In a new video, the car of Twitch-streamer Trymacs was filled to the brim with bags of chips as a prank. However, many fans suspect that it is a scripted marketing stunt.
What kind of video is this? In a new video on Trymacs’ YouTube-channel, his brother and Twitch colleague Chefstrobel wanted to “prank” him by filling his entire car with bags of chips. The streamer had to retrieve them from his car for 30 minutes to be able to drive again.
However, many fans suspect that it is a scripted marketing stunt and find the video inauthentic.
Fans do not buy the prank from Trymacs
What do viewers criticize about the video? Viewers mainly criticize that the prank does not come off as authentic. Frequent comments under the video, such as the one from user “hotepra2661”, compare it to the Prankbros. The still-active YouTube channel of the Prankbros was known a few years ago primarily for bad and staged pranks.
The viewers’ suspicion that it is a marketing stunt is further reinforced by the fact that Trymacs recently launched a new product. He is releasing the product, just like his pizza chain together with Knossi.
Why could it be a marketing stunt? Viewers like DJ_Buegeleisen
comment under the video that the whole stunt is just a marketing measure. The reason for this is that the bags of chips packed in Trymacs’ car represent his latest product.

goes a step further and mentions that Trymacs is also wearing a shirt with his company logo, which to him no longer appears to be a coincidence or a classic prank.
