Benson Boone's Crumbl Cookies collaboration is getting an encore
On June 29, Crumbl announced that its partnership with the 'Beautiful Things' singer — the Moonbeam Ice Cream Cookie — is making an encore appearance on Crumbl's rotating menu, marking the first time in Crumbl's history that a limited-edition treat has made back-to-back appearances on its weekly lineup.
The otherworldly dessert (first offered from June 23 until June 28) is inspired by a lyric from his April single ' Mystical Magical ' and will again be at all Crumbl locations from Monday, June 30 until Saturday, July 5.
'Moonbeam ice cream, taking off your blue jeans,' he sings on the Billboard Hot 100 hit off his sophomore album, 'American Heart' which dropped June 20. (In case you're wondering about the lyric's meaning — it doesn't have one.)
Crumbl says Boone's chilled chocolate cookie channels the same 'mood and magic as its musical muse' and features cookies and cream pieces, a psychedelically colored lemon, berry and marshmallow topping, a drizzle of white icing, and cookies and cream sprinkle.
'Turns out one week just wasn't enough for the cookie that had fans seeing stars,' Crumbl writes in a press release, and Crumbl CEO and co-founder Jason McGowan adds that fans asked for the cookie to come back, so the company decided to be 'here for it — with backflips!'
'We've never done an encore before, but when a cookie creates this kind of buzz, we knew we had to bring it back,' McGowan says.
Fans on social media are indeed excited for the cookie's return, with one writing, 'So happy moonbeam ice cream cookie is back.'
Sawyer Hemsley, Crumbl's chief brand officer, co-founder and noted backflipper himself, says Boone was very hands-on in crafting the cookie flavor, noting his 'creativity, passion, and musical energy' made for a fun collaboration.
'We took the way his song makes you feel and turned it into something you can taste,' said Hemsley in a press release.
Boone has crafted a reputation for his falsetto voice, jumpsuits with deep V-necks, backflips and what some find to be annoying behavior.
And that's not an insult — just a fact — as there are think pieces and Reddit threads exploring why he seems to push people's buttons. The singer is fully aware of this facet of his career, noting in a TikTok earlier this year that if people are going to 'hate me or my music at least have a good reason for it.'
He even poked fun at the haters in his most recent music video for the track ' Mr. Electric Blue.' In it, he repeatedly backflips on a trampoline, wears a T-shirt that reads 'one hit wonder,' sells discount jumpsuits and says being the 'most overplayed artist in the world' is 'all (he's) ever wanted.'
A little girl also tells him his 'music is terrible' as he serves her ice cream, so you have to at least give him points for self-deprecation.

Noughties rap icon Soulja Boy arrested by cops during Los Angeles traffic stop after being ‘caught with gun'
This is not the first time the artist has been arrested STAR SHOCK Noughties rap icon Soulja Boy arrested by cops during Los Angeles traffic stop after being 'caught with gun' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NOUGHTIES rap icon Soulja Boy has been arrested after allegedly being found in possession of a gun. The 35-year-old, real name DeAndre Cortez Way, was taken into custody after a vehicle stop in Los Angeles, according to the LA Police Department. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Soulja Boy has reportedly been arrested in LA Credit: Getty 3 He was arrested after a traffic stop Credit: Getty The Crank That (Soulja Boy) artist was stopped at around 2:30am on Sunday morning on Melrose Avenue, LAPD officials told NBCLA. Police told TMZ that "officers spotted a firearm in" the vehicle that Soulja Boy had been a passenger in. It is not clear why the vehicle was initially pulled over. The rapper was booked on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm shortly after 6am. It's not yet known whether he has since been released. Soulja Boy is yet to publicly comment on the incident. On Saturday night, Soluja Boy had posted videos on Instagram from his birthday party at LA nightclub Poppy. The artist is best known for his 2007 hit Crank That, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks and scored him a nomination for best rap song at the Grammys. He was previously arrested and charged with a felony offence for carrying a loaded gun during a 2014 traffic stop in LA. And in April this year, he was ordered to pay more than $4m in damages to his former assistant who accused him of sexual battery and abuse. The unnamed woman sued the star, claiming he regularly raped her and beat her - and sometimes kept her prisoner - when she worked for him. Soulja Boy had denied abusing her and insisted their relationship was consensual - but a jury in a civil trial found him liable for sexual battery, assault and gender violence. More to follow...
