The first three are why I wish food science was taught in schools alongside nutrition. There's really nothing wrong with drumsticks seemingly not melting; it just has a bunch of air plus natural stabilizers in it that make the texture thick and continue to hold its shape when it melts. It's not labelled as ice cream and it's really not fair to hold it to the same standards as ice cream. Is it worth the price considering so much of the product's volume is air? Probably not, but that's not what people are complaining about. With Poppi and Bloom, most foods that make "miracle" health claims will usually only give you expensive bodily waste because the majority of people get a perfectly acceptable amount of micronutrients through their regular diets.
Agreed. A lot of people also do not know that a term like ice cream is legally protected. So being a "frozen dairy treat" is not because it is some ultra synthetic concoction... it just means it does not legally meet the definition of ice cream because the milk fat content per weight is not sufficient to meet the standard.
Disagree. They try to capitalise on people's desire for ice cream while trying their best to camouflage the fact that the product is not ice cream. It's easy to say "oh it's perfectly clear to consumers, because they don't directly state it's ice cream anywhere" but the pictures look like ice cream bars, it definitely tricks a good portion of their customers - including me! I can't describe how disappointing it felt to grab an ice cream bar and get that stuff instead, it was fine while eating but then sat in my stomach weird and made me feel nauseated. The more we got through the box, the more nauseating they became. It's a deceptive practice, because the actual product is inferior. I think we should go back to more whole foods, and make sure we get rid of minimum wages that haven't been indexed in decades, so people aren't stuck buying products like this fake ice cream and miracle whip.
@@bubblegumplastic and this is the slippery legal slope. How does one legally define an image of ice cream? It's likely been brought up in court before... They are really interesting cases to read because in many cases, they will argue about where those items can be placed on grocery store shelves i.e. not next to ice cream or ice cream based products. Also in terms of labeling... There are things that dairy producers are not legally required to label. For example, they do not have to legally disclose the amount of somatic cells (white blood cells) in milk or milk products -- so you don't know how sick the cows are. This is also why there is a brewing debate between raw and pasteurized dairy products.
yeah. im thinking that if someone wants an extra way to get those nutrients, just take a multivitamin or something. Its easier and more direct at least.
I feel people are stepping back like 20-30 years ago and don't read anything on the packaged. No where does it says it's ice cream, but an "frozen dessert". Just know it's full of sugar and it's cold, if you want really ice cream, looks for package saying "ice cream" with make with real cream
@@O1NKery hate to say it yeah but i agree. at least his regime last only for a few years and people agree it's bad and will steer clear from n4zi. just bc these company target black impoverished country people won't even care and defend it bc "capitalism"
The bloom one was fair. Their influencer advertising was illegal and misleading. They made claims they couldn't back up and the relationship between the influencers and them wasn't disclosed properly (and yes, it almost never is but it's still illegal). A lot of health products and health foods are marketed in unethical and illegal ways. Is the product itself a scam? Maybe, but you'd have to do testing on it instead of just drinking it. Edit: It also tastes terrible. That one is a bit subjective, but influencers saying stuff tastes amazing when virtually no customers agree indicates they properly lied while leaving people to believe it was an honest review. That's definitely unethical at the very least.
I was thinking the same thing. These may be potential problems but it's not a "scam" if the cookies isn't to your taste or if the soda doesn't cure your illness. Just don't buy it again.
Okay because I hear this all the time and it is a bit annoying at this point... Ice cream is a legally protected term. Anything that does not meet that definition cannot legally call itself ice cream. This doesn't mean that what you are eating is fake or bad. Dairy producers fiercely protect definitions of cream, ice cream, butter, and milk. This is why you see terms like "frozen dairy treat" or "buttery spread" in lieu of ice cream or butter. It would be like if cotton producers said that only textiles made of 100% cotton could be called fabric.
Right. Dairy is a horrible and cruel industry/product. I'm all for whole foods but I'd rather eat oil with emulsifier than a product of animal exploitation any day all day.
also its made of skim milk, aka it has less fat. so ti uses the soy lecithin to recreate that creamy texture. its a v common ingredient in dairyfree ice cream imitations, its fine.
Yes I am so sick of when people blame the whole company for the workers at one franchise location skimping on portions or health code violations, it’s not necessarily the whole company’s problem but I will say yes the location should definitely be more careful because they are technically going to be representing the company. It’s that location’s training or lack there of, it’s the manager, assistant manager,regional manager, and local health inspector’s fault!
It’s not appropriate to make such generalized claims, especially when there are research studies suggesting that inulin can help promote regularity in patients with IBS, especially the constipation subtype. Some people may be sensitive to it and should limit their consumption, but other people see a lot of benefit from increasing inulin in their diets
I used to work for crumbl and can definitely say we didn’t just use box mix for the cookies! There were recipes that we had to follow and we had large bins of all the ingredients:)
Exactly! Yes, some of the cookies do use box mix in the recipes but we didn't just pour in the box mix, add water, and call it a day. There was always a long list of ingredients after that.
I assume that Chipotle workers are carefully monitored where portion sizes are concerned. I’m a Whole Foods baker, and we have our weights checked DAILY to make sure they’re correct as per company guidelines. But it goes both ways; we would get in trouble for items weighing under as well. But we can’t just give people double portions for free, either. It would be considered stealing. I would guess Chipotle is similar. These poor minimum wage workers aren’t just trying to be jerks, people need to calm tf down😭
chipotle measurements is the spoon they use to scoop up the food and its a pretty big scoop imo. i remember someone said only the meat, rice, and guac is one scoop. but the other stuff, u can ask for more. i think theyre a little more relaxed compared to whole foods.
So I usually go to Chipotle in person and my order is pretty filling and full. However last week when I ordered it off of door dash, buy 1 get 1 free entree, I got two bowls those bowls could've been put together to make the portion size I get in person. Honestly it probably would've been less still
Try going to mezeh..... they use teaspoons.. TEASPOONS. Chipotle uses 4oz spoons and sometimes heaped up. If Chipotle made the orders behind doors. No one would be complaining as much for what they can't see..
The thing with crumbl is they don't cook their cookies all the way through. I worked with them for about a month and they only bake their cookies at 290 for the same amount of time that most cookies are cooked at 350 for. I saw a post from another employee that claimed the temperature out of the oven did not meet health standards and he was pretty much fired for alerting corporate about it. If you bake your cookies at home, then go right ahead with making medium rare cookies, but for a company to do that is sus.
