Logan Paul slammed for “exploiting” birth of his child for Lunchly ad

As a seasoned gamer with a keen eye for the absurdities of social media, I find myself both amused and somewhat disheartened by the Logan Paul Lunchly debacle. On one hand, it’s a testament to the power of influencer marketing that even during such a momentous life event, Paul felt compelled to promote his new venture. On the other, it’s a stark reminder of the blurred lines between personal and professional life in this digital age.


Online spectators showed little enthusiasm when Logan Paul posted a promotional video for Lunchly, as he was simultaneously announcing the birth of his and his partner’s child.

YouTube personality turned WWE wrestler, Logan Paul, and his partner Nina Agdal had their first child, Esme, in late September 2024. This birth was a happy event, but Paul is facing criticism from online users for promoting his Lunchly brand during the labor process.

On September 16, 2024, Paul debuted his Lunchly meal kit alongside KSI and MrBeast. In a way that resembles Lunchables, this meal is available in three distinct options. But unlike regular Lunchables, each Lunchly package comes equipped with a Prime drink and a Feastables chocolate bar.

As I basked in the praise from fans of Paul and Agdal for our recent success, there were still some online folks who just couldn’t wrap their heads around me promoting my new business endeavor during such a critical moment when Agdal was giving birth.

In a widely-shared video clip, Paul proudly spoke about Lunchly. “Naturally, we have our snacks and energy drink – none other than the finest meals on the planet, Lunchly, of course,” he remarked as the camera focused on a turkey and cheese cracker stack meal.

Furthermore, Agdal expressed her fondness for the festive nachos as well, saying “I love them!

Viewers weren’t impressed, though, with many agreeing that Paul promoting Lunchly was distasteful.

One person jokingly said, “Picture yourself growing up and constantly hearing, ‘Wasn’t your father advertising a product during your birth?’

Picture this scenario: You’ve just been born, and the very first sight you behold is a camera recording an advertisement.

“Advertising Lunchly rather than giving the wife a nice meal is insane,” added a third.

Nevertheless, certain spectators argued that since Paul’s child could potentially inherit the business and wealth later on, promoting Lunchly wasn’t entirely a negative decision.

Besides the controversy about Marketing Lunchly attending a lunch meeting during his fiancée’s labor, there are also other criticisms towards his new meal kit.

Dietician Destini Moody from Top Nutrition Coaching discussed with TopMob the nutritional content, or lack of, found in Lunchly’s meal kits. She pointed out that crucial details about Lunchly’s sodium and saturated fat levels were omitted in their marketing materials, a decision she suspects was intentional.

As a health-conscious fan, I’d say: “I noticed that the saturated fat and sodium levels in Lunchables and Lunchables Light are quite alike. It seems plausible that our favorite influencers might have decided to steer clear of sharing this detail in their marketing campaigns, as it may not align with their health-focused image.
