I have realized (maybe too late) that cookie dough is having its downfall… especially since i realized that this “iconic” and “viral” place in nyc is now a flop !!

I would never do this normally but I waited 3 hours to get in like the week it opened and I was so disappointed would never go back. I also feel like they opened in the same time period Nestle and Pillsbury switched to safe to eat dough and I could save so much money but just buying theres.

The problem isn’t cookie dough by itself but the dough these stupid places sell tastes nothing like real salmonella laden dough when you make it at home. I’ve literally pre-cummed every time I made a brown butter cookie dough and ate a bit. The cooked cookie never comes close.

I feel like there’s just to little appeal to these places. There’s the initial attraction of trying and being able to eat something that tends to be perceived as “forbidden treat” (like a childhood wish) but once that appeal is gone it’s just overpriced af and often sickeningly sweet, there’s no sophistication to it etc.
Really makes me wonder why places like Rice to Riches or an Oatmeal restaurant can never grab foot.

It seems like many dessert trends come and go, and the business that spearheaded the trend tend to fall the hardest.
I’ve personally noticed this with Asian-inspired ice cream trends — rolled ice cream, for example, was everywhere in Chinatown around 2015-2016 with multiple businesses specializing in it. 10Below was one of the most popular with locations around the city but has since closed entirely. Now some shops still sell rolled ice cream, but usually as part of a larger menu of treats, as it’s no longer “viral” as it once was when it first hit the dessert scene.

Makes sense. They were a mind Eff. Looked like ice cream but was just thick and heavy and not at all refreshing.
I have never before wanted a gigantic scoop of cookie dough. I still don’t.
