Four Strangers, One Grocery Store, 4.3 Million Calories: How the "Grocery Boys" Ate Their Way to $1 Million
MrBeast ミスタービースト
This MrBeast video picks up where an earlier challenge left off. Four men who had refused to leave a grocery store for 67 days were offered a new deal: Jimmy would restock the whole store, and if they ate everything in it, they would split a $1,000,000 prize. The video follows Eldin, Reyhan, Jackson and Juan for the rest of their stay, which the video puts at more than 200 days in the store overall. Food spoiled, injuries happened, morale dipped, and a series of side challenges sped up or slowed down the work of eating through a store Jimmy describes as "an entire city's worth of food."
The Setup and the Rules
The store held 4.3 million calories. Jimmy notes that if the four men each ate 2,000 calories a day, finishing would take them more than a year. One contestant guessed early on, "This could take, like, a year."
The key rule tied waste to money. Every calorie that went bad would cost one dollar from the prize pool. Jimmy points out that if a little under a quarter of the store spoiled, the whole prize would be gone. Staff watched every part of the store around the clock so that nothing could be thrown away unnoticed. As in the original challenge, the contestants could not step on or over a red line.
Their first act was an inventory: 105 loaves of bread, 34 cans of pears, 96 V8s, 271 cans of tuna, 400 jars of seasoning, 22 cans of salsa, and much more. Jimmy also says that across the store, unhealthy products were replaced with healthier versions, giving Froot Loops swapped for protein cereal as an example. He brought in a personal trainer, John, to work with them daily.
Fighting Spoilage First
The group quickly agreed that produce would go bad first and made it the priority. Within minutes, blueberries spilled onto the floor. Jimmy valued them at about 80 calories, or $80. Someone suggested throwing them away, but the others refused and ate them. The plan for the first days was to freeze the vegetables and juice the fruit. Jackson made fresh orange juice, Reyhan and Juan cut and froze cauliflower, and nearly the entire bread aisle went into the freezer because bread is so calorie-dense.
The first dinner was cheesesteaks, chosen partly because it used up a lot of peppers. Day one ended with about 10,000 calories eaten out of 4.3 million. By day three the contestants admitted they had not eaten even 1% of the store. They decided to get foods they disliked, such as onions, out of the way early so the harder stretch later would feel easier. A careful tally put them at 65,941 calories.
Exercise became part of the strategy. The thinking, as they described it, was that burning more calories would let them eat more.
Roles, Routines, and Eldin's Slump
The narration describes how the group settled into roles. Juan opened every day by greeting the fans gathered outside the store. Jackson turned food into juices and smoothies. Reyhan became the cook and said he had been reading cookbooks at night to work out how to make 4.3 million calories taste good. The group is called "a well-oiled machine."
Eldin struggled. He said it was "kinda sad" being in there so long, four men against 4.3 million calories, and that it made him want to go back to Last to Leave. The narration says he was sleeping in, missing workouts, and at times refusing to eat. Jimmy came in to work out with the group and try to motivate him. After more than a week, Jimmy said no one had thrown away a single calorie and the prize was still at $1 million, which he admitted was better than he expected.
Day 10: The Blindfold Cart Challenge and the Bodybuilders
On day 10, Jimmy and his crew put on blindfolds and pushed shopping carts around the store. The contestants had one minute to call out directions from above, telling the crew what to load. Whatever ended up in the carts, "we" would help eat. Jimmy said a well-directed run could load something like 100,000 calories. It went badly. The crew crashed into things, someone took someone else's cart, and Nolan wandered off while being shouted at to take "the whole box." Jimmy's verdict was "Y'all are horrible at listening."
The "we" turned out to mean ten bodybuilders brought in to eat the carts' contents, but the carts were nearly empty. The narration says the bodybuilders didn't make the impact the group had hoped for. By day 10 they had eaten almost 200,000 calories, mostly produce, which they had nearly cleared, but they were still under 5% of the store.
Day 11: A Hundred Days Inside
Day 11 was also the contestants' 100th day living in the store, counting the original challenge, and Jimmy's birthday. To mark it, Jimmy brought a shopping cart holding $40,000 and gave $10,000 to a family member of each contestant. One named his wife, whose birthday was the next day. Others sent the money to their parents, telling them to take a vacation, or wished a mother happy birthday.
The narration says the isolation had made the four "a family of their own." Juan made a Mother's Day sign. Reyhan took the lead on cooking for the group. Eldin became the store barber.
Days 20–30: Burning Calories for Donation
On day 20, Jimmy announced a ten-day challenge built around the Fitbit Air trackers the contestants wore. Every calorie they burned over the next ten days would be removed from the store as food, cooked, and given to people in need. Jimmy told the trainer to make sure no one overexerted themselves, since the contestants were "heavily incentivized," and said the contestants had to stop when the trainer told them to.
The gap within the group became obvious. By 6 a.m. the others had been working out for hours while Eldin slept. Eldin later said he was "kinda in defeat" because everyone was burning more than him, even though he was trying as hard as he could. John's explanation was simple: the others were getting about two extra hours on him every day. Teammates teased him for lying down while about 5,000 calories behind. The others were burning more than 4,000 calories a day. The narration notes that the oldest of the group, Juan, was leading, and at one point had been jumping for about five hours.
The Food-Safety Setback
Around this point the group proudly told Jimmy that zero food had gone bad. Jimmy replied, "That's not what the food-safety expert told me," and introduced Quinn, a food-safety specialist. Quinn showed them vegetables that had been in the freezer too long and were no longer safe to eat. The contestants protested that they looked fine. Jimmy said this was exactly what he paid her for, because he couldn't have anyone getting sick.
The spoiled food came to 6,614 calories, so $6,614 came out of the prize pool. One contestant started to blame another for not watching expiration dates, and another cut that off: "We're a team." One of them said it "really kicks your butt" to work so hard not to lose money and then lose it anyway.
To lift morale, Jimmy brought in reinforcements. Alison, a contestant from another video being filmed, in which she is chained to a random person every five days, was chained to Juan for five days and helped eat. The contestants credited her with eating as much as they did.
On day 30, the total came in at 201,768 calories burned over ten days, including Alison's. The group cooked about 200,000 calories of meals on site. Reyhan explained why this mattered to him personally: he and his brother Eldin came from Europe as immigrants, did not have much money or food at first, and now could give back to the community that had given them so much. Jimmy reported that more than 300 people were fed. Then Alison was chained to a new stranger and left, and the store "just got quiet."
Homesickness, Friction, and the Bird Feeder
The middle stretch was the hardest emotionally. One contestant described his son asking, "Daddy, can you cross the red line?" and having to answer, "I'll be home soon." He said he walked the aisles knowing that wasn't true.
Reyhan's answer was to push the pace. They were eating four meals and four smoothies a day, and he reported they were "knocking out" 37,000 calories a day. He said the refrigerators and freezers were looking clear, while others in the shot pointed out they were still full. The narration says his "obsession" eventually had him biting off more than the group could chew. In one argument he cooked a huge batch of potatoes, Eldin said he couldn't eat them all, and Reyhan told him to stop "acting like a baby," arguing that anything not eaten would come out of the prize pool. The narration is blunt: there were still millions of calories left, and they weren't leaving any time soon.
Reyhan, "desperate for something to ease his mind," built a bird feeder out of seeds from the store. He said he sat by the dock every morning listening to birds. He spent most of a day waiting, and no birds came.
Juan Learns to Read and Write
One storyline came from Juan. He explained that Reyhan once asked him at the checkout whether he could read English. He couldn't read or write, so Reyhan started giving him small spelling tests, encouraging him not to get frustrated when he got words wrong. Juan said he could now make short sentences and was getting better all the time. By the end he had written Reyhan a long thank-you letter. Reyhan said receiving it was one of his best moments and he would keep it for the rest of his life. The narration presents this as a reminder to Reyhan, who had been focused on himself and his own family, that helping another person, sometimes a total stranger, can be the greatest reward.
Jimmy also announced merch shirts with each contestant's face. He said this came from viewers of the first grocery store video asking how they could help the contestants earn extra money. Half the proceeds from each shirt go to the contestant on it. A large crowd outside received shirts, and Jimmy said this was how many people came to the store every day to see them.
