Yes 'Pookie' can mean many things. A loved one's knick-name; a man that wants to avoid responsibilities; a crackhead; etc...

[@Sky-yk2wn]

Pookie is a crackhead off new jack city😂😂😂😂

[@nkotbsouth]

Yeah, those cakes will NOT make it back to the studio. 😂

[@lisalopez4735]

The reporter seemed so enthused. The owners seem like nice people and those cakes must be really good to sell out everyday.

[@RideWithDeath333]

I saw the movie New Jack City.. Pookie was somebody who couldn't give up using crack and was killed for it.

[@RideWithDeath333]

I'm not seeing the humor in this

[@applecider9968]

Thank you

[@quinnsmith2955]

he needed crack and pushed it

[@linedanzer4302]

There's always some witless wet blanket in the mix. *The name "Pookie" was around for eons before that movie ever came out.

[@sandio9801]

The couple in the beginning wasn't needed. Good way to try to take the attention off of the actual Pookie Crack Cake.
