The challenge began when MrBeast purchased a full grocery store and invited four contestants to live inside while eating its contents.
Initially the prize was a modest $250,000 for the last person standing, but after 67 days the rules were rewritten: the four would share a $1 million pot if they could clear the remaining stock.
They finally finished after 202 days, having consumed 4.3 million calories and left a mere 6,614 in waste—a feat that earned them the million‑dollar payout.
The video, uploaded on October 3, racked up 70 million views in its first day and has since surged past 125 million, clocking over a billion minutes of watch time with an average stay of 20 minutes per viewer.
MrBeast himself, still a 17‑year veteran, said he feels his best days are ahead, while the comments section boasted over 10,000 users calling it his best video yet.
With the clip still climbing, the platform may push it into new record territory, and fans can expect even more explosive challenges from the YouTube king.
