LateToCult 42,141 Posted October 1, 2024 Share Posted October 1, 2024 The co-founder of a popular American cookie brand has reacted after his sweet snacks were sold at an unaffiliated pop-up event that left customers in Sydney feeling dudded. Eager fans lined up in droves outside a shop on Old South Head Rd in North Bondi on Sunday, where they discovered the Crumbl Cookies were selling for $17.50 each — a staggering increase compared with the price in the US of about $A8. In response to a review on TikTok from someone saying they “cannot believe I waited an hour” to try them, Crumbl co-founder Sawyer Hemsley said: “You need to try them fresh in the US! PS: This pop-up is not affiliated with Crumbl Cookies.” Despite being founded in 2017, Crumbl Cookieshas only recently taken the internet by storm, with its loaded cookies flooding the feeds of dessert lovers all over the world. Endorsed by influencers and celebrities, Crumbl claims to be the fastest-growing cookie company in the US, selling over one million cookies every day. So when TikTok account @crumblsydney popped up, claiming the famous cookies would be coming to Australia, fans were over the moon. The account began posting TikToks in late September, showing professionally edited videos of the cookies being made and spruiking a pop-up event in North Bondi on September 29. full story: https://7news.com.au/news/aussie-fans-outraged-after-learning-crumbl-cookie-pop-up-event-in-sydney-not-run-by-the-us-company-but-instead-by-fans--c-16237523.amp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahb 17,247 Posted October 1, 2024 Share Posted October 1, 2024 Wait my niece wants some but I thought I can't bring food to Australia if it's not commercially sealed. How the hell did they get them into the country without biosecurity kicking their ass? I better look this up Do you feel him sir? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmo 82,465 Posted October 1, 2024 Share Posted October 1, 2024 Maybe those were better than the real ones because a coworker brought some to work and they were horrible, I didn’t even finish a quarter of the cookie… one of the girls said they were the best she ever had, so I said you know what let me try another one… ewww no they were disgusting, like I was eating sugar straight from the bag. I think they were raw or something Hottie Detector Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the hell did they get them into the country without biosecurity kicking their ass? I better look this up My guess is they pulled up the ingredients list from the official crumbl website and authorities deemed everything ok to cross? That’s a large volume of cookies though. 23 minutes ago, Kimmo said: Maybe those were better than the real ones because a coworker brought some to work and they were horrible, I didn’t even finish a quarter of the cookie… one of the girls said they were the best she ever had, so I said you know what let me try another one… ewww no they were disgusting, like I was eating sugar straight from the bag. I think they were raw or something Crumbl is notorious for being hit or miss. My personal opinion is that they’re mainly misses but if your location has a group of teenage girls working the shift you’re gonna get the prettiest cookies for IG.

I think they were raw or something I've had them in Texas, California, and New Jersey and they're legit horrible cookies. they don't taste gourmet, they taste like they came out of a Betty Crocker cookie box resold at the now defunct Big Lots discount store. I seriously don't get the obsession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