Day 40: Shopping-Cart Football
On day 40, Jimmy brought in grass and built a mini football field. A contestant would be thrown a football and had to catch it in a shopping cart. A catch from the 10-yard line earned one football player for 24 hours, and each additional ten yards back added another player, up to ten. The players said they could each eat 20,000 calories, and Jimmy said ten of them could eat enough to send the group home a week early.
Juan, who said he had never played football growing up and felt a lot of pressure, made the first catch. More catches brought the total to three. Eldin then missed a throw worth six players, thrown by ECU quarterback Mitch. Jackson made the final catch, bringing the roster to seven. They chose the biggest, hungriest players. The players ate thousands of calories quickly, then got very sleepy, and the 24 hours ran out while several were asleep. A coach came in to clear them out.
Next, Jimmy took Juan away for a few days to compete in a "Strangers Chained" video. Jimmy said he wouldn't spoil the ending. Juan's return gave the group a big boost of energy, and the narration says they quickly got back on track. Teammates said, "You can't not like this guy."
Day 50: Families Inside the Store
On day 50, the contestants' families spent 24 hours in the store. They brought energy and food. One contestant said his wife's cooking was probably the best they had eaten in four months, and the families ate as much as they could. Jimmy says the families had a bigger impact on the calorie count than any other group, "by far." When they left, the store went quiet again. One contestant said he had been dreaming about his family ever since and could still hear his kids calling "Daddy." Another said he had come in 140 days earlier and wasn't leaving until he made his family proud.
Juan's Injury and the Patio
The group pushed their workouts hard, and Juan got hurt. His foot and ankle swelled, and a teammate said it looked "like a pineapple." Teammates said he didn't really listen when they told him to ice it or rest. John found it still inflamed and kept him off the treadmill. Juan still couldn't sit still, so the others pushed him around in a shopping cart. Jackson said he had "gained an uncle in Juan" and two brothers in Reyhan and Eldin.
The group then discovered the dock was locked. The narration calls the dock their only connection to the outside world. Jimmy then revealed why: in response to their wish to get some direct sunlight, the red line had been moved outward to create an outdoor patio with a Blackstone griddle. The contestants rated it twenty out of twenty. Jimmy warned that day 60 might be "the hardest thing ever."
The others then launched "Operation Heal Juan." This included English lessons that also kept him sitting still, smoothies, and a swimming pool for improvised water therapy. The narration says it "miraculously" began to work, and Juan said his foot was a lot better.
Day 60: The 100-Mile Treadmill
The day 60 challenge was a "golden treadmill." The store had 2.4 million calories left, and a counter would tick down over 24 hours. Whatever the counter showed when the group finished 100 miles would be removed from the store and given to people in need. If they failed to reach 100 miles in 24 hours, nothing would be removed. Jimmy also handed out Kizik shoes for the run.
Juan started at a pace of seven. Jimmy warned that if Juan pulled a muscle the team would lose a competitor. The group had no plan at first but soon settled on rotating runners each mile, with a refuel station of water and snacks and rest between sets. John, the trainer, said the pace might hold to mile thirty, but "this is four marathons in one." He predicted they would start slowing around mile fifty. The narration says that is almost exactly what happened. Juan mentioned his knee. Another contestant said he had never run this much in his life and had run his first mile ever only a couple of days earlier. Cramps set in, and the counter fell below one million.
Messages from family helped push them through. One child said, "I'm proud of my dad." One contestant said he wanted to see his parents, and another talked about getting home to his best friend, Casey. Masseuses were brought in for the final miles. They finished with about 600,000 calories on the counter. Jimmy said a more athletic group had attempted the same challenge and finished with 350,000, and that by all estimates this group had "crushed" it. The 600,000 calories were removed and donated. The contestants estimated that eating it themselves would have taken at least two months.
Visitors, Tradition, and Getting Under a Million
Jimmy's friends Jim and Monika, competing in a separate video in which they drive a Lamborghini around the world, drove the car into the store. They couldn't leave until they had eaten at least 10,000 calories, and the contestants fed them smoothies and pasta while Eldin took the Lamborghini for a joyride through the aisles.
Afterward, Juan withdrew from the group for several days and barely ate. He had gone to a soccer tournament every year for 25 years and was now missing it. Asked if he wanted to go outside, he said, "I want to go home." Jimmy brought the tournament into the store, and Juan's friends and family ate 55,000 calories that evening. A lot of food still remained. The group was down to things they didn't want to eat, including an onion juice that one of them said smelled like a high school locker room, and seemingly endless beans. Jimmy tried their smoothie of pumpkin protein powder, rice cakes, five servings of maple syrup and a chocolate bar, and called it "not too bad."
When the group talked about cars, with Jackson wanting a sports car and Reyhan wanting an SUV because he wants more kids, Jimmy brought in cars and a challenge. The four plus Jimmy had to finish eight pounds of beans before competitive eater Joey Chestnut finished sixteen pounds, which Jimmy called a world record. The team won by a narrow margin. Joey set a new world record anyway, and each contestant won a new car. With that, the store dropped below one million calories, which Jimmy said meant 75% had been eaten. The cars led to jokes, including a mock police chase of Juan's Silverado with the plate J-U-A-N, and to the group moving shelving to make room to drive inside.
The contestants also talked about what each person contributed. Juan was always up and cleaning. Jackson was the one to look up to in the gym. Eldin always made the others laugh.
Day 100: The Original Contestants Return
On day 100 of this phase, Jimmy brought back the contestants from the first grocery store video. That had begun 189 days earlier, when strangers who walked in to shop unknowingly entered a contest for $250,000. They had one hour to help eat. The group cooked and built a giant table from store items. The returning contestants toured what had changed: "Fort Freezy" from the first video was now a gym, and Xavian's old aisle "doesn't look much of an aisle anymore." Juan said he was happy to see their faces and be together in the store again.
Jimmy then made a correction. Seeing the original group made him realize the four hadn't been inside for 100 days but for 190, because they had waited another 22 days while the store was restocked. The narration says this made them realize they had to get out now.
The Final Stretch, a Proposal Plan, and Awards
The last push included "the last day of the blender," frozen eggs and the last of the shrimp. Months earlier they had said that once they got to the steak, they would know they had won, and now they were at the steak. Jackson told the group he had decided to propose to his girlfriend. He was nervous about first asking her parents, so Jimmy set up the call. Her parents said yes right away. Jackson chose an oval ring, and Jimmy also offered Juan, who had no ring, a ring for his wife.
Jimmy then presented awards based on 110 days of data from the contestants' Fitbit Air trackers and the Google Health app, which they had agreed to share:
- Most calories burned: Jackson, 451,299
- Most hours slept: Eldin, 1,054 hours and 4 minutes
- Most calories cooked: Reyhan, 2,011,555
- Most steps taken: Juan, 2,735,000
Each also received a lifetime subscription to Google Health Premium with a personal health coach.
With two days left, fewer than 50,000 calories remained. Almost 4.3 million had been eaten, and only the 6,614 from the freezer incident had gone to waste. Reyhan made the final meal around bread, which he said his mother had taught him to make. He had also saved toilet paper rolls for the group to "TP" the store, a callback to an earlier moment when they had thought they were going home. The narration frames it as restoring a memory of where they came from rather than mindless destruction.
The Last Bite
Jimmy says the last day came after more than 200 days, with fans standing in the rain to watch. Exactly 3,882 calories remained. Jimmy noted that 202 days earlier these four men had walked into the store to buy food, and had since outlasted more than 90 people. Surrounded by family and a chanting crowd, they ate the last bite and were told they were free to leave.
In a closing voiceover, Jimmy calls the project one of the craziest social experiments in history: total strangers trying to outlast each other in a grocery store, and then four of them staying to eat their way out. He then hands the conclusion to the contestants. On their last night they said they didn't know what stepping back into life would feel like after being together 24 hours a day with no one else. One said he couldn't have done it with anyone else, and the others noted they had arrived not knowing each other and were leaving as "best friends forever." Jimmy announced they had won one million dollars, and they reunited with their families. One child asked, "We go home now?" Jackson then proposed to his girlfriend in front of everyone, and she said, "Yes, I do."
I just bought this entire grocery store—and no joke, this is crazy! But if these four contestants eat everything inside, they win a million dollars.
Oh, my gosh! Wow! You mean like everything?! Everything.
You four are attempting something never been done. Eating through an entire city's worth of food. Millions and millions of calories while never leaving the store.
