As you walk through the halls of Triton High School you may hear students conversing about this week’s ‘Crumbl’ Cookie flavors but is it really worth all the hype? Last week, Triton junior London Cole told us it’s “pretty average.”
But this year, the famous cookies have been a rising topic for students at Triton, and a weekly tradition for some.
“I think it’s fun going each week and trying the new cookies that they have,” junior Lily D’Andrea said.
But is it too much? Junior Genaro Carrillo said, “It’s just a little mushy, like… I like them soft with a nice, crisp edge.”
Even with mushy cookies,the bakery seems to be doing just fine. With over 900 locations worldwide and an income of over $1 billion per year, cousins Jason McGowan and Sawyer Hemsley have created the fastest-growing cookie company in the US since opening in 2017 according to bonappetit.com. We asked four Triton Students for their opinions on the dessert, including ones from ‘Cookie Monstah, ’ a less popular chain bake shop in Danvers, MA, that also opened in 2017.
“Cookie Monstah is so much better because they have gluten-free cookies,” junior Dani Prendergast said, “they make me feel included.” The newly popular shop has gluten free options which is something that ‘Crumbl’ lacks in their sweet shop for their customers with allergies. Differing from Dani, junior Bella Carmody said “I really like Crumbl Cookie…I try and get it every week.”
The student’s opinions are untied by senior Rowan Cole and sophomore Maecy Gay-Killeen who both chose Crumbl as their #1. “I love it,” said Rowan Cole.
The fun isn’t over yet though, for Triton and their love for Crumbl, Mr. Robert Lathrop said, “VTV is looking to pair with Crumbl Cookie…our goal is to be able to create social media posts for them, that would advertise their flavors of the week, in exchange for a free box of Crumbl Cookies.”