Drumsticks are not a scam. The stabilizers and lack of cream are blatantly stated on the back of the packaging. The stabilizers makeup for the lack of fat from cream in real ice cream, which gives ice cream it’s structure. The lighter/ airer and ice cream is the faster it melts unless it has added stabilizers. The overchurn aka airiness of the dirt cheap dairy frozen things is just way higher. Air is free.
i was thinking the same thing! its made of skim milk so it doesnt have that milkfat, and then the soy lecithin is to create that creamy texture, lots of lowfat and nondairy/vegan alts have the same thing. itd be like calling a sugarfree food Fake bc it has idk sucralose or xylithol. food science is really interesting to me, and i think it's really cool how we can create diff textures and flavors using various techniques and ingredients. i wish ppl appreciated this more, esp understanding how essential preservatives are. otherwise you'd get bred that got moldy in a week.
lol I can’t stand this ice cream trend. Of course it doesn’t melt like ice cream Because it isn’t ice cream, it’s milk with a bunch of oils, stabilizers, emulsifiers like coconut oil and gums. When combined the product melts differently than a product made of mostly sugar and cream with no oils.
In addition to what has already been said about the drumstick and the ice cream, I want to talk about something that I haven't seen discussed in the comments I've seen: the chocolate shell. Part of the reason why the ice cream bar took long to melt is that the chocolate that Häagen Dazs uses is a) higher quality, b) thicker, which helps it hold its shape longer and c) probably tempered, which gives it its snap (I learnt this thanks to Sohla El-Waylly and Claire Saffitz) and make it more stable, which also helps it hold its shape longer.
it's not fair to hold Drumsticks to the same standards as ice cream. it's not ice cream. it's a frozen desert. it has a decent amount of coconut oil in it. you know, an oil that's solid at room temperature.
I love Poppis, but I do think they should be cheaper. I wish they would sell 12 packs for like 15 bucks or something. That would feel more fair to me than these 4 pack for 9 bucks.
i know lol. your body has a tight control on body pH and if it was off thatd be a major "get to the ER" health crisis, and if your liver and kidneys function well, you're detoxing just fine.
I don’t know if alkaline is really bs. I have a condition called interstitial cystitis and if I don’t drink a lot of alkaline water or take pills that cause the food and liquids in my stomach to become alkaline I’d be in pain ALL the time.
@@kenziemoon522 thats very understandable! however the pseudoscience of "alkalinzed food" or whatever isnt about like, stomach juice pH (like heartburn, etc), its claiming that your body and esp your blood can change pH to cause... idk vague symptoms like fatigue or headaches or whatever other ills in order to sell their crap. like if blood ph could be changed so easily it would be extremely dangerous bc blood acidosis is an acute condition needing immediate hospitalization, not just drinking alkaline water. i hope that explained it. snakeoil salespeople will take any kernel of truth and expand it to cover any general ill in order to push their bogus panacea.
@@MsLilly200 I see ,I am a anti crumbl cookie cause there’s workers that say they force them not to cook then well and their boss says “aww they cook by the day they are hot in the drawers” that could make someone have salmonella 💀
Thank you for trying these. I'm always blown away by the number of people who hate on something just because some tik tok "influencer" said they should without first forming their own opinion. Drumsticks were designed that way and never claimed to be high quality ice cream. It's a hot day out and the kids want something cold. Do you want them to actually eat the ice cream or do you want the ice cream to instantly melt all over their hands, face, clothing, shoes, car seat, and everything else they come in contact with?
If yall wanna know more about whether chipotle is consistent, I'd definitely recommend Zackary Smigel's video where he eats Chipotle for 30 days. It's long but a good watch and he goes tot multiple stores, in person and online ordering
idk, i think the poppi lawsuit is kinda overblown 😅 the amount of sugar in the drink really isn’t that high, not near as high as the lawsuit makes it sound. and also- a lot of pre/probiotic drinks require you to drink a couple of them before they “work”
I love the raspberry rose one, too lol...so good! I drink Poppi because of the less sugary taste compared to regular soda, not all the time though, cuz it is pricey haha.😁
The bloom has aspartame which makes my have anxiety. Didn’t know where it was coming from till I looked at the ingredients! Darn it!! Straight to the bin!
Drinking soda for gut health is such an American thing. The rest of the world eats actual food good for your gut, like fermented foods, but not us. We've got a soda for it. 😂 Also, the clear liquid coming out of the drumstick was probably melted ice from the "ice cream" filling. I've seen overly processed "ice cream" separate like that before, leaving behind the foamy stuff.
I'm not from America and I am bewildered by the concept of a "gut health" soda. Nobody from where I am would even come up with that idea. Just not a product we would consume for that kinda thing. Actively thinking about it I can only think of one similar product whichs primary marketing focuses on gut health and that's the Activia yoghurt.
I agree, I think if you want a healthier gut you can drink a cup of green tea or a shot of apple cider vinegar. Those two things would give you results pretty quickly, because you would be on the toilet in tops 45 minutes.
@@kellbear23 yeah that's what i was going to say, they change cookies every single week and recently they've started offering cakes (which is annoying because for some of these they already have cookie forms of them that are better but w/e lol) so using a cake mix makes sense.
Maybe in few years we’ll have robots dishing out the exact weights of each food item on our Chipotle, Subway, Taco Bell etc. Perfectly precise, but at what cost 😅
I just realized that getting a crush on your cashier or barista is going to become a time-specific trope in the future, like riding in a model T car or smoking on an airplane, and that's sad. Like imagine if our grandchildren never that
its an intersting thought, but giving a human worker a measuring cup is much easier and cheaper than developing industrial machinery. actually now that i think about it, many things we purchase at a grocery store were dished out precisely by robots, just at a factory and packed and shipped! so its kinda a thing already, but economy of scale means its easier to have a central processing area and then a wide distribution.
Every time I've had crumbl they've just been "okay" it's not really worth the money in my opinion. I wouldn't say my cookies are better, but I do enjoy them more.
There's nothing wrong with what's in the drumstick. It's just cheap for a reason. The stabilizers are what make it melt weird, but honestly... I'd like to see what would happen if you scooped out the innards from a drumstick and mixed that in with proper creme anglaise to see if it would just result in a crazy smooth, almost unbreakable ice cream mixture. Kind of like using cream cheese or a little bit of American cheese in a cheese sauce to help make it extra smooth and keep it emulsified better
drumsticks uses natural stabilizers that keeps the ice cream feel at lower temps. once it heats up enough it stops stabilizing and the ingredients separate.
