Crumbl Cookies — Review by Tommy Winkler
United States, United States — Desserts, Cookies
Tommy Winkler reviews Crumbl Cookies' new flavors and finds the experience disappointing, spending $30 on items that mostly taste like vape. While a few cookies like the White load and Honey bun received decent scores, most items were poorly rated, with the Flaming lime crunch receiving a zero.
What was great: White load cookie (8/10), Honey bun cookie (8.5/10), and Snickers bust a nut cookie had decent chocolate and peanut butter flavors
What could improve: Wild cherry blue balls slushie tasted like vape (4/10), Berry back shots were just vape flavors (3.5/10), Flaming lime crunch was offensive and caused digestive issues (0/10), artificial chocolate and peanut butter flavoring in some items
The Dishes
The reviewer sampled six different Crumbl items, rating each on a 10-point scale. The Wild cherry blue balls slushie opened the tasting and immediately disappointed, receiving a 4 out of 10 with the reviewer commenting it tasted like eating a vape. The Berry back shots followed suit at 3.5 out of 10, dismissed as simply vape flavors in cookie form. The Flaming lime crunch proved to be the most problematic item, earning a zero out of 10, with the reviewer expressing frustration and warning of digestive consequences. The White load cookie redeemed the lineup slightly at 8 out of 10, praised for its chocolatey and creamy qualities despite being difficult to eat. The Snickers bust a nut cookie scored 6 out of 10, with the reviewer noting that the chocolate and peanut butter flavoring tasted artificial. Finally, the Honey bun cookie was a bright spot at 8.5 out of 10, appreciated for its simplicity and sweet honey notes.
The Experience
The video appears to be a straightforward product tasting with minimal commentary on the dining or purchasing environment. The reviewer frames the experience as potentially a social experiment or marketing strategy that was effective in driving a purchase.
Value and Pricing
The reviewer spent $30 total on this assortment of items, which appears to have left them feeling the purchase was wasteful given the overall disappointment with most of the products.
Notable Moments
This has got to be a social experiment or rage babe. But it worked because I spent $30.
There should be a down charge for this cookie.
The reviewer's comment about the Flaming lime crunch potentially causing digestive issues was particularly memorable, suggesting the flavoring was genuinely problematic.
The Verdict
Overall, this review is decidedly negative. While two cookies earned respectable scores in the 8-8.5 range, the majority of the products tasted artificial or gimmicky, with heavy vape flavor comparisons suggesting the items relied too heavily on trendy but poor-quality flavorings. This review would interest customers skeptical of Crumbl's novelty items, but may not deter those specifically seeking these trending flavors.
