"It does look kind of similar" - xQc responds to claims of Pokimane's snack being "rebranded" and "scam"

Twitch and Kick star Felix "xQc" has weighed in on the uproar surrounding Imane "Pokimane's" new food venture - Myna Snacks. For those unaware, on November 14, 2023, netizens on social media claimed that the Moroccan-Canadian personality's cookie brand was a "rebrand" of an already-available snack called Toatzy Midnight Mini Cookie.

X (formerly Twitter) user @FearedBuck posted images of the two food products and asked the community if Pokimane's Myna Snacks was a "scam." They wrote:

"Pokimane's new product is apparently just a rebranded 'Toatzy Midnight Mini Cookie,' which she sells for three times the price. The only difference between the cookies is vitamin D3. $28 vs $9.99 for 400g. Scam?"

During a livestream on November 15, 2023, xQc compared Myna Snacks with Toatzy Midnight Mini Cookie, and his first reaction was:

"Let me look. I mean... it does look kind of similar. Yeah. The f**k?"

xQc does a "third-party investigation" to determine if Pokimane's Myna Snacks is a "rebrand" of an already-available product

Felix had just begun his livestream on November 15, 2023, when Twitch chatters brought up the controversy surrounding Pokimane's food brand. He began browsing X and comparing Myna Snacks to Toatzy Midnight Mini Cookie to learn more about the situation.

After initially claiming that the two brands of cookies were identical, xQc decided to conduct a "third-party investigation" to determine the validity of netizens' claims. He said:

"Guys, I'm doing a third-party investigation. Hey, hold up! Everybody, back up! Guys, I am a third-party investigator. Okay? Guys, I don't usually like clicking on @FearedBuck's f**king Twitter s**t because it's usually click-bait and misinformation. If I was in Poki's shoes, I wouldn't want that to happen. Unless it's true."

xQc then reviewed the "Nutrition Facts" for Myna Snacks and Toatzy Midnight Mini Cookie from @FearedBuck's tweet. While comparing the values, the former Overwatch pro remarked:

"Total fat - 9g (12%). Saturated fat - 3.5g (18%). Trans fat - 0g. Cholesterol - 0g. Sodium - 75g (3%). Carbohydrates - 14g (5%). Dietary Fiber - 2g. Total Sugars - 8g. Protein - 2g. What the f**k? Huh? Yo, I'm f**king confused! Wait, is it the same thing?"

xQc also asked his audience if Myna Snacks' nutritional facts being nearly identical to Toatzy Midnight Mini Cookie was "normal":

"Sometimes, chat, gamers - we get into these things, okay? And, we don't know s**t about the world. Okay? Is this normal or not? Guys, is this normal or not?"