My son is a general manager at Chiplote A) they don't allow you to film inside the store. B) just ask for rice and beans they'll give it to you and C) They're so swamped with online orders they just make the food to get it out. I promise you there isn't any funny business with the sizes
most chipotles have a separate line for online orders only and those have the absolute worst portion sizes compared to the slightly less bad in-person order line
@@mommyissue people have been wrong before. have you seen any stats or actual info on this? also because some people have no shame and will bother employees just doing what they're told to get scraps of extra food. are americans that greedy?
I actually worked at a chipotle before and the portions we were trained to give are so much less than what is being given. Also they keep track of how much food is used at the end of the day and hound you to not use more than necessary which is contrary to what customers want, they want you to fill up the whole bowl with rice and stuff it with the rest of the toppings, it was wild, I'm so glad I don't work in fast food anymore. Please be nice to the workers, they're just trying to get paid.
My location is very hit and miss. One day I can ask for extra veggies and get like 4 extra pieces of pepper or another day and I ask for extra veggies and the girl hooks me up with 2 full scoops. I feel like it's dependent on the person prepping and the stores rules.
Crumbl cookie was the biggest scam I ever purchased, its flavor is so...ehhhh for the damn price uh sorry but 80 bucks to try almost all of their flavors? Madness I've been to bakeries with better and cheaper cookies.
Gotta be careful with supplements and vitamins. If you don’t need it don’t take it. If you consume excess nutrients you don’t need you’ll experience “vitamin toxicity.” I have an iron deficiency, but in my hometown for some odd reason no store sold just iron supplements. I was too lazy to order online and needed it asap, so instead I took a multivitamin with iron. I used to take another multivitamin (that I stopped taking when I got the new one with iron) it was a horrible mistake, on one hand I felt less tired and sickly (iron deficiency) but there was something I DID NOT NEED or at least did not need that MUCH of in it and it made me sick with … number 3…and had me vomiting violently. Be careful y’all!
i work at a chipotle that sells the orange and strawberry poppis. they do not sell very well. in fact, its been a while since i've seen anyone actually get one from the fridge.
Crumbl genuinely expects humans to eat 1/4 of the cookie and then say "yes, that is enough cookie to be satisfied" ... delusional. They need to get their calorie info in order the company knows dang well what they're doing
Chipotle has definitely gone down, and the prices have gone way up. My first time eating there, it was $5.50 for a packed burrito with LOTS of meat. I still get the exact same thing when I go there, and it's now $11.35 for literally the exact same burrito, but there is hardly any meat, and of that little meat, most of it is fat and gristle and can't be eaten. I know pricing goes up over time, but to more than double in price, and also have reduced quantity and quality of meat...its just a shame. Even if I pay for "double protein", it's still not as much meat as they put in the burrito back when I first started going there.
inuline is fibre AND sugar in one. I think they can leave a bit of sugar off the lable but Inuline is a sucrose-fructose combo (I think) but also fibre
In order to get a correct test of the Chipotle sizes, we would have to go back in time and weigh stuff then, and then compare it to now, because thats where the scam is coming from. Raising the prices but giving less product, and Chipotle is not the only place where it's happening. They're just more on the radar about it due to all the other backlash they've gotten over the years. From my own personal experiences, the last few times I had gotten Chipotle (for free mind you) all had smaller portion sizes, and easily avoidable mistakes such as severely undercooked rice and straight up just huge chunks of animal fat. One of my online friends last order resulted in a burrito that was almost entirely rice, that again, was undercooked. Different location entirely, similar issue. On the plus side, there are copycat recipes for nearly everything nowadays, especially for things before companies really started adding a ridiculous amount of filler into them. You can and should meal prep your own chipotle orders, you know exactly what goes into it and can make sure your rice isn't crunchy.
the more i hear about chipotle woes, the more i feel sorry for people who dont have taquerias nearby. this must be how new yorkers feel about pizza hut
The cookie company is not a scam… just not liking the product does not make it a scam.. if they said for example they were sugar free and they weren’t that’s a scam.
Joshua Weisman did an in depth investigation on this Chipotle claim and came to the conclusion that different locations will give you different portion sizes but overall, even taking the different locations into account, you get less portion sizes when doing online orders.
I think the scam with bloom is just like other supplement companies wherein you don't NEED to buy it unless a doctor tells you to, and even then you'd get better results with just a good diet or your pharmacie's supplements as opposed to bloom.
the chipotle portions I get at my chipotle are HUGE. like they make ur money WORTH it! but I have seen other places that don’t make ANY of ur money worth it.
Our local Crumbl doesn’t make their cookies in house. They have a bakery in an industrial complex in the next town they bakes them and they get a tray of each flavor of raw dough to bake there so it smells like they’re baking in the store. Once I discovered that, Crumbl is off my list of places to spend my money.
I will say, my Chipotle in Utah definitely does not skimp on ingredients or guac. In fact, last time they put so much guac in my bowl that it was too much lol
7:57 you scared me as hell! I've heard "each cookie if 45 dollars" i've nearly fell of my chair then put the subtitles on sighed in relief... 4 to 5, which WAY to expensive for a cookie.
I disagree with the chipotle online ordering thing vs order in person, according to this video” Surviving Off Chipotle For 30 Days” across different locations over 30 days he did conclude that you get less with online orders.
I definitely think it depends on who’s preparing and the location. A 30 day experiment would give a more accurate sample tho but I still think it depends on your region. Maybe because we live near the chipotle HQ they adhere to a consistent standard. You just never know!! 🤷🏻♀️
I tend not to believe most things that makes big claims on health benefits and such because more often than not it's exaggerating or an outright lie. Regarding the whole shrinkflation thing, a few months ago everyone here in Canada got into an uproar over KD. Traditionally our KD boxes hold more than the US version but a few months ago they shrunk the amount packed in there to be the same as the US version while still charging the same price. So yeah, that's definitely a thing and it's aggravating. I kinda had the feeling the Drumstick one would be confirmed.
5:00 this review might actually be a food allergy like I have a food allergy sensitivity to eggs and I get horrible stomach aches and I throw up all night.
Less sugar is a plus for diabetics who miss soda and the price if you can find it for less than $2 is worth it for me. I get a gut satisfaction the next day so a plus for me.
The Chipotle thing is actually real. You just got lucky. Before COVID, we used to go pick up Chipotle fairly often for dinner. The bowls were always so packed full we couldn’t finish them. They’d be overflowing! After COVID they started delivering in my area. The orders used to be just as full and we were happy bc we could split bowls the kids and save money. In the last few months, when we go in person, the bowls are still very stuffed. When we order on DoorDash and have it delivered, it’s half the size. To the point that I have photos and screenshots from submitting complaints to prove it. No matter how often I complain or how many receipts I have, nothing changes. We also asked some employees and they said they were told to fill DoorDash orders with less food. 🤷🏼♀️ So, unless we have to, we always go pick up in person now!