That's impossible… Wow… Pick an aisle! Let's get at it, boys!
This could take a year. I don't know. Let's start it off right here. All this is good till 2028, so we don't have to worry about it right now.
You guys got a lot of seaweed here… What's your thoughts on that? Yeah.
So what's the plan here, boys? I have no idea. There's so much food in here. We need to take inventory of the whole store. Let's count up every calorie in here.
105 loaves of bread. 34 cans of pear. 96 V8s. Since it's a new aisle… Rip! 271 tuna. 400 jars of seasoning. 22 canned salsa. Let's go! We're done.
This is a lot. It's a lot of food… It's too many. Too much.
Produce is literally the first thing that's gonna go bad. Yes… Let's go to produce!
Juan! Come here. Come get a banana. Cheers! Cheers! Cheers! The first bite of food! One bite down. A million more to go!
You are looking at 4.3 million calories of food. Meaning, if these four ate 2,000 calories a day each, it would take them over a year to eat everything in the grocery store.
Definitely the produce will go bad first, right? So we should definitely, probably target that. We gotta get all these fruits and vegetables off the shelves and into the freezer.
Letting food expire is the worst thing they could do, because every calorie that goes bad is a dollar out of their prize pool. So if less than a quarter of the food in this store goes bad… their entire prize will be gone.
So with the berries—whoa! Oh, no!
There's around 80 calories worth of blueberries on the floor, aka $80. Boys, let's just throw 'em away? No, no, no, no, no. It's okay. That's just $20 a pop! We'll be good. We can eat 'em.
Despite being on the ground for a couple minutes, they taste pretty good.
We finished moving all the produce to the freezer so it doesn't go bad. What're we eating for dinner tonight?
First meal, I'm doing cheesesteaks. It's one of my favorite things to do. And plus we get to use a lot of peppers.
The first meal in the grocery store. Cheers! Great job.
The store has 4.3 million calories of food. And so far, you guys have only ate 10,000. This is gonna take forever!
One last thing… you cannot step on or over the red line.
One, two, three! Team! Oh, my gosh! Let's see how this goes.
Oh, my gosh! I've got a camera looking right at me. Turn the lights off.
Good night, Eldin! Good night, Jimmy. Good night, Reyhan. Good night, Jackson. And good night, Juan! Good night, Jimmy.
Let's get the day started. Wow… We have a lot of food ahead of us.
What is going on, y'all?! It is day two in the grocery store. The game plan is freeze the veggies and juice the fruit. We're trying to go through vegetables and fruit as quickly as possible so nothing goes bad.
Everybody has a different role right here. You got Jackson making some freshly squeezed orange juice. So you got Reyhan and Juan knocking out the cauliflower. Freezing the cauliflower!
And while they make sure that stuff doesn't go bad… Let's go make the bread a better place. This is the entire bread aisle. And we want to freeze almost everything here just so nothing goes bad because bread has a lot of calories.
We're trying to make everything last. We're not trying to lose a single dime out of this million dollars.
The morale is high. We're all happy. We're tackling calories like it's nothing so far. Munch! Munch! We are a little tired. We just gotta keep going.
Happy day three! How you guys doing?! Hey! Awesome! No one's left yet! That's a good sign.
What if we took this right here? Let's see how that works… Yeah! There we go. Home away from home, isn't it? Oh, this really looks nice.
Is it weird to have fans just staring at you all day? No, it's actually pretty motivating, so—
And that's because this isn't their first video. These four started as enemies in our Last to Leave Grocery Store challenge. But on day 67, when none of them were willing to quit, I gave them a chance to quadruple the prize pool and keep going together under one condition: I completely restock the grocery store and they have to eat everything inside.
And now, you're literally world famous. Woo! People are standing outside the grocery store just to look at you. Yes, I—I feel bad.
It's day three. What's the game plan? With produce, we took a lot and cut it up, and now it's in the freezer. All of the bread is now in the freezer.
So you've done a good job preserving the food that's about to go bad, but—do you think so far, we've ate more than 1% of the store? No… No! Not really. No.
Oh, boy… There's a lot of food on these aisles. It's just a lot. It's gonna take a long time. As you can see, we still have freezers worth of food, so… It's just a lot of food. When you think about it, it is a lot.
To keep the motivation going for later on in the challenge, they decided to knock out some food they didn't like.
Ugh, I do not wanna eat these onions. It's okay, dude, don't worry. It's okay. Don't cry! I'm about to stop right now 'cause…
Don't put on the floor, my friend. Five dollars, my friend!
Of course, to make sure they don't throw away any calories without us noticing, we have people 24/7 monitoring every single part of this store. But clearly these guys are already taking this very seriously.
Plus three twenty… Plus ninety… Two twenty…
Two twenty… Three hundred… Twenty… One eighty! Plus two seventy… Three! Two sixty… Eighty-five… Five two five… Seventeen… 17,404.
So we've eaten 65,941 calories so far.
We need to work out. It's a huge part of the show. If not, we're cooked. So our strategy is to burn as many calories as possible so we can eat more.
But to make sure they stay even more healthy… This is protein cereal! This is healthy cereal. We got rid of the Froot Loops. We replaced it with higher-quality stuff. Throughout the entire store, we replaced all the unhealthy stuff with healthier versions.
But that's not all! I also brought you a personal trainer that can train you every day.
Let's go! Let's see, Juan. Let's see! Oh, yeah! Yeah!
Juan, how do you think your family would react if at the end of the video you're jacked?
Surprised because… a lotta.
Your wife would be like, "Oh, my gosh!" Yes!
Exercise is done. The boys did it. Amigos!
At this point, they've developed a routine. Juan started off every day by greeting his fans.
Good morning, my friend!
Jackson would turn food into juice or smoothies. Jackie smooth. Jackie, smooth!
And Reyhan would learn how to make 4.3 million calories taste good.
I've been reading cookbooks at night trying to see what I can make. You know what I mean?
Cheers, you guys!
Juan, why'd you eat it so slowly?
The group was a well-oiled machine. Minus one…
Kinda sad right now. We've been in here for so long. And there's four of us versus 4.3 million calories. Kinda makes me wanna go back to Last to Leave.
Come on, man. Let's get movin'. Come on, wake up, buddy.
How are you not tired yet? Juan, you wanna lay with me? No!
Eldin's funk had him sleeping in, missing workouts.
Good morning, my friend!
And at times, he even refused to eat.
Are you hungry? We have to eat together.
So I decided to visit to see if I could help him find some motivation.
I'm gonna work out with the boys 'cause we need to burn calories so we can eat calories. Let's get it! Let's eat this whole store out! Let's do it. Let's do it! Come on, dude, come on! Pump 'em up! Pump 'em up. Come on now!
Jimmy smacked the workout with us. I'm feeling good. I feel stronger. The team has been amazing! I'm enjoying life! I wanna be outside of here, obviously. But the quicker we eat, the quicker we're gonna get out of here.
It's been over a week, and you guys have not thrown away a single calorie yet. Honestly, they're doing better than I thought! That million-dollar prize pool is still a million bucks. Let's see if it changes over the next week. Take care, boys!
It's day ten! Jimmy! Hey! What are these for?
I'm glad you asked. Me and the boys each have blindfolds.
I can't see.
In a moment, me and the boys will walk around the store blindfolded. And you will have one minute to instruct us on what to put in the carts. Whatever we put inside, we will help you eat.
Jimmy, I'm right here. You see me? Okay… I'm controlling you.
Oh, no, but you won't be there… All of you guys will actually be up there. And if you boss us around correctly, you can have us put, like, 100,000 calories in there.
Oh, my gosh… Contestants, are you ready? Yes, sir! We're ready. Go!
Jimmy, take a right and turn—just go straight. Wait, wait—he just took my cart! I can't see anything… Dude, where—?! Bro took my cart. Why!
Jimmy, just keep going straight. I'm scared. What's this? Ow! Jimmy, right! Right, right! My right or your right?
Take a left, take a left! Look, look—take a left. Go! Keep goin' straight. Take a left. This way? Oh!
Do you want me to grab stuff out of here? Everything! Every one of those bags.
Nolan, Nolan! Come back, come back! I don't know where to go. I can't—Nolan, where are you going?! Is this good? This good?! Just start taking stuff off the shelf.
Help me! I can't see anything! I can't see anything. I'm crashing!
