In the video, Benny Blanco confessed to never having tried food from the establishment and provided some insight into his background, mentioning, “Not a lot of you know but my stepmom is from the Philippines so I grew up eating a sh*t load of Filipino food.”
Throughout the three-minute video, Blanco tried various items from Jollibee’s menu, including spaghetti, chicken, adobo rice, and pineapple juice. However, accusations of disrespect surfaced as the video depicted him criticizing the food and even spitting out the spaghetti.
