I honestly have no clue how to react to this. On one hand, I feel a bit pissed because of her lack of integrity. On the other, I feel no pity for the retards who bought this. They deserve to get milked for every penny they have.Guess who is selling fake Costco re-branded cookies to her followers?
I've had these cookies before and they sucked. Why anyone would pay more so they could have the same awful cookies but with some Twitch thot branding on it is beyond meGuess who is selling fake Costco re-branded cookies to her followers?
It's the vitamin D! Everyone needs the D!I've had these cookies before and they sucked. Why anyone would pay more so they could have the same awful cookies but with some Twitch thot branding on it is beyond me
Some notes:It's okay guys, lots of people use white labels and said they come up with it. We used mushroom powder, and besides, I'm rich anyway so I don't NEED the money guys! (BTW give me money).
It took 2 years to come up with the idea of using mushroom powder for vitamin D!
She's really leaning into being the Karen of Twitch. Man, I just love the caliber of people Twitch users have made rich and famous.View attachment 5505662

3 years ago she was stepping up for these economically disadvantaged mfers and now that she's dropshipping $30 cookies she calls her critics broke pieces of shit.
People doesn't understand how manufactoring and brands work. I've worked on a processing line for a company that produces food for several different companies. We manufactored products for 2 rivaling brands with the same base products. The funniest thing is when i see people prefering one product over the other when they are exactly the same.
In this case i totally believe that Pokis cookies are based off another product that already existed and is just refined. It's very common for manufactorers to produce test batches and then sell them under other names in the supermarket in order to not waste the products. Sometimes the storebrand versions can be the exacts same as the original but it's just products that haven't met the original producers QC.
Iirc, Usually if it’s the same thing, they license the formula out for a different brand or there’s a very minor difference in formula, like in this case, it has vitamin D added
What i ment is that they started out with a base product and have made test orders. The product that they based theirs from is the ones in store now. Most likely the other ones will go away with time. I know that for one product i've worked on the minimum order was 100 packages in order for us to start production on it. In this case they probably have a bunch of test runs in order to test the food lab version versus the manufactored version and then do changes in order to make the quality better or have ingredients that are more reasonable to produce.Some people seem to think that bringing out a product to the market is as easy as just think of something and then poof the product is done. It's time consuming to start a new brand. A local brewery in my area spent 4 years on refining their products before entering the market.
I believe there is a lot more context on her twitter.
Some people seem to believe that she and her company simply are white-labeling an existing cookie, and marking it up by using her name. I don’t know specifics but she said it’s the same parent company as this other cookie, and they’ve significantly changed the recipe and that the “original” cookie is discontinued.
If they've actually changed the recipe and taste of the costco cookie, that's enough for me. Go ahead and double the price. From the screenshots people were posting of the ingredient list it seemed like they hadn't done that but Poki seemingly refuted that in her followup tweet.

She's either extremely stupid or she's doing this for notoriety. There's no other explanation. Really curious as to what direction this will go in though. Betting on it fizzling out when some other streamer gets in the limelight, and all this gets swept under the rug, unfortunately.Charlie caught wind of the clip and is now stoking the flames:

What is it with content creators branching out from just making videos and squeezing money out of idiots from streams and trying to sell actual physical products beyond merch t-shirts?
no.Good God, can't they just shut the fuck up and stream?
in the case of Poki i think she wants to branch into becoming an ackshual businesswoman and break away from the stigma of just being some dumb Twitch streamer because it'll satiate her ego when she can point out that she also runs a business even though she was only offered to slap her name onto an existing product by some hack in the food industry.What is it with content creators branching out from just making videos and squeezing money out of idiots from streams and trying to sell actual physical products beyond merch t-shirts?
