One of the things I didn’t like about Crumbl is how they use a fourth of a cookie to list their nutrition facts to make it seem that they are not that bad. They’ve now added the nutritional facts for a full cookie.
To be fair, I can rarely finish their cookies in a single sitting. One cookie, imo, is at least two servings. One quarter is probably stretching it though.
What, no mention of their absurd prices? $5 for a single cookie is absurd, regardless of whether or not someone likes soft doughy cookies. Even if someone doesn't want to make cookie dough, the store bought pre-prepped name brand cookie dough is less than $5 for 12 small cookies.
$5 is really not absurd considering the ingredients, overhead, labor, etc and inflation. You're just cheap. And for the record Crumbl is disgusting and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I got food poisoning the only time i tried one.
There are 2 people. People who heard of crumble from social media and love it and have to have it. Then there are people who had them without all hype and dont want to pay $6 for a medium rare cookie.
My sister is absolutely nuts over these cookies. So I tried one when I visited her. They're not terrible, but they certainly don't live up to the hype. Underbaked and oversweetened. These business bros could have partnered with an actual baker or recipe developer to produce a quality product from the start, but who needs knowledge and expertise when you have Tiktok to brainwash your customer base?
The red flag is that the founders didn't know how to bake beforehand. If you have no experience with recipe development, there's no way you'd be able to churn out recipes the way they have without quality issues.
Do you think that at this point they have learned? Or hired people who know how to bake cookies? It's not rocket science - and rocket science can be learned.
Yeah "a passion for branding" rather than a passion for baking? That's a no from me. (I'm biased. I'm a *very* passionate home baker who occasionally sells under cottage laws.)
I’ve never tried them on principle alone. I just can’t understand why we are frosting cookies with such a thick layer of icing in the first place. A good cookie depends on the flavor balance. Sugar on sugar on sugar isn’t appealing.
Totally agree, their cookies are way too soft. While I understand that there are soft cookie lovers out there I think a good cookie needs that outside crunch and a good inside chew. Just one overall texture in a cookie is boring, especially if I'm paying a shit ton for one cookie.
And how braindead the general public is. "Hmm, these taste terrible, but the guy on tiktoc said they're great! Must be something wrong with ME. Maybe its an acquired taste, I'll just have to buy more!" 😆
Dirty Dough used the ad we're so good that we're being sued. If it wasn't for the lawsuit I never would have tried Crave and Dirty Dough. Crumbl did a great job advertising for them. It was fun seeing my hometown on Weird History.
I haven't tried Crumbl's products, but I give them style points for starting in Utah, which is the number one state in consumption of sweets in the US. Debbie Fields may have started in Palo Alto, CA, but when she expanded her business, she moved to Utah. Note that Crumbl's other main competitors are also based in Utah.
I used to drive by Debbie Field's corporate office all the time. And every time my will power would remind me of how much I love Mrs. Field's cookies. They are pure bliss; right out of the oven.🤍🍪🍪🍪🤍
@@coyotelong4349cookies and secret coffee. The other LDS gateway drug.😅 And so many other things they lie about behind closed doors when they think no one else is looking.
I have always gone by a gram of sugar is the equivalent size of a raisin. Your saying 76 grams. And I think 76 raisins. By looking at it this way, it helped me say that's too much sugar and walk away.
I wanted to try one but couldn't bring myself to pay $5 for one cookie. Also, their calorie displays aren't really accurate. For example, it says 160 calories under the cookie name, but if you are one of the few to read the fine print, you realize that for them 160 calories is per serving not per cookie, & for them a serving is a 4th of the cookie :/ who is cutting a cooking in fourths?
@@WomanTakenBytheWind Firstly, where in the world is a 4th of a cookie a cookie serving? Secondly, they don't outright say it, they advertise 160 calories as if it's for the whole cookie unless you read the fine print.
Don’t worry they are so sweet you cant eat more than a fourth. They are so full of sugar it is like they are raw because they baking ingredients are not balanced. I will pay a lot for a good cookie. In Orlando we have Giddieons that are $6-8 a cookie but one the cookies are amazing and two they are a half pound each. I cant remember the exact price. It is either 6 or 8. But we get them because they are so good and we can freeze them if we wont be around to get them in a while. Also they have great flavors, a bit chocolate heavy but great.
I was going to school in Utah when Crumbl was founded. The cofounder cousins were business associates of some of my roomates (they worked for Aptiv pest control). One thing this video doesn’t cover is the fact that Crumbl essentially stole their business model from a Provo based cookie franchise called Chip (whose model was also a copy cat, gotta love Utah’s “entrepreneurs”). My suspicion was they opened first in Logan to avoid controversy with Chip, but they soon expanded all over Utah. When in college we had a friend who would bring us dozens of their cookies after closing. They are not the best I have ever had, but they were an awesome treat for a cash strapped group of 10-12 guys living in one home together! In the end, no one has copyrights on chocolate chip cookies, so I say let them bake!
