On March 10, 2019, they uploaded a video titled “Does Oliver prefer ice cream or chicken nuggets?”, in the video they gave Oliver both ice cream and chicken nuggets to see which one he’d prefer.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTfxHEcyaWc&t Some comments on the video were concerned about Oliver’s health. Three days later, they responded with a video titled “Does Oliver prefer broccoli or cauliflower?”, where they addressed the viewers’ concerns. They stated at the beginning of the video that they shared the same concerns and too wanted Oliver to be healthy, and they didn’t feed him unhealthy foods very often, and encouraged the viewers to follow them and the concerned viewers’ constructive criticisms. In this video, they ended up feeding him only healthy foods this time. The videos both still performed well, and the incident is now in the past.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7JsSRhJB2k&t=19s
