  • Some users expressed disapproval that the giveaway appeared to act as promotion for his brand.

MrBeast gave a waitress a car in his most recent TikTok video, but some viewers expressed disapproval that the "act of kindness" appeared to double as a commercial for the YouTuber's chocolate brand.

In a TikTok posted March 27, MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, appeared to be sitting at a restaurant speaking to his server, who was called Amy according to a caption on the post.

"What's the biggest tip you've ever gotten?" Donaldson asked, with Amy replying by saying it was around $50.

"Has anyone ever tipped a car?" Donaldson asked, handing her a set of keys.

The server questioned whether Donaldson was being serious, at which point he took her outside and showed her a black Toyota that he said was her "brand new car." A sticker on the side of the car had the word "Feastables" written on it, the name of the YouTuber's own line of chocolate products. The logo for Donaldson's main YouTube channel also appeared on the car's hood.

The server appeared to tear up and put her hand over her face in the clip. "Oh wow, I wasn't expecting you to cry," Donaldson said in response.

"I was literally late to work today because the Uber was slow," Amy said, as she got into the vehicle with Donaldson.

"Enjoy the car," Donaldson said as the 42-second clip ended.

The clip received 50 million views on TikTok, becoming Donaldson's most popular TikTok post in the month of March. In a comment made from his account on the post, the creator said that if fans bought more of his Feastables products, he would be giving away more cars on social media.
