Does Crumbl or Mrs. Fields make the better cookie? Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. When it comes to making delicious cookies, who do you trust more? A beautiful blonde woman or a set of cousins from Utah? Well, that’s the question I’m constantly asking myself. Same. I guess we could just taste cookies to help us figure this out. Well, I got nothing better to do. Same. It’s time for Food Feuds, Crumbl Cookies versus Mrs. Fields. Hey, guys. Hey. Hey. I’m. Usually, I’d be really excited because there’s cookies, but I’m just not feeling. I’m just not feeling it today. What’s wrong? I don’t know. Like, usually when I feel this way, the only thing that can help me is when a man like tears off his shirt and monologues. I guess that’s not gonna happen, though. In nineteen fifty-six, the Southdale Shopping Center in Edina, Minnesota offered the world a brand new experience. No longer did you have to venture into the twin city metropolis to get a manicure, a hot dog and a new vacuum cleaner. No, you could get that all under one roof. And all from the comfort of your newly built suburban enclave. The decades long rise of the American shopping mall birthed new promises of prosperity, new disaffected youth subcultures and a new national smell. The familiar waft of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies tinged by a nimbus cloud of Hollister perfume. But history waits for no one. As online shopping decimated malls, so too did it. Decimate the mall cookie. Today a champion will be crowned, as Mrs. Fields, the last vestige of brat pack greatness relegated to plastic packaging and a handful of dwindling strongholds takes on Crumbl Cookies, the social media sensation of a calorie, maximalist Apple store fever dream that sells one million, Rhett, one million cookies per day. Do we cling to familiar anachronisms or do we embrace the inevitability of a technocratic future? The answer, my friends, is in how the cookie crumbles. He is human. He is human. That was. What are the chances? I am so inspired. That was great, Stevie. Now you’re feeling good? I feel great. We’re gonna kick things off with the basics. Classic milk chocolate chip cookies. Of course, Crumbl’s menu changes weekly, so today we’ll be food feuding with their current offerings. On Rhett’s side is Crumbl’s milk chocolate cookie for four ninety-nine. And on Link’s side Mrs. Field’s milk chocolate chip cookie for three ninety-nine. I mean, the Crumbl cookie is so thick that the chocolate doesn’t even come through the bottom. And look at how much bigger. It’s bigger. But that doesn’t necessarily mean better. I mean, Crumbl Cookie, you never know exactly what you’re going to get. You can’t even count on getting this one every time. I don’t think. Are you kidding me? You never been to Crumbl cookie? They have like a. They have a box and you can. My kids have gotten them. And they have different ones each week. And you eat them and you love them. Thank you for explaining that. I would think that you’d really like this is, I mean, it’s super doughy. Not crispy. I like it. I would say they’re not that crumbly. They’re more gently and moistly breaking. They’re good. But you’re right, they’re not, like, they’re a little rubbery. Like Mrs. Fields is almost a little crumblier. It’s thinner. It has a very nostalgic taste. The chocolate is strong with this one, but not necessarily in the best way. But the cookie is really good. This is so doughy and cakey. There’s a fakey taste to the Mrs. Fields in comparison. There’s a danger with Crumbl Cookie that you can get into cake territory. Or like a cookie brownie type thing. I do appreciate that hard bottom. Because I feel like that’s what makes a cookie. That’s one of the aspects of a cookie. You gotta have a hard bottom, Stevie. Listen to that. Point three, hard bottom. See, there’s none of that over here. But. Wait, wait, wait, wait. What do you mean? What’s a soft bottom example? This one. This one. So you’re saying. See, look. That’s just plainly not a cookie. Round one. Crumbl Cookies is not a cookie. Well, they’re all like that. I think you should have a hard bottom on a cookie. Not too hard. I don’t like a hard bottom, by the way. A little hard. I disagree with it. You like a soft bottom? I like a soft bottom. Like a hard, tight bottom. I mean, just a hard bottom. I like it