Walmart Releases King Krumb Crumbl Dupe
We all know Walmart is no stranger to creating dupes for beloved products (never forget the Wirkin), so it's no surprise that they've done it again in the bakery section with their very own Crumbl dupe.
In case you're unfamiliar with it, Crumbl is a cookie shop chain that first opened in 2017 and has since expanded massively across the US and even internationally. They offer a weekly rotating menu of flavors and have even worked on celebrity collabs with the Kardashians, Olivia Rodrigo, and their latest, Benson Boone.
Walmart's new King Krumb cookies aren't offering wild rotating menus, but they do come in three flavors that mimic signature Crumbl cookies: Decadent Chocolate Chunk, Confetti Birthday Cake, and Triple Chocolate Fudge, and retail for $5.97 for a two-pack (so roughly $3 a cookie). Compared to Crumbl's $5.29 for one standard cookie (more if you get specialty varieties), it sure seems like a steal.
That said, Walmart definitely wants you (and the CEO of Crumbl) to know they are not associated with Crumbl in any way. It's even printed on their box. Good lookin' out, King Krumb.
Because every good dupe needs a side-by-side, let's take a closer look at each cookie versus its supposed Crumbl counterpart.
First up, King Krumb's Decadent Chocolate Chunk Cookie versus Crumbl's Milk Chocolate Cookie:
King Krumb actually uses semi-sweet chocolate in their cookie, and I know Crumbl purists are going to tell me that the chain offers a Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunk Cookie. However, it doesn't seem like it pops up on their menu as often (I am a Crumbl virgin, though, so please correct me if I'm wrong).
Next up, we have King Krumb's Confetti Birthday Cake Cookie versus Crumbl's Confetti Cake Cookie:
Obviously, the most notable difference here is Crumbl's signature pink frosting on their cookie that's absent from Walmart's. Instead, Walmart opts for white chocolate chips.
And last but not least (well, least for me because I despise a chocolate cookie base), King Krumb's Triple Chocolate Fudge Cookie versus Crumbl's Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie:
While Crumbl's cookie offers semi-sweet, milk, and white chocolate chips, it's unclear where the "triple chocolate" comes in for Walmart's version, since they only use semi-sweet chocolate. Is there three times the amount of chocolate...? Unclear!
Desserts are obviously personal, so reviews for the dupes so far are pretty mixed. @snackolator, an account that focuses on reviewing, you guessed, snacks and little treats, wasn't wildly impressed.

He points out that the cookies are "dry" and that there's "no comparison" to a fresh Crumbl cookie. While he says the Confetti Birthday Cake Cookie tastes the best of the bunch, each cookie gets just under a 7/10 rating from him.
On the other hand, Morgan Chomps (aka @morganchompz), another TikTok food reviewer, was all for King Krumb. "I'm not sure if I'm more of a fan of the taste or the texture," she says of all the cookies she tries. She describes them as being "soft and chewy" with more of a "bakery-style" flavor than Crumbl.
Similar to @snackolator, Morgan's favorite was the Confetti Birthday Cake, which gets a 9.5/10 from her.
It seems that the general consensus is that while the intention was for King Krumb to be a Crumbl dupe (I mean, just look at the name), they're more comparable to a standard grocery store bakery cookie.
Even so, for half the price of Crumbl, commenters are willing to give the king a try.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez wedding latest: Stars arrive in Venice for the multiday celebration amid local protests
Wedding bells are ringing in Venice, Italy. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and former TV journalist Lauren Sánchez are getting married this week in a celebrity-filled, multiday event in Venice. Stars from Oprah Winfrey to Tom Brady and multiple members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan — not to mention Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner — have come out for the festivities, as have a number of protesters, who are using the week to push back against the mega-rich. While some sources speculate that Bezos and Sánchez have already (legally) tied the knot in the United States ahead of their lavish ceremony, little is known about the specifics of their arrangements. What we do know comes mostly from photos of the event — and with many photographers eager to snap pics of the stars and power players partying in the Floating City, there's a lot to June 25, protesters in Venice sent a dummy of Jeff Bezos floating down a canal, dressed in an Amazon jumpsuit and clutching fake cash and a giant Amazon box. It was the latest in a string of demonstrations against Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding. Earlier this week, protesters for the environmental group Greenpeace unfurled a banner in St. Mark's Square featuring Bezos's face. It read: "If you can rent Venice for your wedding you can pay more tax.". Kris Jenner, as well as daughters Kim and Khloé Kardashian, arrived in Venice to celebrate the wedding. Kylie and Kendall Jenner also joined for the festivities. Back in May, Kris and Kim attended Sánchez's bachelorette party in Paris. Before there was a wedding, there was an engagement ring. Jeff Bezos popped the question to pilot and former journalist Lauren Sánchez on his $500 million yacht, which was docked near the Cannes Film Festival, in 2023. The ring itself is a doozy. In an interview with Vogue, Sánchez said that the stone in the center is a rare pink diamond with a rose-tinted hue. Sánchez hasn't confirmed the ring's carat weight, but it's estimated to weigh a cool 30 carats. The former journalist found the engagement ring in a box beneath her pillow. "When he opened the box, I think I blacked out a bit,' she also told Vogue in 2023.

Jeff Bezos's Venice wedding celebrations begin with star-studded party after fresh protests
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's star-studded wedding celebrations in Venice have begun, with VIP guests including the Kardashians descending on the Italian city. The billionaire Amazon founder and his journalist fiancee waved to onlookers as they left a luxury hotel to travel to their pre-wedding reception by water taxi on Thursday evening. Hollywood star Orlando Bloom was seen flashing a peace sign to fans as he left Venice's Gritti Palace Hotel and he was soon followed by TV presenter Oprah Winfrey, who smiled and waved. Kim and Khloe Kardashian travelled to the reception with their mother Kris Jenner - who snapped a picture of the pair on a water taxi - and other notable figures in town for the nuptials include Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. Some 200-250 A-list guests from showbusiness, politics and finance are expected to attend the events, with the wedding and its parts estimated to cost €40m-€48m (£34m-£41m). Bezos, his soon-to-be wife and their famous guests have taken over numerous locations in the city, with the couple staying in the luxury Aman hotel, where rooms go for at least €4,000 per night. The first of the weekend's many wedding parties is taking place in the cloisters of Madonna dell'Orto, a medieval church that hosts masterpieces by 16th century painter Tintoretto. While the couple and their A-list guests were all smiles, some in Venice are not happy about the wedding - with protesters seeing it as an example of the city being gift-wrapped for ultra-rich outsiders. Read more: An activist climbed one of the poles in the main St Mark's Square on Thursday, unfurling a banner which said: "The 1% ruins the world." Elsewhere, a life-size mannequin of clutching an Amazon box was dropped into one of the city's famous canals. In a bid to keep demonstrators away from Thursday's party, the city council banned pedestrians and water traffic from the area surrounding the venue, from 4.30pm local time to midnight. The couple will exchange their vows on Friday, on the small island of San Giorgio, opposite St Mark's Square. Another party will follow on Saturday - the venue for which was changed at the last-minute earlier this week.