Nolan… Nolan! Nolan, Nolan, just take all of that and put it in your cart. Right there, all of it in your cart. Put it all in your cart… Whole box, the whole box, Nolan. What?! The whole box, Nolan! The whole box! Take the whole box! Take everything. Take everything. What?!
Time's up, time's up… Time's up, time's up. All right, time? Y'all are horrible at listening. What?! I thought they'd boss us around a little better.
So when I said "we" were gonna help eat it, by "we," I meant—come on in! Yeah! I brought in ten bodybuilders to help eat everything in your carts.
Everything in your cart… Everything in your cart… Of course, there wasn't much in them.
Oh, my God. Why didn't you grab more stuff, bro?! Dude, I tried. I—What is—what'd you—what is this?! I just ran into the wall! We would've had this whole store completely wiped out.
I don't know how much help this actually is. Might be a little bit… but it's not looking too good for us.
The bodybuilders did not make as much of an impact as the boys were hoping they would, and just like that, they were back on their own again.
And at ten days into the challenge, they've almost eaten 200,000 calories, most of it coming from produce, which they've nearly cleared out, but they're still not even 5% through the calories in the store.
The aisles are still full, as you can see. I don't want to be here for a year.
Day eleven of the challenge also marks their hundredth day living in this grocery store.
Happy birthday to you!
And it also happens to be my birthday.
Thank you, guys. Thank you! Yay! How's it going? What's goin' on?
To celebrate a hundred days in this grocery store, in this shopping cart is $40,000. Wow!
And since you guys have been away from your family for the last hundred days, we're gonna give each of your family $10,000 to help hold them over while you're inside this grocery store. Who in your family are we giving ten grand?
My wife. My wife's birthday is tomorrow. She's the best wife in the world. Best mom in the world.
Mom, Dad, I hope you're happy. I know if it goes to one of y'all, it goes to both of y'all, so… Y'all go on vacation, enjoy your times. Have fun!
Happy birthday, Mom. Love you. Thankful for you.
All right, I'm gonna go give away that money. Take care, boys.
Spending so much time isolated with only each other has turned these four into a family of their own.
I'm making a sign for Mother's Day. Nice. Good job. Thank you. Trying to do this for your wife, and your sister, maybe, and your mom? Yeah. And this is for the Spanish. I will finish. Hey, hey! Let's go.
Wanting to get back home, Reyhan took the lead and started cooking for the entire group.
Time to cook the chicken. Juan… Eldin! I don't wanna cook without you watching me. This guy is very sleepy.
And when his brother wasn't oversleeping…
Eldin's backyard grocery store cuts. Juan's in a chair right now. I cut mine as well, as you can see. I've taken the role of being a barber.
I trust you. Maybe you could do a good job, my friend.
And for the most part, the rest of the group was feeling pretty motivated.
Dude, I don't know how you're all walking right now. You haven't touched one of these machines! If I walked right now, I'd throw up.
Boys! Boys, boys! Hey! Boys, I think you're gonna like the day 20 challenge. All of you have a Fitbit Air on, right? Over the next ten days, every calorie you burn will be removed from this grocery store and given to people in need.
So if over the next ten days… Let's go! Let's go! You guys burn 100,000 calories, then on day 30, we'll grab 100,000 calories, cook food over there, and then go give it to people in need.
Let's go. Let's get started! That's awesome! And the ten-day counter starts right now. John, let's get to work. Here we go, let's go! Go for it. Let's get it!
Your trainer here that you've been working out with. Need you to make sure they don't overexert themselves. They are heavily incentivized to burn calories. You guys gotta be safe doing it! And if he tells you guys you can't work out and you need to take a break, you have to listen to him, okay?
Right now, you can see in the top right corner of the screen the amount of calories they burn. They have until day 30 to burn as many calories as they can, safely. And then that amount of calories is the amount of food that we will make to give to people in need.
At 6 a.m. the next day, everyone had been up working out for hours. Wake up, wake up, wake up. Except for Eldin.
Good morning, sleeping cutie! Late today… Very late, my friend.
Woke up about 10 o'clock, 9:30, and I kid you not, I haven't got off my feet since.
You still sitting, bruh?! Come on, burn some calories, cuz! We woke up hours before you and already done that. You're just catchin' up.
And even though Eldin tried to get in on the workouts…
I can't… No, you can. Come on, why— It's just that top. That's it. Let's go. Come on. There's no "I can't." I can't. I need to cool down. Bud, I know you can do it. Can't, bruh.
Eldin, taking a rest break. I'm exhausted! It ain't no joke!
Right now, I'm kinda in defeat, 'cause all these boys are burning more calories than I am. But dude, I'm trying as hard as I can!
John, how do I burn more calories? How do you burn more calories? They're all catching two hours on you every day. Yeah. That's all it is. Yeah, just gotta start waking up early.
Look at you laying. Look at him laying down again, bro! Hell nah! My man is behind by, like, 5,000 calories and still has the nerve to lay down. Shut up, bro. That is crazy!
While Eldin struggled to burn calories… Since I've been awake, he's been up here. The other boys were burning over 4,000 calories a day. And surprisingly, the oldest of the group, Juan, was leading the way.
You've been jumping, Juan, for like five hours, bro. Why don't you sit down a little bit? Take a little break. Not right now!
And while Eldin may have been falling behind on the challenge, he was still focused on the goal.
Million dollars is still a million-dollar prize. We have not thrown anything away. We're not letting no food go to waste.
Boys, boys, boys, I missed you! Has any food gone bad? No! Zero. No. Everything's been good! Nothing! We're still at a million dollars. Thank you.
No food has gone bad so far? No food has gone bad. No! That's not what the food-safety expert told me. You're joking… Come with me, boys. Oh, no… Oh, my God.
This is Quinn, our food-safety specialist. Can you please explain it?
Here we have veggies that, they have been in the freezer far too long, and they're no longer safe to eat.
This is no longer safe to eat? That looks good! That's fine. That's fine. This is good! Unfortunately, they are no longer safe to eat.
This is what I pay her for. I can't have anyone getting sick. It does look like it's slowly dying. This Brussels sprout's a little brown.
That looks perfectly fine! I don't know, man. That looks good… Perfect?! That looks good, man! Bro, I would never eat this!
So we counted up every calorie of food that went bad to see how much money they lost.
This is no good. It's no good at all.
Inside this cart is 6,614 calories. Which means, I need $6,614 out of your prize pool. Dang… And with that, the prize pool has now been updated.
That is not fun. Sucks… Thought you were on expiration stuff, bro. Don't put blame on him. We're a team, bro… Don't throw no blame.
The morale is low… It really kicks your butt when you work that hard to not lose any money, and then…
When you work that hard to not lose any money, and then lose it, so…
I know that wasn't a fun moment, but I think what I'm about to show you might cheer you up.
The six grand? What could it be? Maybe family? Or people to come help us. Never know! Maybe!
I brought them reinforcements. Alison, who is in a different video we're filming, where she has to be chained to a random person every five days. And for these five days, it's Juan.
I can eat. I'm gonna help you guys! I'm through my first day. Look how cool this is. I've been eating like a man in here.
Thankful for Alison. She's been eating as much as we are.
Truthfully, I'm still sad about losing $6,000, and we know that we're not gonna let that happen again.
It's day thirty! Jimmy! Wanna know how many calories you've burned? Go on. Let us know! I would love to. Just give it to us!
201,768 calories over the last ten days. Let's go! Let's go, let's go! Including Alison. Let's go!
And now that we have that total, cut to the kitchen!
Let's get to cooking! Let's go! We're getting closer and closer and closer and closer to being out of here. Not only is it a win for us, but it's a win for the community.
This is 201,700 calories on this table. Let's help some people in need. Let's go! We're ready to cook!
We're pan frying, stir frying, boiling, pan frying again, air frying, air frying, air frying, air frying, air frying, air frying, toasting, toasting. We are just cooking like crazy!
Me and my brother, Eldin, we came here from Europe as immigrants, so we didn't have food immediately. We didn't have as much money. But now being able to give back to the same community that gave so much to us. This is a really good experience that we gotta do here, so we just gotta keep feeding more and more people.
And that's 200,000 calories worth of meals. Let's go! Yay! Let's deliver 'em!
Okay, here you go! Here's your drink. Hey, grab as much Feastables and beef jerky as you want!
