Hunt For The Perfect Cookie (taste test)
Ойын-сауық
Looks like CRUMBL has some new competition
Today we ate 21 cookies acquired from popular cookie chains, inexpensive ready to bake grocery store brands, and up-and-coming high quality cookie chain Taylor Chip to see who makes the PERFECT cookie!
We’ve been happily eating cost effective cookies our entire lives and, while admittedly having many positive experiences with brands like CRUMBL and insomnia, we have found ourselves wondering if a classic Nestle Toll House cookie is all we really need or if gourmet companies like Taylor Chip are worth the purchase.
We hope you enjoy this hunt for the perfect cookie as much as we enjoyed eating them all!
While you’re here, please be sure to drop the video a Like and subscribe if you’re new to our eating show!
Much love,
-Pete & Nate

FAQ’s:
Most of your questions were probably answered in this video:
• The Longest Mukbang Ch...
Extremely insightful video into how it works:
• How Matt Stonie stays ...
Q: How do you not gain weight?
A: Endurance sports (primarily running, cycling and some resistance training) and extreme discipline & sacrifice with our daily diets is how we manage not to gain weight. We eat mostly vegetables, fruits, some whole grains and low fat dairy on the days outside these videos. The calories consumed in a food challenge or mukbang are the only calories consumed that day and sometimes the day following as well seeing our appetites are typically shot from so much food and the thought of eating is very off-putting. Two days out we are back to large amounts of vegetables and increase to maintenance from there. We also often eat most of our days calories in a smaller eating window (we frequently bounce between intermittent fasting & OMAD diet as it just seems to work with our lifestyles and eating preferences). Anyone with a larger than normal stomach capacity like us, the drive to push through the discomfort of a challenge like this, and a basic understanding of energy balance (calories in vs calories out) can do it with enough disciple and intention (not that we recommend it).
Also worth mentioning is that we do not exercise to burn the calories consumed in a video but rather we are able to consume higher calorie diets due to our participation in endurance activities and said discipline with our daily diets.
Q: Can you make a “What I eat in a day” / fitness focused video?
A: While we’re sure that type of video will eventually make its way out there, this is not a health and fitness channel and we intend to primarily focus on indulgent food entertainment. We’re still in the very early stages of establishing ourselves within this genre and we’re constantly experimenting and trying to improve upon our style to make our channel a unique experience. Food is our passion while fitness is our discipline so, while we currently only have the availability to produce one quality piece of content a week, fun food-centered videos is where we’ll be focusing our attention (and trust us, it’s more fun for all of us this way). That’s not to say it will never happen, but it’s not a top priority for us.

We couldn’t appreciate the love more and so happy you look forward to the videos! 😃
when i found your channel like 5 days ago, i really thought you guys had over a million subscribers with how high quality you make these videos. keep it up!!!!!!!
I think the price should definitely be considered more… the fact that you can get an entire tray of cookies for the cost of one of the high end ones says a lot… I love your taste tests… especially name brand vs generic or cheap vs high end… the blind tastings are my favorite!!! I’m pretty close to Lancaster… I’m going to have to check out Taylor chip!!! Thanks as I hadn’t heard of them… we don’t have a crumbl near me or insomnia..
I love the fact that whenever you taste an amazing or spectacular food or combos your eyes are just popping out hahahah that's so cute to see the excitement and happiness in Pete's eyes, sometimes I see a little happy kiddo in them. Love you guys so so so much, take care of yourself!!!

Hahah, we really do have some intense visceral reactions to trying undeniably epic treats 😂 We couldn’t appreciate the love and kind words more! Much love to you!
Great video on comparisons. Just got a crumbl cookie in my area and I have to say I was impressed. I like that Taylor Chip uses all natural ingredients, but ordering from them out of state is overpriced. $50 for 6 cookies is double crumbl or insomnia, and no matter how good it tastes no cookies are worth that price. Hope they get more popular to expand and cut costs for everyone to enjoy.
Not sure how this channel doesn’t have at least 100k subs.

YESSS this is my kind of video 😍 Especially with that caramel pretzel round omg. Though I love every video you two put out! If you guys haven't tried semi sweet from Crumbl it is coming back soon and it is in my top 10 flavors - MILES better than their milk chocolate chip. I've never heard of Taylor Chip but if a location opens near me I would totally go in a heartbeat

Knowing you are a fellow cookie connoisseur, we honestly would say you NEED to try Taylor Chip some day!! Their chocolate chip legit CRUSHES crumbls! The Caramel Pretzel was a bit of a miss but beyond that we were shocked 🤤 We will definitely give the Crumbl semi-sweet a chance when it arrives! It’s still nearly always their cream cheese frosted cookies that win us over in the end 😅

How did you get the Taylor cookies? Do you have a store near you or did you order them? I just went to their website and each cookie is about $7 online!!!!!!! Are they cheaper in the store? Suddenly the over $4 brookie from Insomnia doesn't sound so bad. Yikes!!
Why don’t y’all share cookies and split it in half??
between just Crumbl and Insomnia; Insomnia is wayyyy better! I don't like all the flavours though.
