A tornado-chasing influencer gets trapped… inside a tornado

Tanner Charles faced a Category F3 tornado in Illinois. That is, between 230 and 250 kilometers per hour, capable of uprooting trees

Everyone can have the hobby they want, of course. The problem arises when your hobby isn’t collecting stamps from Nigeria or leveling up your Pokémon, but chasing tornadoes and storms, trying to record them as best as possible. It’s a risky job for meteorologists, and certainly not a hobby anyone in their right mind would choose for their weekend plans. But perhaps YouTuber Tanner Charles isn’t in his right mind.

Trapped in a hurricane

Have you seen ‘Twister’? Well, it’s a bit like that, but without Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, or special effects. The YouTuber, armed with cameras, microphones, and a jeep, used to film different hurricanes and tornadoes, the kind that occur in the United States and seem like pure science fiction in other countries. The storm chasers in Cáceres must be extremely bored, I suppose.

The thing is, Tanner Charles faced an F3 category tornado in Illinois. That means winds between 230 and 250 kilometers per hour, capable of uprooting trees and ripping off roofs as if they were made of butter. Quite an exciting plan, right? So there he went with his team to capture some great footage for his 150,000 viewers, not expecting that this time he would get too close and end up being swallowed by the disaster.

The video, basically, is a nightmare: a lot of wind, rain, mud, disaster, and people saying “Please, let it end already, please.” They have 14 years of experience chasing tornadoes; they could have anticipated that this would happen sooner or later. The video, after which they miraculously survived, has accumulated less than 100,000 views, while the tweet with a clip that was later taken down due to copyright issues had been seen by 15 million people in two days. Quite something.

“I’m sorry, but what did they expect would happen?” read the viral tweet that, for once, was absolutely right. They survived, but maybe they will think twice before venturing out to chase tornadoes again as if nothing happened.

MrBeast’s Burger Empire Faces $100 Million Loss Amidst Ongoing Controversy

Just a week after the first lawsuit, they launched a counter-suit claiming that he has taken advantage of them and is using the fame to get more favorable treatment.

Imagine that you become an overnight successful YouTuber, and you receive thousands of potential contracts. Among all of them, you decide to sign and accept one that promises to release burgers with your name and open a franchise that will make money to bury several people. All good? Now imagine that the monkey’s paw curls a finger: the burgers become a hit, but they are terrible… and on top of that, their actual creators sue you.

Mr Beast

To summarize the story so far: MrBeast, one of the world’s most followed (and wealthy) YouTubers, teamed up with a company called Virtual Dining Concepts to launch various burger establishments worldwide under the name MrBeast Burgers. The issue arose when the food turned out to be awful (if not inedible), prompting the YouTuber to sue the company, seeking to terminate the contract due to their disregard for product quality.

The plot took a new twist when Virtual Dining Concepts responded, suggesting that fame doesn’t grant the ability to break contracts. The burger locations have thrived across America for two and a half years, and just one week after the initial lawsuit, the company launched a countersuit, alleging that MrBeast had exploited them and leveraged his fame to secure a more favorable deal.

In one of the tweets included in the lawsuit (because we are in that period of the story), MrBeast stated, “If I had the chance to shut it down, I would have done it a long time ago. Sometimes when you’re young, you sign shitty deals,” thereby disrespecting and insulting their quality while they still had an ongoing agreement. Furthermore, an agreement that was set to last until 2024, but MrBeast unilaterally extended indefinitely in 2022. It doesn’t sound good, truth be told.

MrBeast Burgers contends that MrBeast’s tweets, along with his team taking control of the restaurant’s social media accounts, have damaged the company’s reputation, resulted in the loss of customers, and in general, caused them a financial loss in the nine-figure range. That’s a minimum of $100 million, which is the kind of money you might withdraw from an ATM to buy some bread. By the way, without examining the contract, it’s impossible to determine who is in the right. Maybe both parties have valid points. Maybe neither of them. What’s clear for now is that we’ll be avoiding these burgers, just to be safe. You never know.

Mr Beast’s Unprecedented Move: YouTube Star Files Suit Against His Own Inedible Burgers!

He should add a new test to his somewhat stomachic follies: surviving by eating at one of his fast food chains.

Surely at one time or another you’ve come across a video of Mr. Beast, the youtuber who cures blind people’s eyesight, gives money to the poor and gives away cars in exchange for doing very specific tests, in the style of ‘Dance, dance, damn you’. Stay a long time in a very small circle, survive the tests of ‘The Squid Game’… And, apparently, he should add a new test to his somewhat stomach-churning madness: survive by eating at one of his fast food chains.

Mr Puagh

It is common for successful content creators to launch their own restaurants. Luisito Comunica, for example, even has one in Spain (Fasfú) and Mr. Beast has a truly global fast food chain with more than 1,000 establishments, 600 of them in the United States. That is nothing. It sells well, its 137 million followers are a captive audience and the food is ric… Well. Not exactly

On December 19, 2020, MrBeast Burger opened its first location in North Carolina and hasn’t stopped expanding. To do so, the youtuber teamed up with the company Virtual Dining Concept to create a menu that was up to the task and, after all, his name. The problem is that for some time now the quality, which was already not very high, has dropped even further.

There are, for example, those who have received only a piece of raw meat between buns and on the Internet they qualify the burgers with adjectives such as “disgusting”, “disgusting” or “inedible”. Of course, the McDonald’s brothers could care less about what people say about them now (they passed away years ago), but Mr. Beast is literally suffering the consequences. That’s why he has decided to sue Virtual Dining Concept. Mr. Beast vs. Mr. Beast’s hamburgers: watch out, Ibai, here’s a fight for the Evening of the Year.

As the trial begins to unfold, Virtual Dining Concept has used the influencer’s example to trick other brands into offering their own low-end restaurant chains. So far Mariah Carey or NASCAR have bitten, and they look like the first of many. Hopefully the movie of this trial very, very soon.
