Guava cake was amazing, mine tasted a good amount of guava, but it does have a more overpowering taste of vanilla for sure. Poptart tastes exactly like poptarts, and you are right, it does taste better than a regular poptart. Cheesecake was amazing! Very chilled cookie and it has an overpowering taste of grahama cracker. Cookies and cream was delicious too and it also has that chilled taste. And yeah I can see that the frosting on top of your Cookies and Cream cookie looked a little dry and not fresh at all. Sorry to hear that man. Monster is such a basic cookie but has a good amount of different flavors in the cookie such as oats, peanut butter and chocolate. Great review as always man! Take care!
Nice hearing from you as always. I felt like it was a solid week in cookies, just wishing that Cookies & Cream Milkshake was fresh. Looking forward to our next adventure, whatever that may be!
Some really good ones this week buddy! I need to try them all lol. Oh I also got my platinum trophy in Final Fantasy 10-2 last night. It was a pain. Working on 12 now.
If have to say new York cheesecake or the pop tart one was my favorite this week!! I have to say I loved the guava and Oreo one more than I expected to. I'm always putting hate on semisweet chunk but it was actually good 😂
Just watched last week review yesterday, so I'm excited for a new one. Being a competitive eater must be so hard with the calories surrounding the practices
Dealing with the calories is always difficult. A large number of competitive eaters on UA-cam routinely throw up after they do an eating contest. This is what allows them to do 3-4 of them per week and not gain weight. I know this because I've been to tons of the places they have and the owners/management have told me at many of these places that they go in the bathroom afterwards and vomit. I never throw up and I'm not exactly young, so it takes A LOT of diet and exercise to offset these meals, allowing me to do a maximum of 1 per week. And even offsetting that can be challenging.
Ah, early this time. I think the Cookies and Cream w/Oreos would be my favorite in this lineup, but the Monster one may come a close call. I always love peanut butter and chocolate. You should still be happy with that weight loss last week despite having what is likely a high-calorie splurge on the Cheeseburger Challenge as well as the weekly Crumbl Cookie review (also high in calories). Every little bit of weight loss per week should encourage you to keep going while still enjoying the cheat meals. Again, it all comes down to your weekly calorie balance.
Haha, no detail goes unnoticed by you. I'm pretty sure I'm not losing weight this week. Crumbl on Monday. Training session on Tuesday. Competition on Saturday. I need to have a strict week after this is over.
Good luck with your competition. I already know you are going to kill it. The weight loss will come at the rate that best fits your life. It is not like you have a physics competition. You do you and we will be here to support you. Keep up the hard work. And of course fantastic review as always. Now for my review of this week's cookies: Guava Cake - Unfortunately the guava isn't a strong enough flavor to cut through the cream cheese frosting. You get a hint of tartness but not enough to not make this just another cream cheese cookie. So it gets the usual cream cheese cookie score from me. 7/10. Monster feat. M&M - How does this cookie have so much in it but taste so bland? All you taste is chocolate chips while the cookie itself is dry from the oats. It is just the worst version of the normal chocolate chip. 4/10. New York Cheesecake - The graham cracker is a good compliment to cream cheese and this cookie does capture the cheesecake feel. But there is not enough differentiation of flavor. Some jams like strawberry, blueberry, or lemon would make this cookie pop. Which are different and better versions of this cookie. Still good but a little too simple. 9/10. Cookies and Cream Milkshake - I didn't get milkshake vibes from this cookie. I got more of a reverse Oreo focusing more on the cream and less on the chocolate cookie. The icing tastes just like the cream in an Oreo cookie and I like the Oreo cream, the best part of the cookie IMO. There was still a hint of chocolate but it was not enough to make this cookie bad for me. 7/10. Brown Sugar Cinnamon - I love cinnamon and I love cinnamon pop tarts but this cookie is too much and too little at the same time. That being the brown sugar. When you get bits of it not being there, the cookie is very dry and tasteless. But when you get to the center, you get flooded by brown sugar. Way more than what you would get in the pop tart. They need to distribute the brown sugar evenly and just doing that would get an extra point from me. Nice try but this cookie needs a rework. 