stores, there's the occasional box full of Feastables bars that you can take out and put in your wagon. On the box, there is the Feastables logo, the flavor, such as, for example, Milk Chocolate, and some text that says "World's Best Chocolate" on it.

Gallery

Why is that here? Shouldn't it be removed? Norbillian (talk) 17:23, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Concerns Regarding Promotional Content and Gallery

This article has been tagged as containing promotional content, and I believe this concern is valid. Several aspects of the article contribute to this impression:

• Promotional Tone in History: The detailed recounting of launch dates, market expansions, and partnerships, while factual, reads somewhat like a press release, focusing heavily on positive developments without significant critical analysis.
• Excessive Gallery: The inclusion of a gallery showcasing various product packaging, logos, and even a branded van seems unnecessary for an encyclopedic entry about the company. Most similar articles for food products or companies do not feature such extensive image galleries. This visual emphasis on branding contributes to the promotional feel.
• Lack of Critical Perspective: As noted in a separate point below, the absence of a "Criticism/Reception" section leaves the article without a balanced perspective on the company's marketing practices and any potential controversies.

I propose that the gallery section be removed to align with the standards of similar Wikipedia articles. Additionally, the "History" section could be revised to adopt a more neutral and less celebratory tone, focusing on factual milestones rather than promotional announcements. The addition of a "Criticism/Reception" section, as suggested below, would further contribute to the article's neutrality.

Thank you for your consideration. Miiversal (talk) 17:55, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

Gambling and Aggressive Marketing Concerns - Need for "Criticism/Reception" Section

I have significant concerns regarding the marketing tactics employed by Feastables that are not currently addressed in the article. These include:

• Sketchy Marketing Claims: The company has made claims that their products are "infinitely healthier" than competitors like Hershey's, which appear to be exaggerated and potentially misleading. Such aggressive marketing tactics should be noted and examined for factual accuracy.
• Promotion of Gambling Towards Children: Feastables' marketing often incorporates sweepstakes and prize-based promotions that can be seen as a form of gambling, potentially targeting a younger demographic due to MrBeast's primary audience. This raises ethical concerns that should be acknowledged.
• Use of Behavioral Psychology: It's worth exploring whether Feastables' marketing strategies utilize principles of behavioral psychology to drive consumption, and if this has been a subject of discussion or criticism.

Without a dedicated "Criticism/Reception" section, the current article lacks a balanced perspective and reads like an advertisement for the brand. It is crucial to include information about these marketing practices and any public or critical reception they have received to ensure the article's neutrality and provide a comprehensive overview of Feastables.

I believe adding a section addressing these points is essential for the article to meet Wikipedia's standards for neutrality and completeness. Miiversal (talk) 17:56, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
