My phone was blowing up yesterday with texts from friends: "Omg Elavi is in a viral Youtube video that has MILLIONS of views" I panicked - is this going to be good PR or bad PR? Popular Youtuber Drew Gooden returned from his 3-month hiatus to share a deep-dive on protein snacks, titled: "The internet made me obsessed with protein." Drew shared a thoughtful and entertaining video reviewing protein snacks, rating most of them poorly: The Only Bean - Crunchy Roasted Edamame Beans DAAL Extreme Crunch - Irresistible Superfood Snack Pack Khloe Kardashians Khloud Protein Popcorn ProDough -Gourmet Protein Donut Mixes Meal Boosters - Cheesy Cheese Protein Powder Munch Better Protein Brownies Hormbles Chrombles - Protein Chocolate Promix- Protein Bars Loser Bites - Healthy Mug Brownies Magic Spoon Bars & Cereal ZoRaw- Chocolate Bars Knockout Bites - Protein Gummy Candy What protein snacks did he genuinely love? Elavi's protein brownies 🤭 - "This brownie is incredible" I guess this is how you know you have product-market fit. Create a product so innovative and delicious that it speaks for itself. We didn't pay for the feature or hire an expensive agency. We didn't fabricate hype in a video to fake virality. We just obsessed over creating a really amazing product. What I appreciated most is that Drew called out that our protein brownies aren't crazy high in protein...and that's why they tasted so good. Elavi's brownies are 10g protein each (which is still 5x higher than a Little Debbie's brownie!) but so delicious he went through 2 boxes immediately. And that's often the tradeoff for 20g+ protein snacks - unpalatable taste or a really gnarly stomach ache. It’s moments like this that remind me: taste *is* the innovation. In a world flooded with high-protein options, the winners will be the ones people actually want to eat again (and again). Curious... what protein snacks you’ve tried that actually taste good? Or ones that made you question humanity? 😂 Let’s hear your favorites (or least favorites). You can catch the shoutout at minute 22 here: https://lnkd.in/gB-fzHiW
