By now you might have seen the popular pink cookie brand Crumbl Cookies appear all over your social media. They’ve had a rise in popularity after influencers started reviewing their unique rotating menu that changes every week. A match made in heaven for creators who rely on trying new foods for their content! Crumbl also has a firm grasp on the younger market with trendy collaborations with the Willy Wonka franchise, Kylie Jenner, and Olivia Rodrigo. Today we’ll look at how Crumbl has become a symbol of overconsumption on tiktok, the evolution of mukbangs, and some interesting cases of facetuned cookies. The Overconsumption Problem with Crumbl Cookies #edvasian

this is a lesson to go to ur local bakers, where its portioned to size good for u, cooked all the way, and is up to health code

The fact that a single doughnut from Krispy Kreme and a single doughnut from Dunkin COMBINED is still somehow half as many calories as a single cookie from Crumbl makes me question how anyone is able to eat half a dozen of Crumbl cookies and NOT spike their blood sugar to the point of hospitalization.

magnetic sand is unironically the most apt comparison to cookie texture i’ve ever heard

[natt]

As a former Crumbl employee myself, I can say that the bad frosting jobs are the employees cries for help. 100/10 would not recommend getting a job here.

I have no idea why its always the same type of people. The Stanley cup and fabric headband with pearls kind 😭

As someone who has worked crumbl, people forget we are technically still a fast food place. None of us are bakers, the training we get is basically nonexistent and yes we work for almost nothing. We get paid minimum wage (7.25 per hour). There are no breaks since they schedule each shift just under the 8 hour mark and have managers working 39 hours to avoid giving them benefits. Crumbl is literally just a fast food place just instead of fry oil its butter.

Edit: I live in Texas so minimum wage is 7.25 and there are no laws about breaks. Also all crumbls are independently owned so the policy can change however this was the experience of people working at the crumbls in my area (we had 3 crumbls in my mid-small sized city). Luckily for me, i did not need my crumbl paycheck to live but i did need a job (would’ve taken any job as long as it paid ngl, even McDonalds which is a nightmare in my area) for spending money for college and paying for college.

From a chef’s perspective, they are damn near always underbaked and they frost them when they are still hot. A lovely combo for over-rated cookie dough.

Crumbl is one reason why I consider being a picky eater a superpower sometimes (it cuts down on the fomo bigtime).

Just befriend an elderly woman and she’ll make you a batch of your favorite cookies every week.

Its called Crumbl Cookie because its designed to make your health crumbl overtime.

[thelorax]

Crumbl Cookies are actual physical contradictions. Somehow insanely sweet AND bland; too dry BUT ALSO raw; baked fresh daily… but they’re stale? I dunno how they do it, man.

[Dither]

According to an Ex-Mormon Youtuber I follow who used to work there, sometimes Crumbl uses Betty Crocker mix. Like why claim your cookies are made from scratch when you use it from a box? He does talk about it in one of he and his wife's videos. And in case anyone was wondering... Yes. Crumbl is a Mormon company. Hence why they tend to hire younger people.

[Aphelion]

I worked there 8 months pregnant, wasn't allowed to sit and was told to move heavy boxes that were unsafe. Fuck crumbl cookies from the bottom of my heart

[thisissophiaisabelle]

There's so many cookies both online and offline. The best ones are usually found offline. Sometimes we get overwhelmed by the things we see online rather than the things we see offline.

I used to work at crumbl. It was my first job. I was a baker, which meant I did literally everything. I mixed cookies, weighed and shaped them, baked them, frosted them, ran the register, etc. I got paid 8.00 and hour and our manager took our tips. The customers were extremely entitled and the cookies are ridiculously bad for you. One of my coworkers got into a car accident and my boss got him an Uber because she didn't wanna come and cover the shift. We reported this behavior and nothing was done.

I used to work at a crumbl, and might be one of the few in this comment section who genuinely enjoyed the job. Part of this was the superb management team and the great owner, and the fact that I lived in a state with a very high minimum wage. They were super relaxed and appreciated work, and rewarded it too. Plus I was usually allowed to take home as many cookies as I wanted.

“Olivia Rodriguez that little Mexican girl that be cryin’. 0 out of 10.” Im crying 😭

[Captain_Sid]

Crumbl was founded in my hometown which I used to think was super cool. Then one of my friends worked in the warehouse and their working conditions and managers were horrible (I'm looking at you, Ben from Crumbl). Then they decided to sue all the other cookie companies around and I have never had a Crumbl cookie since. :3

They always remind me of those soft cookies they sell at grocery stores that are caked in like pink frosting.