Crumbl is proof that some people would eat anything. I've never been interested in an undercooked, hostess textured cookie. Soft cookies also don't need icing.
The one thing I know about crumble cookie is that if gotten directly from the store, they have a severe extended shelve life of 7 weeks before the texture starts to dull out which is impressive
0:52 "This flawless dessert slash breakfast slash really anytime of the day food" A+ work for sneaking that breakfast thing in like no one's going to question it
Why. You don't know if it's their competitors creating these negative comments. You can't be so adolescent that you'll let people on the Internet deciding for you. I've tried crumbl and they're the best cookies I've ever had. If I listened to people on social media, I wouldn't go to a movie, read a book, go to certain shopping centers, etc.@@Lawrence_Talbot
Lol, I live in the middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania, so there's no Crumbl stores around me. Matter of fact, this is the first I've heard of them. Probably because I have never looked at TikTok or Instagram either. TH-cam is my limit of internet media. From the sound of it, I certainly haven't missed much. 😂😂
They are some of the worst, flavorless crap 'cookies' Ive ever had. The cookies themselves have no flavor but rely on whatever overly sugar infused topping it is on it. Why people love these things is beyond me.
My daughter worked there (in Maryland) for 2 years in high school. The turnover was high. They got paid about $12/ hour and “tips” were supposed to make up the rest but she never received the tips. The manager kept them. They all tasted the same after a while. She was really good at icing and decorating and taught other new hires. But she was so happy to get a new job and leave. Also- men were paid higher in her store and many Mormons (it’s a Mormon company) were brought from Utah to work there. She and other women there were harassed by a coworker who said “it’s ok because I’m gay” but when it was reported to management multiple times- he stayed on and a couple girls left. My daughter tried not to work with him. Not because he’s gay. She has many lgbt friends-just didn’t want to be touched or hugged by this guy… or sniffed. He was a bit over stepping.
I had never heard of CRUMBL until recently, but there are apparently NINE stores within 45 minutes of me, all opened within the past 3 or 4 years. I can't see that number of locations being sustainable. Maybe 2 or 3 of those franchises will survive, but not 9 of them.
0:53 Chocolate Chip cookies are the favorite of Keith Miller from the channel Our 80s Life. What a great pick for a favorite food, they are so amazing!
3:13 Don Sanchez?! Been to my local Crumbl once, just to see what the hype was about. Yes the cookies are much too sweet and so expensive, packaging is wasteful, and employees have that Stepford/Disney saccharine vibe. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. It's just a matter of time.
I have a Otis Spunkmeyer oven. I used it just a few days back to make a couple cookies. I wish I could buy their frozen dough yet can't. I use anything I can buy from the store. Have not made my own frozen yet. Though I am sure I could pretty easy.
Its because people arent willing to bake. Cookies are one of the easiest things to make. If you wanna level it up it usually just couple more steps or ingredients. But people arent willing to spend 50 to 60 bucks to make 60-120 cookies. (Depending on size). Obviously you dont have to bake them all at once.
I didn't know Crumbl was a thing until last year when someone bought a few boxes in to my work office. I took 2 of them. Took me 5 days to finish both because they were so sweet my teeth hurt after eating a few bites. I just had my teeth fixed that year and still couldn't handle the sugar in them.
It’s because they are sold both warm and soft, and have fun flavours that rotate so you are forced to try new flavours instead of simply wondering what that flavour you were eyeing is like but never trying it.
My girlfriend introduced me to Crumbl. I think theyre ok personally. we only get them once in a blue moon or during a celebration. They taste fine to me and i always consider them a celebratory dessert
While the cookies themselves are kinda garbage, the concepts aren't. I've made copycats of several cookies that were actually really smeggin' good. Basically, ditch the corpo cookie and make your own... or at least find a corpo that doesn't under-cook its product.
I just commented about this on another video😂! Brands are using outrage/'critique' as marketing! Some guy on TikTok called bee better is said to be a paid to criticize brands, which then 'correct' their mistake to seem 'close to customers'. Another marketer confirmed that anytime a brand is mentioned it's an ad!
Bought one of their cookies at the airport in Chicago, was super happy to be able to be able to check of another item on my US bucket list last minute. I had one of those sugar coolies with the pink frosting and was super shocked to find that it wasn't just super sweet, that's what I expected, but salty as hell!! I had a similar experience with pancakes at Denny's.. why does sweet food have to be so salty in the US? We also add a pinch of salt to most sweet foods here in Germany but you are barely supposed to notice it.