Hey, boys. Can you hear me? Yes, sir! What's up? Yes! So this is all your food going to good work. Let's go! Let's go! Aye! Yeah!
We got a line all the way out the door. Heck, yeah. I wish you could be here! You guys did great.
All right, sounds good! Later, brother! Later, dude! Take it easy, man. Thank you!
Over three hundred people just got fed, two hundred thousand calories have been donated. Bruh, we do this. Yeah!
But the celebration was bittersweet because it was time to chain Alison to a new stranger and exit the grocery store.
Any last words, gentlemen? Bye! Love you, Juan! Later! Dang.
And it just got quiet in here. That's so sad. Alison, you're gonna be missed. Now we're just back to our boring schedule. We're still here. We'll be here for however long it takes to eat up everything in this grocery store.
Tubs…
No, dude, I can't. My son said, "Daddy, can you cross the red line?" And I just had to sit there and be like, "Buddy, I'll be home soon." And then as I walk through these aisles, it's literally just a reminder that I know I won't be, but I just can't wait.
Time to cook.
And Reyhan would do exactly that. Meal after meal. Ding! Ding! Ding! After meal. After meal.
I gotta show him that I don't give up. We had four meals a day, four smoothies. Trying to finish everything on my plate, but I'm so full.
Eldin! Yo! Whatcha doing, bro? I'm full. We are full.
Reyhan's ready to go home. Reyhan has been pushing the idea on everybody for a couple days.
Just keep eating. Eat, eat, eat. That's it. Cooking a lot of food. And we are extremely full.
I'm due any day now, Jimmy.
And when it came to progress, Reyhan couldn't be more divided from his team.
Knocked out 37,000 calories a day. If we had a drink, we'd be at 40K. Refrigerators are looking clear. That's completely full. Freezers are looking wiped out. That's completely full. Should be out of here in no time. We're gonna be here for a very long time.
And his obsession eventually had him biting off more than they could chew.
I'm telling you, I'm not eating all these potatoes. Eldin, you can't cry every day about not eating. I have more in the air fryer. Man over here cooking 10,000 potatoes and can't eat it.
Sit there and eat till it's done. Give yourself some time to and come start eating. Blah, blah, blah, blah! Doesn't matter, that's yours, Eldin. I don't care what you do with it, as long as they're gone. It's gonna be gone in our prize pool.
If you're going to cry about and not eat it, Eldin, just put it down. Stop acting like a baby. Need to throw it in the refrigerator. Freeze it back out later. Nobody's gonna eat it in the refrigerator. Put it over there. I'll eat it. Stop being a baby. God, look at you!
Cranberries. Cranberries.
The reality was there were still millions of calories left to eat. They weren't leaving anytime soon, and Reyhan was desperate for something to ease his mind.
When you have an entire grocery store, the sky's the limit.
I have an idea. Why don't we make a bird feeder with the seeds that we have in the store? Every morning I go out by the dock and I'm always listening to birds. I have no idea if this will work.
If it pays off, we're feeding all the birds. It also looks like I'm crazy, but I think it'll work fine. Eldin is about to be like, "What are you doing, dude?"
You just woke up today and decided to feed some birds? Well, no, I sit out there every morning. I love just listening to the birds. This is like a spa day. You can literally hear them in the background now. Hopefully, it pays off.
And he would spend the better part of the day waiting. And waiting. And waiting. Until eventually…
No bird? No bird, no nothing! No. No bird? Y'all, shut up.
What's this?
Reyhan, he's a very good guy.
One day, we were at the cashier place and he asked me a question. And he asked me, "If you can read English? Can you read that?" "No." "Can you write?" "No." "Hold on. Here's pen." "I no can spell it." "Try!" And he started to make me a test for the small words.
These are some of the words that we were having trouble with. "I no can spell!" "You're good." "No, no, no, no! I don't!" "You're good. Don't get frustrated if you get it wrong."
I can make the short sentences. It's not perfect, but I do better all the time. Yeah! Good job. Good job, dude! You know how to read.
What started off that he wasn't able to write sentences, he ended up being able to write a huge thank-you letter. Getting this note was one of my best moments. I'm gonna have this for the rest of my life. Thank you very much, Reyhan.
The last few days, Reyhan was so focused on himself and his own family. But Juan's simple letter reminded him that helping another, sometimes a total stranger, can be the greatest reward. Even if we're not able to see it right away.
And it's in that same spirit that I wanted to do something different, not only for our contestants, but for all of you watching as well.
Boys! Jimmy! Yay! Jimmy!
After we dropped the first grocery store video, so many of you asked, "How can I help them make extra money?" And we were like, what if we make a shirt with their faces on it that every time you buy, we split the proceeds with them?
Oh, that's so beast. Man, dude, dude! So if you guys wanna see the shirts… Boys, come on in!
Oh! My God! Ah, man! Hold on! Hold on!
This is the Jackson shirt, Reyhan shirt, the Eldin shirt, and the Juan shirt. You got Majd wearing team green!
I literally have my own face on a MrBeast shirt. Get this shirt. Jimmy's wearing it!
Every time, Juan, they buy this shirt, you get half the proceeds. I say, I love you, everyone!
To celebrate the new shirts, I have one special surprise.
Hey! Woo! Wow! Ah! Let's go! Wow! Oh, my God!
Who wants a shirt?! Me! Let's go! Let's go! Woo!
Thank you for your coming and support this T-shirt!
This is how many people come to this grocery store every day just to see them. These are some of the best contestants we've ever had in our videos. If you wanna support the boys here, just go to MrBeast.store. Every shirt you buy with their face on, half the proceeds go to them.
Do it right now! Go buy now! Woo-hoo!
That was cold. Clip that. All right, this is for you.
Turn it in, turn it in! What the heck?! Yeah, keep going. You're good. You're— You're clear, don't worry about it. Just keep going. All right. Oh! Never mind. Yep! Just keep going. You're good.
It's day 40, boys! Let's go! Watch out, he's coming! Watch out! Woo!
It's day 40, and I brought you grass. Why do you think that is? It's 'cause we haven't seen grass in a hundred days. Maybe to feel like we're outside again? No, none of you are even remotely close.
One, two, three… Come on!
Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey! Hey! Aye! Yeah! Yeah!
Now that we have a mini football field, I'll explain the game. Starting at the ten-yard line, a contestant will be placed onto the field and thrown a football. And if they can catch it with their shopping cart, a football player will be added to their roster for the next 24 hours. And for every ten yards back, an additional football player can be recruited.
If you play this game correctly, you can recruit ten football players to help you eat things in this store for the next 24 hours.
How many calories could you guys eat in a day? A lot! Twenty thousand!
Big guy over there said he could eat twenty thousand calories, so if you had ten of them, you can eat enough food to go home a week early. But who's up first?
Start us off strong, Juan. Go, Juan! Go! Yeah! Woo! Yeah!
I'll be honest, I never played football growing up. I feel a lot of pressure.
Ready, Juan? Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy! Yeah! Yeah! Let's go!
They easily added one football player, now let's see if they can get two more.
Jimmy! Right here. Let's go, Jimmy! Oh, boy… Let's go, Jimmy!
Yeah! Oh! Let's go! Let's go, let's go! Let's go!
Eldin, catch this and you'll get six football players. And this time, the ECU quarterback, Mitch, will be throwing the ball.
Mitch! Mitch! Mitch! Mitch! Mitch! Mitch! Mitch, Mitch…
Whoa! No! No, Eldin! Dang it!
This leaves Jackson! Yeah! Right now you have three football players. This will take it to seven. You catch this, you could get outta here a week early!
That's kinda far, Mitch. Right here… Right here! All right, here we go. Here we go!
Yeah! Yes! Yeah! Let's go!
The ECU quarterback came in clutch! And to maximize their win, they drafted the hungriest, biggest players on the team. And for the next 24 hours, they fed them every calorie imaginable.
We're going to look for some Feastables. Dude!
Dude!
And while the beginning of their 24 hours started strong, eating thousands of calories as quickly as possible actually made them all very sleepy.
But 24 hours is 24 hours whether you're eating, sleeping, or… neither.
So when their time was up, I sent in their coach to get the players out of there.
Where y'all been?! Let's go! A little urgency here! All right, boys, time to get out of here. Let's go!
Yay! Stay, stay. Bro, stay! Bye, guys! Come on! One more night… Coach!
