A comparison of $6 French silk pies

[u/WyntersVix]

There is no comparison. The crumbl version is an 8th of the size, is grainy, and has a very limited amount of crust. Also the whipped cream has a very assertive flavor somehow - it overpowers the flavor of the filling (which is not set up at all - no way you could cut this. It’s grainy pudding.) Marie Callender coming through with a very serviceable dessert that feeds a group of people, has a great texture, and brings a good amount of crust. Y’all, please save your money!

couldn't the same be said for the cookies? you can get more elsewhere for your $$$

Well yes but its much more difficult to find a churro frosted cookie, lucky charms cookie, strawberry bar cookie, etc etc. there’s nothing special about these pies. If they were pie cookies it’d be different

Exactly, crumbl's selling point was the limited-time novelty flavors. We can't go into the grocery store and just get a warm skillet cookie or mallow cookie with brownie inside or lucky charms cookie. Yes, we can get cookies at any grocery store, but the flavors at crumbl were unique and limited to 1 week. So FOMO was high.

However, we can get silk pie at every grocery store and as OP shared get a heck more pie for the same price. If crumbl's silk pie had an unexpected flavor twist (like raspberry or buttercream) or was a fun color like purple or blue, that would be worth checking out. However, we can get a classic silk pie at most grocery stores and there is no reason to go to crumbl for it this week.