Side note: the employees said their manager told them that someone that gets an order delivered through DoorDash is less likely to come in and complain, so they fill it with less, bc if they do complain DoorDash gives the customer a credit and Chipotle doesn’t lose any money giving away free food or refunds.
Oh that's what was meant by "online orders" bc in my experience, ordering through their app - albeit I always ordered for myself to pick it up - generally netted me a lot more food than they'd give me in person. As in, it used to be that when I went in person and got a burrito, it was a barely filled up sad looking thing. But when I ordered on the app it was STUFFED. In general though the inconsistencies across the board are imo sad.
I'm not sure the chipotle consistency works as well because you went to different locations, I think a better test would be same location and maybe different days or another person picking up the other order
Okay, not the same as the "ice cream" issue but my nephew was coming over and I asked him to pick me up some unsalted butter. About ten minutes later he called me saying did it have to be unsalted. He'd been reading them all to see the "ingredients" and they all had salt. I was making garlic butter (had harvested some very early garlic) and I was going to add a dash of salt anyway, so told him not to worry about it, I only asked for unsalted from habit. He turned up with a tub of palm oil spread with about 30% "dairy products". Tried to explain this wasn't butter, it wasn't even worth calling (bunny ears) "butter". He's 32. He doesn't bake much.
the biggest issue with bloom for me is the marketing, influencers are constantly doing undisclosed ads and pretending that they use it regularly and love the taste when you can clearly see their face says otherwise
To be fair with the crumbl and Chipotle varies by store. I'm glad you have good ones by you. I haven't gotten a poorly dressed cookie but often they're so underdone they're bordering raw. The boxed mix I believe was for a specific cookie in rotation at one point.
As someone that used to work there; I think the reason why chipotle mobile orders sometimes appear smaller is because they have *whoever is available* make the order and it may not be someone that’s confident in what a portion looks like, like it could be the cashier or someone that usually cooks the food in the back vs the person that scoops your stuff in person is very familiar with portions. If that makes sense lol 😅 I didn’t work there long tho, they have high turnover
I have a video idea. Could you do a review video on overpriced foods around the world and cook or bake them and show how easy they are to make, please? Thank youuu!
It has to have at least 10% butter fat to be labeled ice cream. I believe one of the 1st ingredient is skim milk and then several plant fats so it can't legally be called ice cream.
Former Crumbl worker. Can’t say a ton (they do make you sign nda) but yes some cookies have mixes to get flavors but it’s always an add in like the pudding. The dough itself is always hand made. It also explains inconsistencies. If you have new workers or an oops and didn’t know it. Each batch is made from scratch. Yes sometimes preperpared but always made on site. Not frozen! Hence “no I don’t have frozen dough like Mrs. Fields and can keep them in at all times” sometimes there will be a wait for cookies to bake or flavors running out
We don't have Bloom here, but I've seen it everywhere in TikTok. The packaging makes it look like something that is meant for plants and I was wondering why people are going crazy for plant stuff - until I stopped a video and took a closee look 🙃
Am I the only one the genuinely loves the taste of bloom😭 I mix it with pineapple cranberry juice and actually get so excited to drink in the mornings idec if it does something or not
I'm servsafe food protection and MNCRP certified and I can confidently say that in most cases even though crumbl is undercooked, the necessary bacteria has already been killed due to high temperatures. It may not be good tasting but it's not exactly a health risk
At least in my city the Chipotle gives nearly double the amount of food in person and online. I weighed it before just to see. I never do mobile orders anymore I dont trust it anymore lol.

The bloom one was fair. Their influencer advertising was illegal and misleading. They made claims they couldn't back up and the relationship between the influencers and them wasn't disclosed properly (and yes, it almost never is but it's still illegal). A lot of health products and health foods are marketed in unethical and illegal ways. Is the product itself a scam? Maybe, but you'd have to do testing on it instead of just drinking it.
Edit: It also tastes terrible. That one is a bit subjective, but influencers saying stuff tastes amazing when virtually no customers agree indicates they properly lied while leaving people to believe it was an honest review. That's definitely unethical at the very least.
Agreed
legit. the whole time I kept wondering, "man, did I miss the Drumsticks commercial where they advertised melting as a feature of their desserts?" lol
I was thinking the same thing. These may be potential problems but it's not a "scam" if the cookies isn't to your taste or if the soda doesn't cure your illness. Just don't buy it again.
Okay because I hear this all the time and it is a bit annoying at this point... Ice cream is a legally protected term. Anything that does not meet that definition cannot legally call itself ice cream. This doesn't mean that what you are eating is fake or bad. Dairy producers fiercely protect definitions of cream, ice cream, butter, and milk. This is why you see terms like "frozen dairy treat" or "buttery spread" in lieu of ice cream or butter.
It would be like if cotton producers said that only textiles made of 100% cotton could be called fabric.
Some of the best frozen treats I churn up with my Creami have zero dairy, like fruit sorbets.

Right. Dairy is a horrible and cruel industry/product. I'm all for whole foods but I'd rather eat oil with emulsifier than a product of animal exploitation any day all day.
also its made of skim milk, aka it has less fat. so ti uses the soy lecithin to recreate that creamy texture. its a v common ingredient in dairyfree ice cream imitations, its fine.
Dairy queen also can't legally call itself ice cream and I love dairy queen!
i do think chipotle portions varies per location. some hook it up and some skimp.
True
Yes I am so sick of when people blame the whole company for the workers at one franchise location skimping on portions or health code violations, it’s not necessarily the whole company’s problem but I will say yes the location should definitely be more careful because they are technically going to be representing the company. It’s that location’s training or lack there of, it’s the manager, assistant manager,regional manager, and local health inspector’s fault!
@@julienicol9202the whole point of a chain is consistency - if it’s not that well, then yes, the brand is failing and should be called out.
they are supposed to be consistent and lately it's been consistently a huge waste of money due to skimpy portions
Every Chipotle burrito I've ever gotten was splitting at the seams overflowing lol, it's like 3 meals
The silliest thing about these new sodas as a "digestive aid" is it has inulin, which is terrible for people with IBS or a sensitive gut in general.
There's also studies that say agave inulin destroys the gut microbiome in humans. Scary.