What do we do now? I dunno.
As disappointed as they were for the football players to leave, what I had to do next was even harder to swallow.
You're taking him again?! No way you're taking Juan from us. No, Juan!
That's right, I had to take away Juan to the back of the store to compete in this "Strangers Chained" video right here.
Juan's not with us for a couple days, so… kinda sucks.
And for the next few days, Juan's team would watch him compete. And I won't spoil the ending.
No! No! No!
When it was over—
Boys! I'm returning Juan.
Juan! Welcome back! We missed you! We missed you!
Having Juan back was a huge shot of positive energy.
Go, Juan! Go! Little sketchy…
Which helped them roll straight back into making progress eating the grocery store.
It is looking like the store has been completely wiped out. We're back on track for sure. Juan's just amazing! You can't not like this guy.
And on day 50, I wanted to sweeten the reunion even more. Bring in the family!
Yay!
After months of separation, their families would spend the next 24 hours with them in the store.
Kirsty's making me a little painting. Hello! She hearts me!
I'm in the MrBeast video! We're in the MrBeast video!
Meaning they were doing more than just a simple family visit.
Every hour, food time! Every hour of— Every hour, a smoothie!
Thankfully, my wife is here. I came to eat and help, bro.
This is my wife's cooking, so it's probably gonna be the best cooking we've had here in four months.
Nothing was stopping their families from eating as much as possible, and there was plenty of food to go around.
Yeah, she want her man to come home, boy! Yeah!
More than any other group, their families made the biggest impact on the calories by far. Which just goes to show the ones who truly love you will always have your back.
Bye, kiddos!
Just like that, it's quiet again.
At least we got each other, bro. Nah, I know…
Twenty-four hours went by fast, dude.
Seeing their families lit a massive fire under these guys, now they're pushing their bodies to the absolute limit to clear out this grocery store and get home.
Ever since family day, I've been having a lot of dreams about family. I still hear my, "Daddy, daddy,"
Daddy! Daddy! Daddy…
and I still hear it in their voices. And it's just the best noise in the world.
140 days ago, I came in here. I wasn't going to leave until I made my family proud. Million-dollar pot! Let's bring it home!
To get out fast, they were working out like crazy!
Me and Jacks just got off the treadmill. There's Eldin and Juan on the treadmill right now. We don't stop.
The plan was simple. Burn a lot of calories to eat a lot of calories.
I'm so full it's insane!
These boys were pushing themselves extremely hard to get out of this grocery store. But for one contestant, he might've pushed too hard.
Even with his newfound injury, Juan was determined to not let his ankle weigh him or any of the other guys down.
Juan's foot has been hurting and swollen, so we've been easy on him. We're trying to tell him to ice it and he doesn't really listen.
Juan, you need to go to the bed, bro. You need to rest your foot, Juan. No!
And unfortunately for Juan, that only made things worse.
We're gonna do a fun little baseline test today, just see where you guys are at.
His foot looks like a pineapple…
It's not better. Yeah, let me see. Is this? Still inflamed. Did it hurt to run? Yeah… We're gonna keep you off the treadmill today. I can't have you injured.
Despite everyone telling Juan to rest, he just couldn't sit still.
All right, so Juan's on the move. And we need him to heal. But the man does not stop!
All right, the man needs to lay down. But the thing is, I don't know if you're liking these crutches. So I kinda wanna get him… maybe in a grocery cart?
Go to the kitchen. The kitchen? Yeah! Red light! Green light! Juan, Juan, Juan!
Let's go, twin! Let's go, twins!
These guys I met here have become my lifelong friends. We have grown very close. I've gained an uncle in Juan. And I've gained two brothers with Reyhan and Eldin.
The boys were so busy cheering Juan up that they didn't even realize one of their favorite things was taken away from them.
The dock is locked up! We don't know why…
Not having their only connection to the outside world was really starting to take a toll on the boys. So I figured it was time to tell them why.
I heard you hurt your foot?!
Seeing Juan struggle, I thought I'd do something nice for them.
Remember a couple of days ago when you guys said you'd love to be able to tan outside, go outside, get some direct sunlight?
Get out of here! No way…
Darius, pull it!
Chill out! No way! Yo, no way! Sunlight! Oh, my God!
If you come over here, you'll see that the red line has actually been moved.
Oh, a Blackstone! Wow! Wow, that is crazy!
Have a seat, boys! And come hang out! And to be clear, gentlemen, this is your new red line. So if you touch it like I just did, you're out.
How do you rate the patio? It's awesome! Twenty out of twenty, dude!
I want you guys to enjoy this. Recharge, relax. Because things might get a little hard for the day 60 check-in.
Why? What's going on? Just relax! Just relax. Don't worry about day 60 maybe being the hardest thing ever that we've done. Yeah, but for now, you guys just have fun! I'll let you enjoy it. Go sit down! Don't be so serious!
Why we need your legs, Juan? What's going on?
So the next day the guys banded together to launch Operation Heal Juan.
No, no, no. No "I." No "I"? No "I." No. Because "mi" would be "my."
What are you guys doing? This is one way to keep him sitting here without moving a lot.
And while the boys practice their English, I'm gonna make 'em a smoothie. Let's go! Gonna feed our brains so we can learn!
And the boys even set up a swimming pool for Juan.
Boys are just vibing! Little beach day! I coming, my friend!
For their own version of water therapy. And miraculously, it actually began to work.
Watch out, Juan! Don't fall off the edge, please! God, your ankle! Don't stress me out.
Canned beans. 63,000 in canned beans. This is not bad. Not bad!
Juan was walking around like normal.
I so happy. My foot is a lot better. Whatever is coming, I'll try to do. I don't wanna stop.
It's day 60, and with Juan healed up, it was time for a challenge.
Gentlemen, how badly do you want to get out of this grocery store? So badly! So bad! Take off your blindfolds! Let me introduce you to the golden treadmill.
Yo, wow! That's tough.
Now, here's the deal. When you're ready, a 24-hour counter will begin. There's currently 2.4 million calories in this store, and when you start the timer, the number will go down and down and down. And whatever the number is at when you cross 100 miles, I will take that many calories out of the store and give it to people in need.
Let's go! But if you fail to run 100 miles in 24 hours, I won't take any calories out of the store.
Who's gonna kick it off? Wait, I need shoes. I'm glad you asked! Boys, bring 'em on in! Oh, man! Oh, yeah! We got some shoes!
These aren't just any shoes, these are Kiziks, some of the most comfortable shoes on the planet. I literally wear Kiziks every single day. I'm curious what you guys think.
These are light! Dude, they feel great! One of the best parts about Kiziks is your foot just slides right in. You think you can do 100 miles in these? Oh, yeah! No more tying shoes. Who ties shoes anymore?
Get 15% off my favorite Kizik styles at Kizik.com/MrBeast. I say we get right into it. Back to the cool lighting!
Gentlemen, who's kicking this off? I can. Juan, you wanna go? I can go! All right, Juan! Hit quick start.
And we've begun! Okay, as you see, the calories are now going down and your 100 miles will start going up right here. If you finish the 100 miles right now, I would pull 2.4 million calories out of the store.
What pace are you running at? Seven. Oh, he's running at seven. If you maintained a seven this entire time, that would be insane. I don't think you can do it.
He's fine. He's comfortable. But if Juan pulls a muscle or something, you're down a competitor. Dude, we gotta do it in cycles. You let us know whenever you want, we just jump on and we go. Sure! Just go like that.
And to make sure no one was pushing too hard, I brought in their trainer, John.
How you feeling? Good! Yeah? How many miles can you go? I can go five miles. Five? Your ankle okay?
Have you guys calculated how you're gonna break it up? Uh-uh. No. We gotta figure that out. Yeah.
And as Juan was approaching his first mile, a plan had been formulated.
1% done! Only 99 more to go! Eldin, get up there. Get up there! Be careful.
Right now, our strategy is basically, each person runs a mile while the others rest.
Gotta get off. Gotta get on! Yeah! Let's go!
To maintain their stamina, not only would they switch runners every mile, but they would also set up a refuel station with water and snacks, and get plenty of rest in between sets.
They're running at an insane pace. Do you think they'll be able to keep it up?
At mile thirty this pace might be manageable, but this is four marathons in one. They're gonna hit a wall. I'm gonna say mile fifty. We're gonna see 'em start to slow down.
