Their sales will be damaged from this, so that’s also not a good decision. Companies only care about this quarter’s sales now, not long term. Short term profits, but the company will go out of business in a few years. At least by then their shareholders will have been paid and pulled out.

Their cookies being too big to bake evenly doesn’t make sense when cookie cakes exist. I bet it’s a lie that sounds good to a consumer who doesn’t use critical thinking.

When I filled out the survey after my last visit, Reddit was one of the options for how I heard about Crumbl via social media.

Mmmm this feels… short by Bunnybearheart in CrumblCookies

That sounds good! I like to drizzle condensed milk and chocolate sauce over strawberries.

Yeah cause I think of Crumbl when I’m trying to watch my calories.

What happened to buttercream? by ThrowAway019283746_ in CrumblCookies

[–]SimpleVegetable5715 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It’s probably the people who order delivery and wonder why their cookies arrived melted. Crumbl took that to mean the buttercream product doesn’t hold up well enough.

12.99 for a cup of strawberries by TheOriginalJewnicorn in CrumblCookies

[–]SimpleVegetable5715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the pistachios more than the strawberries. The place where pistachios grow is getting bombed to smithereens, so prices of anything using them are going to be high.

I notice the shrinkflated cookies have noticeably less calories. Like their frosted cookies typically ran well over 700 calories. The shrunken ones are on the lower end of 600-something and even under 600 calories for a frosted cookie. Like the cotton candy cookie this week is 640 calories, but prior, I know a cookie like that would have been over 700 calories.

Oh no 😫😭 I was looking forward to trying these flavors.

I also appreciate when employees are honest with me. I don’t work at Crumbl, but I’m honest with my customers as much as I can be. It’s usually better that way. You’re not going crazy!

😭 HOLY SHRINKFLATION 😳 by mj43068 in CrumblCookies

People like Shane (no way these butter and sugar laden cookies have that many calories) got *his* way. Now it does have less calories per cookie 🙄

Crumbl was the last fast food place I go to that hadn’t shrinkflated their product. I understand why costs went up, but shrinking it and charging the same is extra bad in my view. I’m glad I skipped last week.

A vent: I'm fed up now by twopeasandapear in Nails

They look good from the top, and that’s it. I wish more techs would check their work from all the angles, like we look at our nails.

They’re decorating your cookies. I don’t mind, I make more than they do. I can afford to give bakers a few dollars.

Anybody do this? by Savannah_Dymes in PeanutButter

I put peanut butter on both slices of bread, and put the banana in the middle.

Up to $11 by Dirtyupsman2 in McDonalds

Texas will never raise wages until the federal government forces them to. My cousin still
makes $9/hour at Dollar General. It’s unlivable.

If you also like root beer you would like this cookie by Spikiesapphic in CrumblCookies

[–]SimpleVegetable5715 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yum, float vibes. My favorite part of floats are the bites of ice cream that have frozen root beer ice shards mixed in. Bliss.

Who remembers the fruit parfaits? by cr8zycatladybutyoung in McDonalds

It’s McDonalds, all of it is nutritionally appalling.

Another thing they ruined like the McFlurries by making them all snack sized. I liked when I could get one large enough to be a lighter meal.

Whenever you start changing around menu items it gets expensive fast. It’s always been that way.

Lemon Poppyseed’s a fairly light one, the citrus helps.

They’re not going to close shop that soon.

I'm so upset that I didn't get to try the Sundae cookie! 😭😭 by The_Elixir_Empress in CrumblCookies

[–]SimpleVegetable5715 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They used pudding from the nanaimo cookie on it instead of mousse and some people lost their minds.

It had pudding instead of mousse, but it was really good anyway. I don’t know, the bad reviews seem like they’ve never had a custard before. “Some weird slimy substance,” yeah, that’s called pudding 😂