Really because I’ve always been told that it’s great for ibs since it helps with digestion, fiber intake, and constipation
It’s not appropriate to make such generalized claims, especially when there are research studies suggesting that inulin can help promote regularity in patients with IBS, especially the constipation subtype. Some people may be sensitive to it and should limit their consumption, but other people see a lot of benefit from increasing inulin in their diets
@@clarisaxpianistoh no! not a nuanced concept! I need everything to be easy to understand in one very short sentence! - most people
Well they did not lie about the ingredient being there so people sensitive to it know to avoid it.
I used to work for crumbl and can definitely say we didn’t just use box mix for the cookies! There were recipes that we had to follow and we had large bins of all the ingredients:)
Exactly! Yes, some of the cookies do use box mix in the recipes but we didn't just pour in the box mix, add water, and call it a day. There was always a long list of ingredients after that.
@@bunniihop3455 yes for sure!!
As a none American; what is box mix? Aren't base cookies just flour sugar butter and eggs?
@@AmazinglyAwkwardbox mix is just all the dry ingredients measured out for you
@@hannauyu thanks :)
I assume that Chipotle workers are carefully monitored where portion sizes are concerned. I’m a Whole Foods baker, and we have our weights checked DAILY to make sure they’re correct as per company guidelines. But it goes both ways; we would get in trouble for items weighing under as well. But we can’t just give people double portions for free, either. It would be considered stealing. I would guess Chipotle is similar. These poor minimum wage workers aren’t just trying to be jerks, people need to calm tf down😭
chipotle measurements is the spoon they use to scoop up the food and its a pretty big scoop imo. i remember someone said only the meat, rice, and guac is one scoop. but the other stuff, u can ask for more. i think theyre a little more relaxed compared to whole foods.
I agree. People are just being rude.
So I usually go to Chipotle in person and my order is pretty filling and full. However last week when I ordered it off of door dash, buy 1 get 1 free entree, I got two bowls those bowls could've been put together to make the portion size I get in person. Honestly it probably would've been less still
Try going to mezeh..... they use teaspoons.. TEASPOONS. Chipotle uses 4oz spoons and sometimes heaped up. If Chipotle made the orders behind doors. No one would be complaining as much for what they can't see..
And it's not the employees fault. They Def don't care. It's the managers fault. They micromanage the way the employees serve.
The thing with crumbl is they don't cook their cookies all the way through. I worked with them for about a month and they only bake their cookies at 290 for the same amount of time that most cookies are cooked at 350 for. I saw a post from another employee that claimed the temperature out of the oven did not meet health standards and he was pretty much fired for alerting corporate about it. If you bake your cookies at home, then go right ahead with making medium rare cookies, but for a company to do that is sus.
it's not a health concern if nobody has gotten sick from eating there
also medium rare is a term for cooking meat not for baking
undercook cookies are good
Imo that's what makes them so good..I love me some rare cookies 😂
underbaked dough is literally just undercooking eggs, ew
@@aleigor450 can we call them... undercookies?
Drumsticks are not a scam. The stabilizers and lack of cream are blatantly stated on the back of the packaging. The stabilizers makeup for the lack of fat from cream in real ice cream, which gives ice cream it’s structure. The lighter/ airer and ice cream is the faster it melts unless it has added stabilizers. The overchurn aka airiness of the dirt cheap dairy frozen things is just way higher. Air is free.
i was thinking the same thing! its made of skim milk so it doesnt have that milkfat, and then the soy lecithin is to create that creamy texture, lots of lowfat and nondairy/vegan alts have the same thing. itd be like calling a sugarfree food Fake bc it has idk sucralose or xylithol.
food science is really interesting to me, and i think it's really cool how we can create diff textures and flavors using various techniques and ingredients. i wish ppl appreciated this more, esp understanding how essential preservatives are. otherwise you'd get bred that got moldy in a week.
yeah and it obviously melted.
Yeah, no scam. Is what it says it is.
i read this in salad fingers' voice lol
I love drumsticks
lol I can’t stand this ice cream trend. Of course it doesn’t melt like ice cream
Because it isn’t ice cream, it’s milk with a bunch of oils, stabilizers, emulsifiers like coconut oil and gums. When combined the product melts differently than a product made of mostly sugar and cream with no oils.
Breakdown all those synthetic ingredients and you’ll see how fucked it is 💀
Not to be that guy but coconut oil and milk fat are both solid at room temp
In addition to what has already been said about the drumstick and the ice cream, I want to talk about something that I haven't seen discussed in the comments I've seen: the chocolate shell. Part of the reason why the ice cream bar took long to melt is that the chocolate that Häagen Dazs uses is a) higher quality, b) thicker, which helps it hold its shape longer and c) probably tempered, which gives it its snap (I learnt this thanks to Sohla El-Waylly and Claire Saffitz) and make it more stable, which also helps it hold its shape longer.
it's not fair to hold Drumsticks to the same standards as ice cream. it's not ice cream. it's a frozen desert. it has a decent amount of coconut oil in it. you know, an oil that's solid at room temperature.
I love Poppis, but I do think they should be cheaper. I wish they would sell 12 packs for like 15 bucks or something. That would feel more fair to me than these 4 pack for 9 bucks.
I love when the competitor says "alkalize & detox" on the box, two health claims that are complete bs 😂
i know lol. your body has a tight control on body pH and if it was off thatd be a major "get to the ER" health crisis, and if your liver and kidneys function well, you're detoxing just fine.
I don’t know if alkaline is really bs. I have a condition called interstitial cystitis and if I don’t drink a lot of alkaline water or take pills that cause the food and liquids in my stomach to become alkaline I’d be in pain ALL the time.
@@kenziemoon522 thats very understandable! however the pseudoscience of "alkalinzed food" or whatever isnt about like, stomach juice pH (like heartburn, etc), its claiming that your body and esp your blood can change pH to cause... idk vague symptoms like fatigue or headaches or whatever other ills in order to sell their crap. like if blood ph could be changed so easily it would be extremely dangerous bc blood acidosis is an acute condition needing immediate hospitalization, not just drinking alkaline water.
i hope that explained it. snakeoil salespeople will take any kernel of truth and expand it to cover any general ill in order to push their bogus panacea.
Say it louder for the the ones in the back! 📢
its also worth noting that crumbl cookies are stupidly high in calories, as in a single cookie can have as much as 800 cals in
The Olivia Rodrigo cookie was 900 calories!
@@Madzzz12 that is legit insane what
@@Madzzz12what? That’s half of calories someone can eat in a day 😭
@@Stefanieeq I mean it's a huge cookie. A regular size cookie also has a lot of calories. And crumble cookies are like, 2-4 times as big.