And almost exactly as John had predicted it.
Halfway there.
The exhaustion started to kick in and the pace slowed down.
Be careful. Is this the hardest challenge of your life, Juan? This far, it's just my knee. Yeah.
I've never ran this much in my life. First mile ever was literally done a couple days ago.
But slowing down too much was not an option because although this was a test of endurance, this was also a race against the clock. The longer they take, the faster the calorie counter ticks by and the more their bodies would break down.
Just got a cramp! Ow!
You're not that tired?
And we are officially under one million calories. That's not good.
If they couldn't keep up their pace, the counter could hit zero, and they would have suffered all this running for nothing. No amount of massaging or running aids were going to get them across the finish line. Each of these men had to dig down deep and remember what they were doing this for.
I'm proud of my dad. I know he's doing this for us.
I wanna see my parents! If I run a little bit more, the quicker I get to see 'em.
I'm just one step closer to getting home to my best friend, Casey.
Daddy!
You see, Tarzan went on. I promise you!
I'm running home.
And since you're all on your last mile
We brought in a bunch of masseuses for you. Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
Yeah! Loosen 'em up. Eldin, get ready. Go, switch! Thank God! Now you can lay down right here. Hey, go get a massage. You're done, champ!
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Final mile!
Yeah! Woo!
We had a more athletic group try this and their number was 350,000. By all estimates, you absolutely crushed all the tests. Let's go! You killed it!
With no time wasted, the boys gathered the 600,000 calories that will not only feed those in need, but also take a little off their own plate.
And this is 600,000 calories of food! Let's go! This would have taken forever to eat. At least two months. Dude, this is amazing! People are getting fed and we're a little closer to emptying the store.
Thank you so much, MrBeast! We really appreciate this, thank you!
All 600,000 calories are outta the store. We're gettin' closer and closer to winning this shopping cart full of money!
Since they managed to give so much food to those in need, I thought I'd give them a couple more mouths to feed.
These are my friends, Jim and Monika. They're competing in a video where they drive all the way around the world in this Lamborghini, they get to keep it. It comes out later this year.
Welcome to the grocery store! But don't get out of the car, you're takin' it inside. Yeah! We in! No freakin' way!
All right, you go eat. Lemme sit in that thing real quick.
Jim and Monika can't leave the grocery store until they eat at least 10,000 calories.
Do they get to help? No! You two have to eat 10,000 calories. Monika looks so sad.
Lemme see what sitting in the Lambo feels like.
I can make a smoothie, it's about 5,000 calories right now. What's in it?
Oh, my God. This is a dream come true!
What is he doing? What is he doing? What is he doing, actually? What is he doing?
While Eldin was going on a joyride, the boys made Jim and Monika a delicious meal.
First grocery store smoothie. It's great. Yeah. And another. And another. And another. Oh, my God, dude, I'm so full.
Maybe we could do a whole pasta spaghetti thing.
What? Oh, my God, bro! I cannot believe this. All these guys do is eat, they work out, and they poop. That's it. That's all they do here!
Ten thousand calories later, Jim and Monika are free to leave. Which reminded the boys that life outside of the grocery store keeps moving. Especially for Juan, who needed to get something off his chest.
How long have you done it? How many years? Twenty-five years. You've been going every year for 25 years and you're missing now?
Juan spent the last couple of days isolated from the group, barely eating a single calorie because after competing for over 150 days, Juan started to realize how much he's missed.
Juan, you wanna go outside? I want to go home.
But I made sure Juan wasn't going to miss his tradition. Bring 'em in!
Hey, Juan! Bro, this is my guy!
So I brought Juan's soccer tournament to him.
Hey, ho! Hey, ho! Woo! Woo! Yeah!
Juan! Juan! Juan! Juan, Juan!
And of course, I let them eat for the rest of the evening, which Juan's friends and family helped take out 55,000 calories.
But even with the help of Juan's friends, they still had quite a ways to go.
Juan, there's a lotta food left. It is what it is. I have to eat it.
We donated so many beans and we still have so many beans! We're starting to eat stuff that we don't really want to eat because it's nasty.
We're about to try some onion juice. It smells like a high school gym locker room. Juan, do you think this is a good idea? We'll see. All right, boys.
Jimmy! Boys! Been a minute! I'm here to try a world-class smoothie.
So we got some pumpkin protein powder, some rice cakes, five servings of maple syrup. Jimmy's like, what did I sign myself up for? Oh, God. It's organic, so it's good for you.
Do you think a chocolate bar would make it taste good? Oh, yeah! It's not gonna hurt nothing.
We're giving our camera team some. Here you go! Cheers. We're getting everyone involved. Cheers. Cheers!
Yeah, it's not too bad. It's not bad, right? The pumpkin taste is actually making it taste good.
I miss the Lambo so bad. Look at this skid mark I did with the Lambo, it's sick!
What kinda cars you guys like? Sports car would be awesome. Yeah, I'm thinkin' I want a sports car. Reyhan, what about you? I want more kids, so I definitely need an SUV.
All right, gentlemen. I overheard you talking about cars? Boys, bring it on in!
Jackson, is this the car you've been talking about? Yes, dude! It is! Oh, my gosh!
Reyhan, what do you think of this bad boy? Put all the kids in this! Look, that's dope! I like! Yes? I like it for you!
To win these cars, you'll face off against the number one competitive eater to ever exist in the history of the universe! Joey Chestnut!
Yeah! What? Oh, no! Jimmy, how are we supposed to compete with that?
I'm joining your team. It's us five and eight pounds of beans versus Joey and sixteen pounds of beans. If there's one single bean on this side when he finishes all his beans, we lose. And by the way, sixteen pounds of beans is a world record.
Grocery boys on three! One, two, three! Grocery boys!
Okay.
Fantastic slurp! Wow, he is slurping.
Okay, Joey already one bowl down. One bowl down, one bowl down! Just eat your beans faster, man. Jackson is downing these beans.
Who needs help? Who needs help? Jimmy, come here. Watch out, Jimmy! I got you, bro. I haven't even finished one. Drink that bean juice.
Let's go, let's go! Juan is going! Juan is not stopping! Good job, man! Joey, how are you doing this, bro?
Yo, Jimmy, stop! Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy! Jackson! Jackson! Jackson! Jackson, help! Jackson, help!
Jimmy! Hurry up!
Is that it? Are we good? I think they've done it— We did it! Woo! Yeah!
Losing the competition didn't even faze Joey because he was competing on a whole other level.
Joey just won another world record, and each of you just won a brand-new car! Let's go! Whoa!
They are now officially under one million calories. Yay! They're almost out of this grocery store! Let's go! Which means they have now eaten 75% of the calories in this store.
I'm so happy. Never did I expect to be in a grocery store or get a car in a grocery store, let alone, so this is awesome!
So, my wife's been needing a car and boom!
And I knew the boys would love their new cars, but I didn't realize they'd love 'em this much.
Let's go to the gym! Let's go, boys! Let's go! Let's get to work. We're here!
We got a ten fifteen in progress right now. We got— We're in pursuit right now. We got a blue Silverado. License plate is J-U-A-N.
Please step out of the vehicle. What do we have here? Fifteen Cookies and Cream Feastables. Here, so we will be taking these boys down to the county jail.
How we get caught, bro? You eat too much is why! This is a blatant disregard for the rules— Oh, my God. They're running— They're running away! They're running!
And after Eldin got out of jail, the boys thought of a new way to make even more room for their cars.
We decided to move everything from over there to right here. Let's get it. We ready? Let's do it.
So the shelf is gone. Whole new store. Let's go!
Winning these cars was more than just fun and games. It was a physical reminder of the amazing team that the Grocery Store Four had become, and it helped them realize how much they need each other.
Without Juan, I don't know. Juan is just— He's cleaning all the time. He's always up. Without him, this place would be not right.
Jacks, he's our, basically, someone to look up to in the gym. He's always killin' it with weights. Eldin, thank you for always making me laugh. Everybody here has a part and it's just amazing.
And that was my chance to remind these friends where it all began.
Boys! It's day one hundred! Day a hundred! Woo! Let's go, let's go!
So what do you think's about to happen? Hopefully a way to get some calories out of the store. Come on inside! Woo! Yeah!
It's the contestants from the first grocery store video.
