The issue arose when the food turned out to be awful (if not inedible), prompting <strong>the YouTuber to sue the company, seeking to terminate the contract<\/strong> due to their disregard for product quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plot took a new twist when Virtual Dining Concepts responded, suggesting that fame doesn&#8217;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 <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/google-chrome-incognito-mode-could-cost-google-a-fine-5-billion-dollars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">countersuit<\/a>, alleging that MrBeast had exploited them and <strong>leveraged his fame to secure a more favorable deal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/mrbeast-800x450-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-243764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/mrbeast-800x450-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/mrbeast-800x450-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/mrbeast-800x450-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/mrbeast-800x450-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/mrbeast-800x450-1-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/mrbeast-800x450-1-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/mrbeast-800x450-1-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/mrbeast-800x450-1-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/mrbeast-800x450-1-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/mrbeast-800x450-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/mrbeast-800x450-1-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/mrbeast-800x450-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/mrbeast-800x450-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/when-elon-musk-decided-to-threate-an-ngo-that-investigated-twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tweets<\/a> included in the lawsuit (because we are in that period of the story), MrBeast stated, &#8220;If I had the chance to shut it down, I would have done it a long time ago. Sometimes when you&#8217;re young, you sign shitty deals,&#8221; thereby disrespecting and insulting their quality while they still had an ongoing agreement. Furthermore, <strong>an agreement that was set to last until 2024, but MrBeast unilaterally extended indefinitely in 2022<\/strong>. It doesn&#8217;t sound good, truth be told.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MrBeast Burgers contends that MrBeast&#8217;s tweets, along with his team taking control of the restaurant&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/they-believed-they-had-the-solution-to-stop-extremism-in-networks-but-they-didnt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">social media<\/a> accounts, have damaged the company&#8217;s reputation, resulted in the loss of customers, and in general, <strong>caused them a financial loss in the nine-figure range<\/strong>. That&#8217;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&#8217;s impossible to determine who is in the right. Maybe both parties have valid points. Maybe neither of them. What&#8217;s clear for now is that we&#8217;ll be avoiding these burgers, just to be safe. You never know.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Just Eat\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/01eab9a6-671b-480b-9c24-1d5f2a856f6d\/2107543030\/just-eat-es-comida-a-domicilio-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Just Eat<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/just-eat-es-comida-a-domicilio.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/just-eat-es-comida-a-domicilio.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Some of the links added in the article are part of affiliate campaigns and may represent benefits for Softonic.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9263,"featured_media":243761,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":0},"categories":[1015],"tags":[4969,4189,4970,4905],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-243758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-app-subdomain-redirectionjust-eat","tag-hamburguesas","tag-mrbeast","tag-youtuber"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9263"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243758"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243758\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":318626,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243758\/revisions\/318626"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243758"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=243758"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=243758"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=243758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