@@MsLilly200 I see ,I am a anti crumbl cookie cause there’s workers that say they force them not to cook then well and their boss says “aww they cook by the day they are hot in the drawers” that could make someone have salmonella 💀
10:41 that's the funniest thing I've ever seen from a CEO 😂😂
I couldn’t stop laughing. lol!
@@honeysuckle 😂😂
Thank you for trying these. I'm always blown away by the number of people who hate on something just because some tik tok "influencer" said they should without first forming their own opinion. Drumsticks were designed that way and never claimed to be high quality ice cream. It's a hot day out and the kids want something cold. Do you want them to actually eat the ice cream or do you want the ice cream to instantly melt all over their hands, face, clothing, shoes, car seat, and everything else they come in contact with?
If yall wanna know more about whether chipotle is consistent, I'd definitely recommend Zackary Smigel's video where he eats Chipotle for 30 days. It's long but a good watch and he goes tot multiple stores, in person and online ordering
i'll check that out!
idk, i think the poppi lawsuit is kinda overblown 😅 the amount of sugar in the drink really isn’t that high, not near as high as the lawsuit makes it sound. and also- a lot of pre/probiotic drinks require you to drink a couple of them before they “work”
7:11 "I'm not going to say Bloom is a scam" yeah, for legal reasons of course 😆
Cheesecake Factory restaurants get their cheesecakes shipped in frozen, BUT they’re so delicious I don’t even care. 🍰
100% same!
I like cheesecake frozen anyway 😂
That's not a scam. That just means they are made offsite which makes sense considering the variety they offer.
I love the raspberry rose one, too lol...so good! I drink Poppi because of the less sugary taste compared to regular soda, not all the time though, cuz it is pricey haha.😁
Never heard ppl say Crumbl used box mixes or was inconsistent. Just because you don’t like all the flavors doesn’t mean it’s inconsistent.
If ice-cream doesn't melt, i don't want it.
The bloom has aspartame which makes my have anxiety. Didn’t know where it was coming from till I looked at the ingredients! Darn it!! Straight to the bin!
Noooo didn’t realize this
Drinking soda for gut health is such an American thing. The rest of the world eats actual food good for your gut, like fermented foods, but not us. We've got a soda for it. 😂
Also, the clear liquid coming out of the drumstick was probably melted ice from the "ice cream" filling. I've seen overly processed "ice cream" separate like that before, leaving behind the foamy stuff.
The poppi drink trying be kombucha wow.
I'm not from America and I am bewildered by the concept of a "gut health" soda. Nobody from where I am would even come up with that idea. Just not a product we would consume for that kinda thing. Actively thinking about it I can only think of one similar product whichs primary marketing focuses on gut health and that's the Activia yoghurt.
ii doubt it was ice, it would have been more clear. it's more likely coconut oil which is a listed ingredient
I agree, I think if you want a healthier gut you can drink a cup of green tea or a shot of apple cider vinegar. Those two things would give you results pretty quickly, because you would be on the toilet in tops 45 minutes.
Isn't crumbl a franchise? Because if it's a franchise that would explain why maybe that other crumbl had boxed mixes.
yes, crumbl is a franchise
i would assume the cake mix was probably for a specific type of cookie they were doing, like how they used the pudding mix for the one in the video
@@kellbear23 yeah that's what i was going to say, they change cookies every single week and recently they've started offering cakes (which is annoying because for some of these they already have cookie forms of them that are better but w/e lol) so using a cake mix makes sense.
Maybe in few years we’ll have robots dishing out the exact weights of each food item on our Chipotle, Subway, Taco Bell etc. Perfectly precise, but at what cost 😅
I just realized that getting a crush on your cashier or barista is going to become a time-specific trope in the future, like riding in a model T car or smoking on an airplane, and that's sad. Like imagine if our grandchildren never that
Every time we think this is gonna happen were wrong , it takes so much more development and money its cheaper to have humans working.
its an intersting thought, but giving a human worker a measuring cup is much easier and cheaper than developing industrial machinery. actually now that i think about it, many things we purchase at a grocery store were dished out precisely by robots, just at a factory and packed and shipped! so its kinda a thing already, but economy of scale means its easier to have a central processing area and then a wide distribution.
Every time I've had crumbl they've just been "okay" it's not really worth the money in my opinion. I wouldn't say my cookies are better, but I do enjoy them more.
There's nothing wrong with what's in the drumstick. It's just cheap for a reason. The stabilizers are what make it melt weird, but honestly... I'd like to see what would happen if you scooped out the innards from a drumstick and mixed that in with proper creme anglaise to see if it would just result in a crazy smooth, almost unbreakable ice cream mixture. Kind of like using cream cheese or a little bit of American cheese in a cheese sauce to help make it extra smooth and keep it emulsified better
drumsticks uses natural stabilizers that keeps the ice cream feel at lower temps. once it heats up enough it stops stabilizing and the ingredients separate.
My son is a general manager at Chiplote A) they don't allow you to film inside the store. B) just ask for rice and beans they'll give it to you and C) They're so swamped with online orders they just make the food to get it out. I promise you there isn't any funny business with the sizes
Well there is in some Chipotle causes that's obviously why everyone is making these trends to try and get more food.
most chipotles have a separate line for online orders only and those have the absolute worst portion sizes compared to the slightly less bad in-person order line
@@mommyissue people have been wrong before. have you seen any stats or actual info on this? also because some people have no shame and will bother employees just doing what they're told to get scraps of extra food. are americans that greedy?
😂😂😂😂
I actually worked at a chipotle before and the portions we were trained to give are so much less than what is being given. Also they keep track of how much food is used at the end of the day and hound you to not use more than necessary which is contrary to what customers want, they want you to fill up the whole bowl with rice and stuff it with the rest of the toppings, it was wild, I'm so glad I don't work in fast food anymore. Please be nice to the workers, they're just trying to get paid.
the chipotle portions vary from location to location, I was always scolded for giving people too much
My location is very hit and miss. One day I can ask for extra veggies and get like 4 extra pieces of pepper or another day and I ask for extra veggies and the girl hooks me up with 2 full scoops. I feel like it's dependent on the person prepping and the stores rules.
Crumbl cookie was the biggest scam I ever purchased, its flavor is so...ehhhh for the damn price uh sorry but 80 bucks to try almost all of their flavors? Madness I've been to bakeries with better and cheaper cookies.
I don't get the hype. I guess if you like slightly cooked cookie dough for outrageous prices...
