Chocolate bars launched by the world\u2019s most watched individual, YouTube star MrBeast, are being tipped as the next must-have product for children.<\/p>\n
The range of four Feastables bars \u2013Crunch, Deez Nutz, Milk Chocolate and Original Chocolate \u2013 are predicted to become \u201cthe next Prime\u201d by retail experts.<\/p>\n
Prime drinks, launched by YouTube influencers KSI and Logan Paul, became so popular earlier this year that young people queued for hours outside shops waiting for stock to be delivered.<\/p>\n
Bottles of the seven flavours of the hydration drink, which has a coconut-water base and recommended price of \u00a32 a bottle, were being resold online for up to \u00a320.<\/p>\n
This has prompted Asda to sign a UK distribution deal with MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, to sell the four flavours of his 60g chocolate bars, with a recommended price of \u00a32 each, at more than 400 of its stores.<\/p>\n