soft. Soft and mushy throughout. Okay. We’ve destroyed these cookies. This is tough. I just don’t like the taste of Mrs. Fields compared to this. But I like her hard bottoms. This is a little outdated. It needs some sea salt. Crumbl. That’s a seven. I love it. As long as it doesn’t get too cakey. I’m not ashamed to give this an eight. Don’t. Don’t be ashamed. That is an eight, over here, I think. I think it’s beautiful. I like the boldness in going thin. There’s an exactness to it. Yeah. I’m gonna give it a six. Okay. I’m gonna go all the way down to a five for Mrs. Fields. I just think that she has not innovated in all this time. In, you know, my tongue is no longer a nineteen eighty-four tongue. And I’m making this into a cookie to give to Josh. He deserves it. Don’t tell him you squished it together from others. He did great with that speech. Next up on Rhett’s side, you’ve got Crumbl’s classic pink sugar cookie for four ninety-nine. And on Link’s side is Mrs. Fields frosted sugar cookie for four forty-nine. But before you try them, a reminder about our ongoing Food Feuds crew tournament. Currently, Lauren is in the lead, holding steady at number one, while Amy and Lisa are tied for second. Let’s see what we can do about that, Lauren. Josh. Hey. These cookies. There were some cookies that we had on the show that were inside packaging that you could get at the grocery store that had this frosting on them that seemed like that was the thing that people were into, like two years ago. Do you know about these? I do. I cannot remember the name of them, but they were really big in elementary school for me. Kids would bring them as like a birthday treat. And they’re super divisive because it’s almost not even a cookie. It’s like a biscuity. Lofthouse. Yeah. Lofthouse. This feels like the answer to that. Because it’s kind of cakey? I gotta say. Very soft. I really like this. Very doughy. I like the cakiness of it. Mrs. Field is also very soft and cakey. But she’s got sprinkles. Wow. Her icing is bonafide birthday cake icing Crumbl Cookie. And again, every week they change. The only thing you can count on is either a milk chocolate chip or a semi sweet chocolate chip cookie. So out of the four that you get, you’re gonna get that one. The last time we got it, we got this like really cakey thing at the end. And then you find yourself, if you’re me, doing things like taking all that off and just trying to eat it as a sugar cookie. Yeah. You’re special, Link. Well, let me just say I think that this particular cookie is for people who like icing. That’s kind of the point of this cookie. But I’m isolating the sugar part. They’re both really good. Mrs. Fields doesn’t play. I mean. I don’t know. Yeah. I don’t know which one I like better. This one’s close. I’m gonna give this a. They’re both good in their own right. Wonderfully stacked, fluffy, yet moist and gooey sugar cookie. I’m gonna give it a six. I’m gonna give it a seven. I’m gonna give it a seven. I was going too hard. I’m gonna give it a seven. I’m giving it a seven. And my question is whether or not I’m gonna also give this one a seven. Because they’re different. These are thinner. It’s a great dough. I think I might like the cookie icing better than just a birthday cake icing. I think I like the birthday cake icing better. I’m tying this round. Sevens all around. Mrs. Fields. I am, as well. I’m pulling for you, kinda. I mean, you’re an old lady. She’s dead. I feel like this icing is better than that icing, but that cookie is a little bit better. So sevens as well. Okay. Sevens all around. We basically proved ourselves informative, yet worthless. I think. She is dead. Right? Switching it up this round with some chocolate cookies. On Rhett’s side you have the Crumbl chocolate cake batter cookie for four ninety-nine, and on Link’s side is Mrs. Fields triple chocolate cookie for four twenty-nine. Dang. So, Josh, Mrs. Fields. She’s not dead? No. Despite the fact that they declared bankruptcy in two thousand and eight, Mrs. Fields was started by Debbi Fields when she was in her mid twenties as a housewife. And she said she was often very confused that people thought she was a grandmother. Dang. I’m sorry, Debbi. Yeah. Cause you got like a Mrs. somebody making cookies. You like to picture, I don’t know, an older lady. You can picture whatever you want while you’re eating the cookies, man. Okay, thank you. I like picturing older ladies. Older than what? You? Depends, man. This is really cakey. It’s almost brownie-ish. That’s what I warned you about. Crumbl can get too cakeish. But I don’t know if I don’t like it. It may have happened here. That’s the thing. This one. Is that nut? Well, it’s a little on the edge, but I wouldn’t say it’s wild. There’s like a white chocolate Kiss in there. Are there nuts? No, I think it’s just a. It’s a. It’s called a triple chocolate cookie. So I think it’s just different. White chocolate. Chocolates. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate. I think there’s two different chips and then the cookie itself is chocolate. Man, I’m torn. There’s something I respect about the consistency or the cookie nature of the Mrs. Fields. And you know what it is? Is that you know it’s a cookie. That young woman who started a business and now is just a cool middle aged woman. A not dead woman. Right. Knows what a cookie is. She’s totally alive. This, Crumbl is bumbling their way into cake world. People love this though. They love it, they love it. And it’s. It’s too much, it’s too much. We’re sitting down to watch. You want to start a beef with Crumbl? Is that what’s about to happen? Don’t Jimmy John’s Crumbl. I can’t Jimmy John’s Crumbl. You gotta hold back on that kind of thing. They gotta know where the line is. And I feel like they’re flirting all over it, you know? Well, I’m gonna give them some demerits for it. Well, but like, when you listened to what I said, Link, which I really appreciated, it is the cake batter, chocolate cake batter cookie. That’s what they call it, so they’re not like hiding it, you know? It’s so rich. Is still a brownie cake thing and I just. They need to be careful. And the only way for. The only power I have is in the numbers. I’ll give them a six. I still like it. I gotta give it a four. I gotta give it a four. You know? Cake batter in a cookie, you’re flirting with disaster. Over here, it’s everything you would want in a chocolateified cookie. I’m gonna give it a seven. I’m gonna give this one a seven as well. Okay. I like it more, but there’s still a little bit of a fakey chocolate taste that keeps me from getting above a seven. I don’t know what it is. I’ll talk to Mrs. Fields, who’s still alive. I’ll call her and ask her. Are you a Dungeons and Dragons fan? You like a little RPG action?

Okay, it’s the mini cookie round, because according to our cookie experts, the smaller size does change the cookie consistency. On Rhett’s side is Crumbl’s mini milk chocolate chip cookies sold six for seventeen ninety-nine. And on Link’s side is Mrs. Fields’ Nibbler’s milk chocolate chip cookies sold six for seven ninety-nine. Nibblers. This is just dough, man. I didn’t know about this, but I’m excited because I can see how they’ve scooped out the dough, and it’s not even fully baked. This is just dough. So good, though. How could you not love this? Not too many chocolate chips either. I can eat around the chocolate chip if I just want that dough taste. Never had those. I didn’t know that existed. This seems like the thing that you would request. This is really good. I mean, look at that. Just look how. It’s just so doughy. That was mine. That’s yours. I thought she was gonna say that was my nickname in high school. Doughy. These have a lot more chips, because they’re smaller. These look like Chips Ahoy soft. I would think that you might be into that. The ratio of chocolate to cookie is more in the chocolate territory. They’ve got that, like, nice crunch, but also softness. They’ve got the perfect balance of that. If you like a little of both. I think that. I’m an extremist. The negative thing about Mrs. Fields is concentrated in these cookies. The thing that, the reason I don’t like a soft batch is because it tastes like it was manufactured. Yeah. And something about these brings out that manufactured taste in a really strong way. Now, the lack of chocolate chips in these would probably be a demerit for most. Well, actually, you know, I think this is actually perfect. I think there’s a perfect amount in this, and you get them in every bite. Right. Unless you’re trying to, like, dodge them. Now, are you taking the names into consideration? There’s the minis. And then there’s the Nibblers. You don’t like