Way too sweet!
a 6 pack is like 25.90 😭 i work there
I like their hot chocolate and red velvet cookies but the rest including the chocolate chip cookie were very mediocre.
Agreed. Nasty, overpriced, and raw.
Gotta be careful with supplements and vitamins. If you don’t need it don’t take it. If you consume excess nutrients you don’t need you’ll experience “vitamin toxicity.” I have an iron deficiency, but in my hometown for some odd reason no store sold just iron supplements. I was too lazy to order online and needed it asap, so instead I took a multivitamin with iron. I used to take another multivitamin (that I stopped taking when I got the new one with iron) it was a horrible mistake, on one hand I felt less tired and sickly (iron deficiency) but there was something I DID NOT NEED or at least did not need that MUCH of in it and it made me sick with … number 3…and had me vomiting violently. Be careful y’all!
The new blue Poppi is actually soooooo good.
I definitely would still drink Poppi
Same, tastes great!
i believe people were also upset with crumbl because they don’t explicitly tell you that one cookie is anywhere between 3-4 servings
Six. Each cookie is 6 servings
i work at a chipotle that sells the orange and strawberry poppis. they do not sell very well. in fact, its been a while since i've seen anyone actually get one from the fridge.
5:22 Could you use Bloom as liquid nitrogen fertilizer instead?
Crumbl genuinely expects humans to eat 1/4 of the cookie and then say "yes, that is enough cookie to be satisfied" ... delusional. They need to get their calorie info in order the company knows dang well what they're doing
Chipotle has definitely gone down, and the prices have gone way up. My first time eating there, it was $5.50 for a packed burrito with LOTS of meat. I still get the exact same thing when I go there, and it's now $11.35 for literally the exact same burrito, but there is hardly any meat, and of that little meat, most of it is fat and gristle and can't be eaten. I know pricing goes up over time, but to more than double in price, and also have reduced quantity and quality of meat...its just a shame. Even if I pay for "double protein", it's still not as much meat as they put in the burrito back when I first started going there.
I had never seen one of your videos until this one popped up. Immediately hooked on your personality and video style!
inuline is fibre AND sugar in one. I think they can leave a bit of sugar off the lable but Inuline is a sucrose-fructose combo (I think) but also fibre
Thanks for clearing that up!!
I also drink poppi as a soda alternative ( my parents buy a huge case every time we go to Costco so we have so much lol)
every costco came by placenta + yoni of someone (placenta world)
reply from someone in california west cost about to water themself inritual of whole body skincare
They should totally be making proper chocolate mousse considering how much they charge
it's funny that tongues are so different. I don't think olipop has much of an after taste, and I think poppi tastes STRONGLY of apple cider vinegar.
In order to get a correct test of the Chipotle sizes, we would have to go back in time and weigh stuff then, and then compare it to now, because thats where the scam is coming from. Raising the prices but giving less product, and Chipotle is not the only place where it's happening. They're just more on the radar about it due to all the other backlash they've gotten over the years.
From my own personal experiences, the last few times I had gotten Chipotle (for free mind you) all had smaller portion sizes, and easily avoidable mistakes such as severely undercooked rice and straight up just huge chunks of animal fat. One of my online friends last order resulted in a burrito that was almost entirely rice, that again, was undercooked. Different location entirely, similar issue.
On the plus side, there are copycat recipes for nearly everything nowadays, especially for things before companies really started adding a ridiculous amount of filler into them. You can and should meal prep your own chipotle orders, you know exactly what goes into it and can make sure your rice isn't crunchy.
the more i hear about chipotle woes, the more i feel sorry for people who dont have taquerias nearby. this must be how new yorkers feel about pizza hut
Umm our local Chipotle recently said they had to charge an “excess” fee to get more than a tiny spoonful of rice or cheese. 🤦🏻♀️
The cookie company is not a scam… just not liking the product does not make it a scam.. if they said for example they were sugar free and they weren’t that’s a scam.
Joshua Weisman did an in depth investigation on this Chipotle claim and came to the conclusion that different locations will give you different portion sizes but overall, even taking the different locations into account, you get less portion sizes when doing online orders.
I think the scam with bloom is just like other supplement companies wherein you don't NEED to buy it unless a doctor tells you to, and even then you'd get better results with just a good diet or your pharmacie's supplements as opposed to bloom.
Former Crumbl employee here, they are mixed fresh and certain cookies are made with cake mix. Pretty much any cookie with Cake in the name
Unpopular opinion : crumbl cookies are not good
…that’s a very popular opinion 😭
the chipotle portions I get at my chipotle are HUGE. like they make ur money WORTH it! but I have seen other places that don’t make ANY of ur money worth it.
Our local Crumbl doesn’t make their cookies in house. They have a bakery in an industrial complex in the next town they bakes them and they get a tray of each flavor of raw dough to bake there so it smells like they’re baking in the store. Once I discovered that, Crumbl is off my list of places to spend my money.
10:07 I love Crumbl, but the cookies were so decadent I couldn’t finish all 4 of them, even within 2 weeks.
@10:16 I don't know why I can't stand the view of a half dozen cookies, with 1 bite taken out from each of them 😂😂😂
I will say, my Chipotle in Utah definitely does not skimp on ingredients or guac. In fact, last time they put so much guac in my bowl that it was too much lol
7:57 you scared me as hell! I've heard "each cookie if 45 dollars" i've nearly fell of my chair then put the subtitles on sighed in relief... 4 to 5, which WAY to expensive for a cookie.
I disagree with the chipotle online ordering thing vs order in person, according to this video” Surviving Off Chipotle For 30 Days” across different locations over 30 days he did conclude that you get less with online orders.
I definitely think it depends on who’s preparing and the location. A 30 day experiment would give a more accurate sample tho but I still think it depends on your region. Maybe because we live near the chipotle HQ they adhere to a consistent standard. You just never know!! 🤷🏻♀️
I haven’t gone to the original restaurant in a while. Maybe I should go back in the name of research.
1:36 last time i drank one of thoes i puked 3 times 😭😭😭
At least you digest it 😂😂😂😂
These sodas are great.
I tend not to believe most things that makes big claims on health benefits and such because more often than not it's exaggerating or an outright lie.
Regarding the whole shrinkflation thing, a few months ago everyone here in Canada got into an uproar over KD. Traditionally our KD boxes hold more than the US version but a few months ago they shrunk the amount packed in there to be the same as the US version while still charging the same price. So yeah, that's definitely a thing and it's aggravating.
I kinda had the feeling the Drumstick one would be confirmed.
