Khloé Kardashian has officially released her latest business venture, a protein popcorn brand, and posted a video tour of her massive pantry to promote it. However, it did not go over well.
In honor of releasing her new Khloud Protein Popcorn, the reality star shared a “pantry tour” video on social media with bags of her popcorn filling the food-packed space. This isn’t the first time she’s shown off her extremely organized pantry to give her viewers inspiration for how to sort things. Still, this time around, she received a lot of backlash, as internet users said the video was “ridiculous” and “out of touch,” given how expensive groceries are these days.

Khloé Kardashian Posts A Pantry Tour To Promote Her Popcorn Brand
The Kardashians star recently released her protein popcorn brand, Khloud, which is said to have seven grams of protein per serving and comes in various flavors, including kettle corn, white cheddar, and olive oil & sea salt. While promoting her new food brand, she and her team thought it would be a good idea to do a pantry tour, showing off her large, organized, fully-stocked pantry, which includes a designated shelf for numerous bags of her popcorn, which cost around $5 each.
The video, which was uploaded to Khloé's social media accounts like Instagram and YouTube, takes place in her extra-large pantry, which some internet users said was the size of their living rooms. Her shelves were packed and neatly organized with different food products, from cookie snack packs to "olives for martinis" to dried goods like pasta. She also had a large bowl full of fresh fruit and two wall shelves stocked explicitly with bottles of high-end sparkling water.
"This is where all the magic happens," says Khloé at the start of her tour video.
Internet Users Slam Khloé's Pantry Tour Video As 'Out Of Touch'
While it's no secret that most celebrities you see on television and social media are living extravagant, luxurious lives, many internet users believe the mom-of-two's video displaying her copious amount of fresh and packaged foods was "out of touch" and "excessive," given the times we are living in.
For many people, groceries are more expensive than ever, which is why watching the Good American founder walk through her "apartment-sized," loaded pantry upset many, even if it was supposed to be a light-hearted video that her loyal fanbase "requested." When the video was uploaded to social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube, internet users flooded the comments section to let the television personality know they were not pleased to see material like that from her.
"This is so over the top," wrote an Instagram user. "Flaunting her wealth when people are literally starving and struggling to feed their families is just wrong."
"So, your pantry is bigger than my whole house," added a user, while another wrote, "I can't afford eggs and my fridge is empty."
Internet users also went off on Khloé on other platforms like Reddit, where someone created a viral post about the video after stating that she was "completely out of touch."
"I hated the video," commented a Reddit user.
"What's the point of this?" asked another. "There's no way they're going to consume all that. How out of touch, how ridiculous."
While the popcorn brand founder has noted in the past that she loves entertaining people and now has two children to feed, many of her viewers would argue that her pantry is still "excessive" and feel that she shouldn't be showing it off when many people are struggling to eat in the world.
Khloé has not acknowledged the backlash she's received on her seven-minute-long pantry tour, but for now, she's continuing to promote her new popcorn products with a smile on her face.
