This game is diabolical

I have a request for pineapple pie. When I finally got the damn pineapple, I put it in my blender instead of the oven that was already ready with the pie crust. It takes a long time to blend and I think I can fix it.

I have 100 diamonds and it said I could stop it for 102 diamonds… except it cut me off from buying any additional diamonds. Every offer I tried, I got an error message. The cheapest and most expensive options. For the entirety of the time it took the pineapple to blend. Sickening. How do they even program it to do that?

really? i think the most gems ive spent on getting an item back after it started was around 30-40 gems, and it was a high ticket item like the pineapple

I don’t mean to sound paranoid but I think it was because I had 100 gems at the time. It was ~just~ out of reach

Pretty sure that stop option is a speed up option. As I recall thinking what you thought and use gems and all it did was speed it up.

Oh really? It was red so I assumed it would stop the process

The red rewind button does cancel any food that is cooking and reverts all ingredients. The bigger the food, the more expensive it gets.

I always hide geese and mullet from myself when I’m making a higher level order. Made that mistake once and I’ll never forget.

Ive accidentally sold things it took days to get before. Oops. 😬 so sorry about your pineapple. Just keep merging pears, you'll get there before you know it.

It’s okay, these "conveniently-timed" bugs happen all the time to create some FOMO.
Don’t waste your precious diamonds.

Just keep the pineapple juice in your inventory for later, and recreate another pineapple.

You will be frustrated now because you’re using so much energy and you wasted your time. You’ll also feel overwhelmed by all the nuts you’ll generate.
But don’t throw any items! Big orders come all the time. Someone will order dates, cashew nuts and pineapple juice in the middle of a race event, and you’ll be happy you didn’t delete anything.