One hundred and eighty-nine days ago, completely random strangers walked into this grocery store and unknowingly entered a contest for $250,000, and it quickly turned into the most chaotic video we've ever made.
Oh, no! No! Hey, guys! Gunner brought Juan something. Oh, let's go! Oh, wow! Okay. Juan, open it up! Okay.
So why did you bring him new ones? Don't do that, my friend! I think he needed some pots and pans.
And I brought back all these contestants from the first video because starting now, the one-hour timer just started, they can help you eat food for the next hour. Let's go! Boys, put 'em to work!
If y'all want to stay here and cook, just stay here. And the other half, we're just gonna go over there and we're gonna find things in the store to make one giant table.
In the first video, this was Fort Freezy. Fort Freezy! It's a gym now! I wish we had this before.
Xavian, this is the aisle that you were living in during the original video. Yeah! It doesn't look much of an aisle anymore. Yeah, do you miss it? I miss torturing them!
Why don't we wake up and smell the roses? Hey, everybody, it's time to eat.
I missed you guys so, so much. We actually talk about you a lot. And then also, I'm just grateful for all the help because we want to get home as soon as we can. We've been here for over six months and we are tired.
Tell me this doesn't bring y'all back to the first video. Eating together. He's still the same, guys! The first time, we all ate together every day. Yeah, let's do it again because we need y'all's help.
Yo, do we look different? Yeah! Physique-wise, y'all look like you've been working out. Yeah, you finally went and bulked up!
Juan, how's it feel to see 'em all here helping you out? I'm so happy to see the face again and stay right here together in the grocery store. Yay! Yes! Woo! Let's dig in! Woo! Let's go!
All of you came here to buy groceries, and four of you never left. Restock the store! And every bite you take right now helps them get outta here sooner. To the grocery boys!
And with that, everybody, time is up! Bye! Bye, guys!
Seeing the people the boys came in together with made me realize it's not 100 days they've been in this grocery store,
It's not 100 days they've been in this grocery store, it's actually 190 days! Because while we were restocking the store, they had to wait around for another 22 days. And it made them realize they had to get out of here… now.
So, editors, can put it on Jackson's chest? We have this many calories! Get up out of here.
Today was the last day of the blender. No more. We're done. We're done!
Frozen eggs… You won't like it, but we gotta eat it. When it comes to day zero, I'm ready to go home.
It's the last bit of shrimp. I know there's one person that's super happy here. Why not?
We're almost there. This close to being there. Jimmy, see ya soon, brother!
Four months ago, we said, "Once we get to the steak, we're gonna know we won." And now… we're at the steak! This is the dinner tonight!
And while the boys celebrated seeing the finish, Jackson's thoughts went towards a new beginning.
After a long thought process of being here for a while… I think I've made up my mind. I think I wanna propose to my girlfriend. I think she's the one.
And he was excited to share his plan with everyone. I love that for you, man. Well… except for two very important people.
I have to ask my girlfriend's parents if I can propose to her. And I'm super nervous.
And the thought of asking was giving him a lot of anxiety. God, there's no telling what they're gonna say.
Boys! Jimmy! Jimbo!
So I thought I would just make it happen.
Hi, how's it going, guys? Hey! I'm gonna hand you over to Jackson. He has something he wants to ask you guys.
Hey, guys. Hi. I do have a very important question for you guys. I'm a little nervous to do this, but you raised a really beautiful daughter. She really means the world to me. And I was just curious to see if I could ask your daughter… if I could ask you… if I ask your permission to marry your daughter.
Oh… Oh, my… Yes! Yes! Whoa! That was quick! Let's go! Let's go!
I mean, now that we have a yes, bring in the ring!
She was big on keeping it unique, so… Yeah. We can do another one? I think the oval is the one. The big decision! This one's the one. Okay.
Juan, you have a ring on, right? No, no. Got no ring. Do you want to buy your wife a ring as well? We got it right here. Yeah? I can? Yeah! Let's get your wife a ring! Wait, what?
Just look at it. See what you think. Hold it close. I think that this is… It's pretty! I like it! Yeah! Yeah. Okay!
Thank you, Jimmy, so much. I love it, and she's gonna love it, too. I know it's the one. I know she's the one. So thank you, Jimmy!
With the boys so close to reaching the end, it was time to celebrate their greatest accomplishments.
Over the last 110 days, you guys have been wearing your Google Fitbit Air trackers paired with the Google Health app, and they agreed to share the data with us so we could see what you were the most exceptional at. Starting with who burned the most calories.
Drum roll, please! Ba dum tss! That's not a drum roll, but I'll take it.
The winner… Jackson! Yeah! Let's go! Burned 451,299 calories. Thank you, thank you!
This next one, the Fitbit Air not only tracks your calories burned in exercise, but also tracks your recovery. Which is why our next award is Most Hours Slept… Eldin! Let's go! 1,054 hours and 4 minutes slept. Oh, my gosh!
For our next trophy, we have the Most Calories Cooked. And with the Google Health app, you can take a photo of any food or scan any item and it'll tell you all the nutritional data of what you're eating.
Reyhan! Let's go! Yay! Thank you, Jimmy. For Most Calories Cooked: 2,011,555.
Our last trophy for Most Steps Taken… the winner… is Juan! Juan! Yeah! 2,735,000 steps. Juan, congratulations. Thank you! Thank you, Jimmy! Congratulations! Thank you very much.
And I also wanna share that each of you have also won a lifetime subscription to Google Health Premium, with your own personal health coach. Yo! So all the gains you made at the grocery store you can maintain outside in the real world. Never taking this thing off! Ba dum tss!
Big number time again. Under 50,000 calories remaining. Two days left. Almost 4.3 million calories have officially been eaten, and only 6,614 went to waste.
Knowing they had a day's worth of food left, Reyhan prepped what would be their final meal.
One of the best things my mom did was to teach me how to make bread. This is gonna be a really special last meal.
And he also had one last surprise. I've been saving this for this day. What? Y'all ready to TP the place?
All right, throw me one. Go ahead, throw me one! I've been saving these! Let's go! Last time we did this, we thought we were going home.
I know at a glance this looks like boredom or another mindless act of self-destruction. But this was a callback. They were actually restoring a memory of where they came from and everything they'd been through.
Let's go! Boys, we're going home tomorrow! Last night in the grocery store! We're going home!
After over 200 days, this is their last day in the grocery store. And their story had reached way beyond the walls of the store. Countless fans came and stood in the rain to watch them eat their final meal.
Woo! Oh, man… All right, boys!
Show me all the calories left in the store. Let's go. How many calories are left? 3,882.
After this—we're going home! We're done! You're done! In front of everyone you know and love and half our city.
202 days ago, these four men stepped in this grocery store to buy food. And now, after outlasting over 90 people, the final meal is upon us.
Eat! Eat! Eat! Eat! Eat! Eat! Eat! Eat!
To the final meal, cheers! Eat! Eat! Eat! Eat! Eat! Eat! Eat! Eat! Cheers.
So this is more than just eating food. Woo!
I'm literally shaking, I'm so excited to get outta here. It's a big day! I'm literally looking at my kids and I'm tryna stuff my face right now.
And now the last bite! Woo! After this, you're done! Let's go home! Eat it! Eat it! Eat it! Yeah! Let's go!
You're free to leave! Are you sure you're ready? Three, two, one!
Two hundred days ago, I decided to do one of the craziest social experiments in history to find out what would happen if total strangers tried to outlast each other in a grocery store. And then four of them stayed and chose to eat their way out. And what ended up happening was, honestly… I don't know why I'm telling you this myself.
I'm gonna miss you, boys. It's our last night, bro. It's gonna be wild. I don't even know how tomorrow's gonna feel like. Stepping out? We've been in here for so long, and now just jump right back to life, you know?
The fact that we're with each other every single day for 24 hours straight. No other persons. I couldn't have done this with nobody else, honestly. And to think that we came in here not knowing each other. And look at us now. Best buds! Best friends forever. Yeah!
You guys just won one million dollars! Woo!
Oh, I can't even—what is going on?!
I missed you! I know! Daddy! Yeah? We go home now?! Yeah!
Yay! I love you! You're a beautiful woman. I love you, too!
We've grown together. Moved in together. There's one thing left to do.
Aw! Woo! Yeah! Say yes! Yes, I do! Yay! Woo!
What a crazy way to end the video. That's insane!
