Previously, the vegetable candy product was a big hit on social media because Quang Linh Vlogs advertised "one candy is equivalent to a plate of vegetables".

Along with Quang Linh Vlogs and Hang Du Muc, Miss Thuy Tien was also "called out" by the online community when she participated in advertising for Kera vegetable candy. Previously, she promoted this product as a convenient, nutritious solution, with many quality certifications, suitable for children and adults.

After that, a consumer posted a video saying that he had brought the vegetable candy product of Miss Thuy Tien in collaboration with Quang Linh Vlogs and Hang Du Muc's company to the National Institute for Quality Measurement for testing. The results showed that 30 pills (equivalent to one box) only had a fiber content of 0.51 grams.