Crumbl is disgusting. I ordered crumbl 6 times over a few years. As a person who likes slightly undercooked/soft cookies, every single fucking time these damn things were RAW. NOT UNDERCOOKED. Crazy defenders in the comments can say whatever they want but these were RAW. They were like playdough with the essence of raw flour and glob of icing on top. I even resorted to scraping the icing off and putting them in the oven. The "weekly rotation" is very repetitive and it seems _every_ damn cookie has cream cheese (which I love, but it has become too much) and the same generic base. I have not ordered crumbl in 1 yr+ and plan to keep it that way. 20 bucks for playdough. I can't believe I tried to make excuses for their shitty quality.
How about doing a vid on the history of Girl Scout cookies? When did they come into prevalence? Who designs and names them? Which Girl Scout or chapter has sold the most?
Its a good cookie and hits the spot when you want a quick dessert. The pink icing one tastes like how my grandma use to make it. Also like all their flavors on rotation. Obviously you shouldn't eat it everyday but if you have some self control its a nice treat !
11:33 I used to have the book Secret of the Ooze (1991) by B.B. Hiller (read before watching the film). At the bottom of the book cover it says "IT'S THE SEQUEL, DUDES!"
8:38 Womp Womp the kids got experience in the baking scene I see this as a win for them sure you don’t have to ur left pinky but now you know how to make amazing chocolate chip cookies and !GINGERSNAPS! 💀
They are highly over-rated and that's not why I check their website every Monday to see if there's a new flavour I can't live without. Damn you Crumbl!
Honestly I’m happy for these guys. They seem happy, and their cookies are genuinely enjoyable (at least the ones I’ve tried). Yes they are stupidly unhealthy and sweet but there’s days where an over the top sweet dessert sounds amazing. Something they need to do though is bake there cookies for a longer time. Maybe they can offer a gooey cookie option instead of always baking them that way. Best of luck to them, mistakes happen and they should be able to learn from them.
The Turtle Cookie isn’t bad and the Reese’s chip is my favorite. They make a good breakfast or beginning of shift snack although it is usually bought by a patient’s family member after they have passed on. Marking the start of a rough shift.
10:15 I never heard of these cookies and I knew why when they showed this map. There isn't any bakeries within 100 or 150 miles from me. Let's see if this startup lasts long enough to be as ubiquitous as McDonald's. (I doubt it.)
For the type of cookie they are making they are pretty good but if soft cookies are not your thing or you do have a sensitivity to sweetness it's understandable that people hate them. For me it's the steep prices. I don't know how to bake to a high degree but I can read well enough to find one of a myriad of recipes online and bake my own cookies for about as much.
My sister was all excited one day, saying “Oh, look we got a Crumbl Cookie now!”. And I said “A what?”. Disappointed to learn for being a new hip place they hadn’t bothered to find allergy friendly options. Can’t even try one if I wanted to. Let me know when a cookie chain makes dairy free ones.
One of the things I didn’t like about Crumbl is how they use a fourth of a cookie to list their nutrition facts to make it seem that they are not that bad. They’ve now added the nutritional facts for a full cookie.
That's just suspicious. Everyone knows cookies aren't good for you. Why be sketchy?
It's illegal if they don't list the nutritional value. It's a law people.

The name sounds like a silicon valley software tech startup.
And just like start-up companies, they exist just to be sold to another company, not to provide anything of meaningful value.

Cookie ice cream sandwiches are the thing that needs to be talked about
only if u want a heart attack from all that sugar
@@anonymousYTviewer69 if it’s made by Crumbl
@@Woffies2 sugar from ANYWHERE is all the same

You can get one cookie at subway or McDonald's, only a 1 bucks before taxes, I think at least 3 for around 1.99 before taxes too
11:11 It does NOT sound like he said “buckeye brownie,” here. 🤣
That's what I hear. What did it sound like for you?
Bought one of their cookies at the airport in Chicago, was super happy to be able to be able to check of another item on my US bucket list last minute. I had one of those sugar coolies with the pink frosting and was super shocked to find that it wasn't just super sweet, that's what I expected, but salty as hell!! I had a similar experience with pancakes at Denny's.. why does sweet food have to be so salty in the US? We also add a pinch of salt to most sweet foods here in Germany but you are barely supposed to notice it.
Crumbl is disgusting. I ordered crumbl 6 times over a few years. As a person who likes slightly undercooked/soft cookies, every single fucking time these damn things were RAW. NOT UNDERCOOKED. Crazy defenders in the comments can say whatever they want but these were RAW. They were like playdough with the essence of raw flour and glob of icing on top. I even resorted to scraping the icing off and putting them in the oven.
The "weekly rotation" is very repetitive and it seems _every_ damn cookie has cream cheese (which I love, but it has become too much) and the same generic base. I have not ordered crumbl in 1 yr+ and plan to keep it that way. 20 bucks for playdough. I can't believe I tried to make excuses for their shitty quality.