the name Nibbler? I didn’t say either way. I just was saying it’s a marketing stance. Nibbler’s a good name. I like it. Are these Nibblers? Those are the Nibblers, man. Nibbler. That’d be a good superhero villain. It’s the Nibbler. He just slowly bites at your edges. Okay. All right, I’ve got to go gusto here. What’s happening? What is this? Is it a message from the Nibbler? In the event that Rhett or Link makes a Mrs. Field Nibbler’s joke, all the money in their wallets must be forfeited and distributed amongst the crew. Oh, no. Well, did we do that, though? First of all, Stevie, you framed us. You were like, maybe you want. What? What do you think about Nibbler? I didn’t say I. Hey, listen. I didn’t say. I didn’t say I wanted to nibble or Nibbler Mrs. Fields. Because she is a live woman. There’s some ambiguity. That’s the best time to nibble. I only nibble dead women. What? I didn’t say that. Hey, man, have you seen Mrs. Fields’ Nibblers? It’s something that they were hoping we would say. I don’t. I don’t know. They’re so nib-lable. Money n my wallet. Do I have money in my wallet? I don’t even have my wallet. Oh, you have my wallet. Oh, no. Oh, no, Chase. One, two, three. Four dollars. I have ten euros. I hope the exchange rate is good. Thank you. I only keep ones, and you only keep euros, which is so strange. All right, I’m gonna go full force and give this a nine. Nine. I’m giving it an eight. Yes. It’s very solid. Over here, Nibblers, I’m gonna give you an extra point for the name, and you’re gonna arrive at a five. I’m gonna give it a five as well. For our final round, you’re trying the things on the menu that aren’t cookies. On Rhett’s side is Crumbl’s german chocolate cake dessert for four ninety-nine. Because Crumbl usually offers one non-cookie item in their weekly rotation. Yep. And on Link’s side is Mrs. Fields’ double fudge brownie for four sixty-nine. I mean, this is just a whole cake. And they’re not apologizing for being a cake at this point. This is for the people who are like, oh, you ordered cookies? I’m more of a cake person. I mean, of course. I’m gonna crap all over this. I’m a cookie guy. But this is the slot where it can be something else. It’s supposed to be something else. Yeah. That’s not a cookie. So, I wont crap all over them. We had this four days ago. We had a Crumbl cookie box at the house. With a cake in it? Yes, that one. You didn’t taste it? I didn’t even taste it. Or forcing you to taste it. I’m glad I didn’t. I don’t like it. It’s a really good German chocolate cake. I’m not even German, and I can say that. Because you’re not German. I’m not German. I’m not gonna eat a. What’s happening over here? A brownie with a fork, though. This is sad, but really tasty. That’s a good brownie. Crispy on top, gooey on the inside. That’s reliably perfect for a brownie. What was sad about it? The look of it. Like, it looks like unturned soil. That’s how I like my brownies. This is so over the top. Yeah. It’s just too much. For anybody who likes the cakiness of what they do. This is just like moving all the way into a cake and just being like, okay, here it is. And if you don’t watch out, this is where y’all gonna end up across the board, Crumbl Cookie. Y’all need to watch yourself. Seven. It’s just too much. You’ve got so many other things. It’s already. You’re already so rich already. Four. I also don’t like the taste of it. This is a really solid brownie. I’m gonna give the brownie an eight. It’s not trying to do. I’ve had better. But that’s a good brownie. I think it’s a reliable, no frills eight for me as well. Nope. Seven. Seven. Okay. I’m going for a seven. There we go. The highest I rated anything was a nine today. I can’t be going with an eight for this. You’re right. Where does that leave us, Stevie? It was a close race with Mrs. Fields having a sixty-four, which may be her age now. Close to it. But Crumbl Cookie just beat her out by three points. A total of sixty-seven. Congratulations, Crumbl. Hey, you’ve won a chance to sponsor a future GMM episode. Let’s do it. I mean, speaking of beating her out, Lauren is still holding on to number one in the crew tournament. But now it’s just Lisa at number two who beat out Amy all the way down at number five. Amy. Oh, wow. Amy. Sorry. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. You know what time it is. Hi, I’m Noah.
