I saw this on IG and swore it was AI

I thought this was going to be a weird thread for different reasons.

That's nothing.  Iowa is way ahead of him.

He did it all for the Cookie...

Penn St wrestlers out helping to promote the new cookie, hence the very lite schedule.

What food did Tom Ryan invent?

 

 

 

The guy who came up with Pizza Hut's Stuffed Crust Pizza - Tom Ryan - also created the McGriddle, the McFlurry, The Fruit N' Yogurt Parfait, Quizno's Steakhouse Beef Dip Sub, and co-founded Smashburger.Nov 1, 2025

Five bucks per cookie they must be tasty

I can't tell if that's AI but PSU's NIL Collective has their own line of energy drinks. I accidentally bought a can last summer.

Are you sure it wasn't Donald Trump?

Easily the weirdest thing I’ve seen in the past 10 years and that says a lot

At the price he's selling them (apparently $5 a cookie, before shipping and handling), those cookies better be either the size of the mat at Rec Hall, or the real reason for him going 159-0.

size of Cael's head.

I guess it’s MAHA-approved because it uses real sugar, but is 29g of added sugar and 10g of saturated fat really “good for you”?

Looks like it’s probably made by this company -

Based on their fb page seems like this guy has been trying to sell these cookies for 15+ years (although I’d bet Cael made some recommendations), so I appreciate the dedication.  Looks like the founder is a guy from Utah so maybe childhood friends with Cael?  Can’t tell if he wrestled but the fb page does include random wrestling posts about things like Helen Maroulis and Dave Schultz

should be interesting to learn what consumers think of it.

1) They are expensive because they are produced in small runs and overpackaged in individual wrappers in a nice folding carton.

2) They are expensive because they use "healthier" ingredients, kamut flour is the main ingredient and whey, I mean way more expensive than mass produced flour.   It has all those wonderful dairy substitutes in order to double the cost while reducing flavor.  It uses organic ingredients that cost 50% more than non-organic ingredients that are chemically identical.  It has to have sugar and chocolate or no one would order a second box. 

3)  It's a lot of fat, but it is saturated fat, which is far better.  Fat isn't your enemy.

4) It has a decent amount of vitamins and minerals

5) It has lots of protein, but the protein per calorie is just awful.  Apparently, Cael's Greek Yogurt didn't test as well as his cookies.

You better be burning lots of calories and not making a big weight cut.  At $4-$5 per cookie, it's similar to artisan chocolate I've seen.  I'll pass.  I've been in the custom small run manufacturing business similar to food production.  Customer retention at that price point is very difficult no matter how good the cookies are.  Then again, people line up for a latte every day at Starbucks.

Gable Beer is pretty good.

All proceeds to the Church of Mormon?

$5 per cookie feels like a lot even for a gourmet/healthy cookie.  Looking on Amazon/Walmart/Target companies like Quest and Lenny & Larry’s (had never heard of that one) sell individually wrapped cookies for $2 or less per cookie.  I know those are probably more mass-produced and Cael hopes his tastes better but over double the price is a lot.  There is a company on Amazon called “my Cookie Dealer” selling some for $5 per cookie but the reviews are not great with some of them disappointed about the price.
