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.
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.
@bubblegumplastic

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.

I assume that Chipotle workers are carefully monitored where portion sizes are concerned.

But we can’t just give people double portions for free, either. It would be considered stealing. I would guess Chipotle is similar.

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.

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.

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.

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?

I actually worked at a chipotle before and the portions we were trained to give are so much less than what is being given.

Please be nice to the workers, they're just trying to get paid.
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

They should totally be making proper chocolate mousse considering how much they charge
People who complain about rising prices at restaurants simply don't know much (if anything) about the restaurant business. All restaurants run on razor-thin profit margins, so when food prices go up, they have to raise their menu prices or they'll go out of business. I used to be able to buy a great big chile relleno burritos at Los Burritos in L.A. for 3.99 - back in the EIGHTIES. Think it costs the same now? Rising prices are a part of life, and if you don't like the fact that you have to pay more for food, maybe don't spend so much on flashy tech toys and other such unnecessary stuff. You can't have all the Neat New Stuff AND afford a decent diet, so choose where you're going to tighten your belt.
Unpopular opinion : crumbl cookies are not good
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.

You’re a brave soul Dzung. I’ll stick to diet soda instead of poppi. And I like drumsticks ice creams. 🤷♀️ They’re a convenient dessert that travels upstairs with ease. And I just want to say: there is NO, let me repeat NO actual regulation of supplements by the FDA. If you want to know about good supplements, find a dietitian instead of “influencers” from Tik tok.
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.
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!
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.
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 biggest scam is any of those “sodas” thinking they can even come close to being an actual soda.. thee audacity to claim they are the same as my beloved Dr.pepper… not even close
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've had Crumbl cookies. They were just average and not worth the money. It's not hard to make a decent cookie.
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
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.
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
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
Love when review states "Every time I try this...". If a product makes you so sick that you vomit, why do you continue trying it???
That subtle flex of sumthin sumthin cookie😅
i think also the problem with bloom is that the influencers who advertise it, don't always explicitly say that the video they have it in is supposed to be a bloom ad. consumers like to know when they're being advertised to, usually
Chipotle absolutely gives less food than they used to. They don't even give you a whole spoonful of anything. You get a partial scoop and then when you ask for more you get another partial scoop. They used to do full scoops.
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.
Drumsticks: It's not that the ice cream doesn't melt. It's that it doesn't drip due to the chocolate. In the 40 years I've been eating drumsticks and seeing their ads, I have NEVER seen or heard anything about it not melting.
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.
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
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
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.
I will say for Chipotle online orders in my area are definitely smaller than in person.
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
7:11 "I'm not going to say Bloom is a scam" yeah, for legal reasons of course 😆
I can absolutely taste the fakery in the iced cream
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.😁
Imagine thinking four cans of soda is a lot.
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.
Crumbl cookie make you sick? Pepperidge FarmⓇ remembers.
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!
The sections on Drumstick and Crumbl are absurd. I find it unfathomable how anyone would give credence to these complaints or a supposed "conspiracy." Neither factor equates to a scam.
I’m not sure we all have the same definition of scam...
My friends mom keeps trying different gut health products I keep telling her to just eat more fruits and vegetables. She’s tried like 4 of em in the past year and all of them have a proprietary blend which I don’t trust especially with vitamins and stuff like that. Like tell me what amounts of what I’m getting. I do not trust anything that says proprietary blends. And I know the U.S. FDA is pretty lax too so when something is getting investigated by the U.S. FDA you should be a lil concerned
That clear liquid coming from the drumstick.... Reminds me of the last time I bought Breyers ice cream. I accidentally left it on the counter and it melted. When I took the lid off it was foam and then that same drumstick liquid nastiness. That day I learned that Breyers ice cream is mostly air and water.
... I need to throw all my Poppi out now!!
I love drumsticks. The best part is that yonuget I just found out that they also have other flavors like chocolate, ice cream or vanilla ice cream with caramel in the middle. But I also found out they’re not good for you

No ice cream is good for you lmao. I won't stop eating it as a treat though.
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.
What made me happy is how you said the additives were safe
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
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.
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
@Tillie11351

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?
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 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.
Online orders 100% do get less food at Chipotle. Even if you ask for double, you get less. It's frustrating.
So fun to watch!
Bloom looks like the food I feed my sea monkeys.
Pretty sure Crumbl admitted to the boxed mix lol.
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 🙃
I miss Fro-yo places. I don’t know why they all just went away
I think dine-in (or in-person) orders at any restaurant usually come with larger portions, even before the pandemic.
Crumbl Cookie, A Cookie Company, No Longer Sells Sugar Cookie Regularly BS
The “healthy” soda screams like kombucha to me 😂 not new at all
I also enjoy Spindrift low sugar soda, but as it turns out only the Pink Grapefruit flavor! The others aren't so great! Reminds me of the second choice there used to be with Orangina of Oreila grapefruit flavored in the 80s.
the chipotle thing isn’t really controlled unless the same person made every single bowl. fwiw, i always got more food via online than in person. regardless, pls leave food service workers alone. they don’t make enough to be harassed, especially over tiktok bs.
idk chipotle has been pretty consistent where i go. it also depends on whos serving u. some give u a regular scoop, some give u a heaping scoop.
I loved the coconut cream pie cookie... but shes right that the cookie part was a little drier... i think it was to try to replicate/hint at what the pie crust is like.
With crumbl cookies, I just try to get really unique flavors because a lot of them just taste the same. Still love them though
I had drum sticks melt when i moved a few weeks ago rip
I love Poppi and enjoy all the flavors, but I drink them as an alternative to soda when I am craving something, I never looked at them as a nutritional supplement. Also Crumbl is gross IMO. They are way too sugary, taste under baked and overpriced. I'd much rather just make my own at home and have a few cookies for half the calories.
That "Bloom" crap is popular on the women doing the "Target shopping" shorts on tiktok, they allll toss it in the cart.
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
I possibly worked at said food place. The chipotle you go to absolutely makes a difference. Also people wo prep the lettuce and grilled veggies will come for putting too much because it takes so long to cut. The rice and beans don’t make up a lot of cost so they usually just throw whatever. It also really depends on you as a person. Its not the best environment so if your kind to workers it goes a long way especially when things like this happen and there’s a huge influx or orders because everyone “wants to test it” and not everyone is nice
For the test of the ice cream that doesn't melt, you must have the air conditioner off