People who eat these have the palette of a spoiled child
This vid a sponsored ad?
Seems to be.
This is not the first WHF video to focus on a brand or company.
I doubt it, this channel always focuses on brands of food
It would be weird if it were because of the mention of labor violations and the lack of baking experience.
@@brad3042 yeah, a dead giveaway they didn't watch the video
0:01 I remember the song "C is for Cookie" from Sesame Street!
Sesame Street memories are such great memories...
Crumbl sounds like a dating service for foodies😂
How about doing a vid on the history of Girl Scout cookies? When did they come into prevalence? Who designs and names them? Which Girl Scout or chapter has sold the most?
They have.
Living in Utah, the "cookie wars" were crazy to watch unfold
Thanks to MrFusion, you actually can run a DeLorean time machine on chocolate!
I never heard of this company before, and I think those cookies look horrible! You can tell they are sugar bombs just by looking at them.
Its a good cookie and hits the spot when you want a quick dessert. The pink icing one tastes like how my grandma use to make it. Also like all their flavors on rotation. Obviously you shouldn't eat it everyday but if you have some self control its a nice treat !
3:48 An indoor skate park is really cool!
I live in the same town as the Crumbl creators. I remember when they first opened the first Crumbl and know they are everywhere.
Their cookies look like they have the same texture as something I made in my EZ Bake Oven back in the day.
"Doughy" and "far too sweet" is seriously a complaint?
Uh...yes? I swear, some of y'all really have the tastebuds of a 5 year old kid. Munching on cloying sweet play dough sounds awful.
@@jojojo89517 don't knock it till you try it :)
Now, there's a croissant/cookie combo craze.
11:33 I used to have the book Secret of the Ooze (1991) by B.B. Hiller (read before watching the film).
At the bottom of the book cover it says "IT'S THE SEQUEL, DUDES!"
I have got to try Crumbl Cookies!
Yes, experience the expensive disappointment like the rest of us.
Do you want diabetes? Because that's how you get diabetes.
You don’t haha
8:38 Womp Womp the kids got experience in the baking scene I see this as a win for them sure you don’t have to ur left pinky but now you know how to make amazing chocolate chip cookies and !GINGERSNAPS! 💀
Am I the first to notice it says "Cooke" and not "Cookie" or is that intentional?
Nope, just a typo that is still uncorrected a month later.🤦♂
@@pinkpools Even now! I didn't notice it myself.
Personally, I will always go with insomnia for my overpriced cookies. At least they deliver at 1 am
Thank you for your video! 🍪
They are highly over-rated and that's not why I check their website every Monday to see if there's a new flavour I can't live without. Damn you Crumbl!
I just want to understand how to make or where else to find that cornbread cookie. THAT was something I've never seen.
Proud to say I have never seen or eaten one of their cookies
Honestly I’m happy for these guys. They seem happy, and their cookies are genuinely enjoyable (at least the ones I’ve tried). Yes they are stupidly unhealthy and sweet but there’s days where an over the top sweet dessert sounds amazing. Something they need to do though is bake there cookies for a longer time. Maybe they can offer a gooey cookie option instead of always baking them that way. Best of luck to them, mistakes happen and they should be able to learn from them.
I live near Whitman. That Toll House sign is still there
Felt like a sponsored video.
A+ video!
Fascinating cookie shop!
Only time I would get Crumbl Cookies is when Oreos are available.
The Turtle Cookie isn’t bad and the Reese’s chip is my favorite. They make a good breakfast or beginning of shift snack although it is usually bought by a patient’s family member after they have passed on. Marking the start of a rough shift.
10:15 I never heard of these cookies and I knew why when they showed this map. There isn't any bakeries within 100 or 150 miles from me. Let's see if this startup lasts long enough to be as ubiquitous as McDonald's. (I doubt it.)
For the type of cookie they are making they are pretty good but if soft cookies are not your thing or you do have a sensitivity to sweetness it's understandable that people hate them. For me it's the steep prices.
I don't know how to bake to a high degree but I can read well enough to find one of a myriad of recipes online and bake my own cookies for about as much.
Title is wrong. Just a very rich corporation that is able to put shops everywhere.
Over-priced cookies, no thanks. 👎
Better to buy cookie dough and bake at home fresh out of the oven. 🍪♨️😊
Is PhuturePrimitive playing in the background? lol
You guys spelled Cookie wrong
My sister was all excited one day, saying “Oh, look we got a Crumbl Cookie now!”. And I said “A what?”. Disappointed to learn for being a new hip place they hadn’t bothered to find allergy friendly options. Can’t even try one if I wanted to. Let me know when a cookie chain makes dairy free ones.