5:00 this review might actually be a food allergy like I have a food allergy sensitivity to eggs and I get horrible stomach aches and I throw up all night.
The cookies disappointed me too so I never went back. LEVAIN is the GOAT 😅
Less sugar is a plus for diabetics who miss soda and the price if you can find it for less than $2 is worth it for me. I get a gut satisfaction the next day so a plus for me.
So basically people are using the word "scam" wrong, like yet another buzz word that will soon lose its meaning and weight in conversation.
a funny thing about crumbl is that i refuse to eat some because 1.) i don’t like them, and 2.) i got covid the day after i had one of their cookies
Btw orange, raspberry rose and strawberry lemon are 4 grams and lemon lime is 3 grams of sugar
The Chipotle thing is actually real. You just got lucky. Before COVID, we used to go pick up Chipotle fairly often for dinner. The bowls were always so packed full we couldn’t finish them. They’d be overflowing! After COVID they started delivering in my area. The orders used to be just as full and we were happy bc we could split bowls the kids and save money.
In the last few months, when we go in person, the bowls are still very stuffed. When we order on DoorDash and have it delivered, it’s half the size. To the point that I have photos and screenshots from submitting complaints to prove it. No matter how often I complain or how many receipts I have, nothing changes.
We also asked some employees and they said they were told to fill DoorDash orders with less food. 🤷🏼♀️
So, unless we have to, we always go pick up in person now!
Side note: the employees said their manager told them that someone that gets an order delivered through DoorDash is less likely to come in and complain, so they fill it with less, bc if they do complain DoorDash gives the customer a credit and Chipotle doesn’t lose any money giving away free food or refunds.
That’s insane!!!! So sorry you got ripped off. That’s infuriating that they admitted to it too! 😠
Oh that's what was meant by "online orders" bc in my experience, ordering through their app - albeit I always ordered for myself to pick it up - generally netted me a lot more food than they'd give me in person. As in, it used to be that when I went in person and got a burrito, it was a barely filled up sad looking thing. But when I ordered on the app it was STUFFED. In general though the inconsistencies across the board are imo sad.
I'm not sure the chipotle consistency works as well because you went to different locations, I think a better test would be same location and maybe different days or another person picking up the other order
Bloom is the absolute worst. It’s disgusting and did nothing to me except worse my stomach
Okay, not the same as the "ice cream" issue but my nephew was coming over and I asked him to pick me up some unsalted butter. About ten minutes later he called me saying did it have to be unsalted. He'd been reading them all to see the "ingredients" and they all had salt. I was making garlic butter (had harvested some very early garlic) and I was going to add a dash of salt anyway, so told him not to worry about it, I only asked for unsalted from habit. He turned up with a tub of palm oil spread with about 30% "dairy products". Tried to explain this wasn't butter, it wasn't even worth calling (bunny ears) "butter". He's 32. He doesn't bake much.
the biggest issue with bloom for me is the marketing, influencers are constantly doing undisclosed ads and pretending that they use it regularly and love the taste when you can clearly see their face says otherwise
I can absolutely taste the fakery in the iced cream
I got heartburn watching her sample all those crumbs cookies
To be fair with the crumbl and Chipotle varies by store. I'm glad you have good ones by you. I haven't gotten a poorly dressed cookie but often they're so underdone they're bordering raw. The boxed mix I believe was for a specific cookie in rotation at one point.
As someone that used to work there; I think the reason why chipotle mobile orders sometimes appear smaller is because they have *whoever is available* make the order and it may not be someone that’s confident in what a portion looks like, like it could be the cashier or someone that usually cooks the food in the back vs the person that scoops your stuff in person is very familiar with portions. If that makes sense lol 😅 I didn’t work there long tho, they have high turnover
I have a video idea. Could you do a review video on overpriced foods around the world and cook or bake them and show how easy they are to make, please? Thank youuu!
you know it's scary when they hit you with a "fRoZen dAiRy dEsSeRt" 😭😭
because it can't be labeled as Ice Cream
because in order for it to be Ice Cream it has to meet certain requirements
It has to have at least 10% butter fat to be labeled ice cream. I believe one of the 1st ingredient is skim milk and then several plant fats so it can't legally be called ice cream.
how is that scary?
Using box mix is perfectly fine. Anyone who doesn't think so is a pain the butt
What made me happy is how you said the additives were safe
Former Crumbl worker. Can’t say a ton (they do make you sign nda) but yes some cookies have mixes to get flavors but it’s always an add in like the pudding. The dough itself is always hand made. It also explains inconsistencies. If you have new workers or an oops and didn’t know it. Each batch is made from scratch. Yes sometimes preperpared but always made on site. Not frozen! Hence “no I don’t have frozen dough like Mrs. Fields and can keep them in at all times” sometimes there will be a wait for cookies to bake or flavors running out
We don't have Bloom here, but I've seen it everywhere in TikTok. The packaging makes it look like something that is meant for plants and I was wondering why people are going crazy for plant stuff - until I stopped a video and took a closee look 🙃
this is like modern day MythBusters, i love it
The ironic thing is that Häagen-Dazs and Drumsticks are both owned and made by Nestle.
I’m not sure we all have the same definition of scam...
The liquid from the drumstick is most likely the whey separating.
I like crumble cookie BECAUSE I don’t eat it all in one sitting. That way, you get to save it for longer, but you still satisfy your sweet tooth lol
Am I the only one the genuinely loves the taste of bloom😭 I mix it with pineapple cranberry juice and actually get so excited to drink in the mornings idec if it does something or not
I'm servsafe food protection and MNCRP certified and I can confidently say that in most cases even though crumbl is undercooked, the necessary bacteria has already been killed due to high temperatures. It may not be good tasting but it's not exactly a health risk
The poppi cola flavor doesn't really taste like cola, but I think it's so delicious - it's really expensive though, so I only buy it when it's on sale
The image of the box of cookies with one bite taken out of each is so funny! A bigger dessert infraction than swiping a finger of icing off a cake ;D
I'm convinced the crumbl hate is just a trend- a couple ppl on tiktok didn't like it so now ur cool if you hate it too. They're just big cookies.
I miss Fro-yo places. I don’t know why they all just went away
I have one near my house but honestly it was just a fad. Just like the cookies are rn
I've had Crumbl cookies. They were just average and not worth the money. It's not hard to make a decent cookie.
Imagine thinking four cans of soda is a lot.
At least in my city the Chipotle gives nearly double the amount of food in person and online. I weighed it before just to see. I never do mobile orders anymore I dont trust it anymore lol.
Thank you for giving a frank review about Bloom!