6/10. - This week was pretty good. At least better than the last couple of weeks. Although nothing that makes me want more of this week. Hopefully, next week will be just as good if not better. Update about me. I'm doing okay. Stressed like usual and my stress hives are kicking my butt. I just have a lot on my plate and juggling everything puts a lot of pressure. Physically I am doing well. I'm killing it in the gym during the weekends and I'm almost doing the full routine again. But I am feeling it days after. I don't have the time to go weightlift during the weekdays but as of right now, I don't have the strength or recovery either. One day I will and hopefully, I will be happy with my results or adjust accordingly. But that is a problem for future me. For now, my tone and abs are starting to come back while the previous mental anguish of my diet is no problem anymore. So slowly but surely I will get the physic I want through the diet and exercise I can tolerate. Anyway, that is it for me. Thanks for reading and the support.
I have to say, I'm quite surprised by your rating of the Brown Sugar Cinnamon. I thought you would love that cookie. I ended up having another one after my eating competition on Saturday and it was even better than the first one I had. Reading your post just reminds me of the constant work and struggle that goes into proper balance of diet and exercise and the highs and lows that we experience through the process. The grind is real and sometimes we go through seasons where things just seem to come so much easier and other times everything we do becomes tough. I good to hear you are doing great with almost everything. Stress is a killer man. You know this. Whatever can lighten the mental burden is almost always worth it in the long run.
I think the lack of guava flavor must be do to the recipe itself because a lot of ppl are saying what you have said. That its just a vanilla sugar cookie with vanilla cream cheese frosting. No gauva flavor whatsoever. Which is a big disappointment.
The guava flavor is only in the colored part of the frosting, so it depends how much you get. His is only 50% flavored. Mine had guava flavor but my frosting was all colored not half white
I hardly tasted peanut butter or oats in mine. It wasn't sweet at all. I didn't like it much. If not for the semisweet (which was the only thing really having lots of flavor) I would have disliked it. So bland if not for the semisweet but any bites without them was sooooo bland.
definitely think the 9 for cookies and cream milkshake was way too high given his rationale but the 7.5 for guava makes sense according to his rating system in the description
Lol, you are free to rate the cookies however you feel fit. If you would have read my how I rate the cookies in the description, you would understand why I rate the way I do. I give tremendous thought to this prior to giving the rating. As I've stated many times, my ratings aren't based on how accurate the cookie is to its description, but how tasty it is. Not having guava flavor in a guava cookie has no bearing on the rating. I rate it on how much I like it. As for the stale Cookies & Cream Milkshake getting a 9. It absolutely was a 9. A simple test was asking myself which cookie I would rather have again. The Monster (which I rated an 8.5) or the stale Cookies & Cream Milkshake, and the answer is the stale Cookies & Cream Milkshake all day long. So I stand by my ratings. I don't rate cookies the way everyone else does, nor do I eat cookies the way everyone else does.
I love watching these during my cardio sessions, maybe it’s just me but after some time eating donuts from glaze donuts and cookies as a cheat day or a meal I got bored of it and now I enjoy way more having lots of things from a good local bakery and I don’t feel like crap after eating it :D

he doesnt actually swallow any of the cookies saddly.

@@MrElementalHorror trust me. He does.
so why do you have to cut every time your about to swallow the food? show a uncut version. @@cheatmeallife2322
Oreo milkshake the best cookie for the day, it can be m&m too.

I do agree, I find these type of cookies on the bland side as well
Has there been a cookie he’s hated?
Yes, the Mint Brownie. Terrible cookie, lol
Not guava and give it a 7.5? 0-4 is more real Stale and 9? M a y b e 5. A sweet bomb. Unrealistic ratings
definitely think the 9 for cookies and cream milkshake was way too high given his rationale but the 7.5 for guava makes sense according to his rating system in the description

a good local bakery blows any crumbl cookie out of the water
@@RelaxAndSmokeMeth exactly , u can eat much more better things in range of those calories even of a single cookie lol
I would certainly agree with that... sadly, a good local bakery doesn't exist anywhere remotely near where I live
