IRL, Crumbl is very popular amongst teens and many adults. I can’t believe this thread is still going on. I literally don’t don’t anyone IRL who doesn’t love it.


Love it is a bit of a stretch. Most people have tried it but I don't think I know of anyone who thinks it's the best cookie they ever ate.


+1 I’m the PP who said they suck. They are more like cake than cookies. My homemade cookies blow them out of the water. I don’t like store bought baked goods.


I haven't had one in awhile but I distinctly remember one being a very crumbly vanilla cake like cookie with piles of pink bubblegum frosting on top with a piece of bubble gum in the wrapper on top. That was definitely not the best cookie I ever ate, not even close. You couldn't even pick it up like a cookie.

I am guessing she is not out with her sons friend too often.


I doubt that as she seems very familiar with his interest in these. She's clearly spending time around him so go get the cookies the next time and don't buy him a gift card. He's 12? How is he supposed to get there?


His parents take him! When you give a gift card do you usually also provide transportation?


His parents don't want him to have it so why would they take him? Why give a gift that you know goes against their family wishes or rules? What a set up for failure.

I think it's a treat, it's like those mall snack cookies and cookie cupcakes we used to eat when I was in middle school in the 80s. I can't remember the name of the place but they sold the cookie cakes. Nothing was cooler than getting one of those (Mrs. Field's? - I think?) with friends and Crumbl is the 2025 Mrs. Fields.


Mrs. Field's at the mall...I worked there in high school decorating cookie cakes.

Both parents are probably what DCUM would call health nuts - always a vegetable in their breakfasts, protein in meals, asking what is inside of everything and looking at every ingredient and calories, focused adults.


They won’t actually take him if you buy the card. They are disordered eaters.


If you eat those garbage cookies you are a disordered eater. Classic American gluttony


Guess the parents found the thread—“ohs nos if my 12 year old son eats one cookie, he’ll have to be cut out of the house.”

Is $15 too much given the circumstances or just enough?


I would just take DS and the friend and let them each pick one. Why do you need a gift card on top of this?

I don't know, but these are very large and very sweet. Even one cookie in one sitting is too much.

$15 is the perfect gift card amount for Crumbl cookies. Nice of you to give him this treat, OP!

Two cookies are about $15. And so what if they’re big with sugar and ?junky? Ingredients. He’s not asking to eat them everyday.


It's like going to the bakery and getting yourself a cake to eat. Who does that? Just treat him and your son to a cookie to share next time.

Just get him a $20 gift card. If you don’t find it odd, have your son offer to set up a time to go with him and try them out. Your son can buy his own.

A free cookie at crumbl seems to be a popular prize/giveaway where we live. We receive them about twice a year and is the only time we step foot in the store. I’ve never actually paid money for any. I think they’re over priced and over sweet, but my kids enjoy redeeming their gift cards. We usually tie it into a special day like the first or last day of school or after finals are over. Nbd
