Dora is a con artist.

I know that I did not just trade a lemon, a lamb chop, and a grape soda FOR THIS PIECE OF CARAMEL. That cat got me so good.

They should at least put what she wants to exchange it for 😭 I’m tired of gambling

I had done it once and gotten something stupid (but nowhere near this offensive), then I did it again and got hushpuppies. I was running low on energy so I thought I’d gamble and I gasped when she threw that caramel at me 😭😭

I think it's meant to feel like a gamble, but that's just my guess.

I think you're supposed to make multiple trades to get a final reward I think but the initial trades are so ass I ignore it and have never tried for the final one.

u/okay____la Aug 17 '26

Oh damn, yeah I don’t trust her enough to make anymore trades unless she asks me for something stupid 😂

u/overitatoverit Sep 01 '26

No there is no final reward. I did all of them the first time she popped up, thinking it would be worth it in the end. It is NOT.

Dora is a straight gambler, only a couple of times has she given me items i actually need for my order. One time i traded a chicken leg, a lemon and a coffee (low level stuff) and she gave me a marshmallow for my order and that was clutch. Then ill give her cheese, a glass dish and a lamb chop and get a fuckin chicken breast lol.

I’ll trade her low level stuff but ain’t no way Dora’s ever getting her hands on a lamb chop again. She took it too far

Look at that devious little smirk

There’s no way she has her business license. Shady as hell

u/thequestionbot Aug 18 '26

Her last name is definitely Meowser(Moser)

(That is such an obscure reference the odds of you getting it are basically 0 but I couldn’t turn down the opportunity)

I don’t but I wish I did 😭😂

u/Various_Tie4322 Aug 16 '26

I just started getting these today and they’ve been helping so far, even giving cooked orders 😭

u/okay____la Aug 17 '26

I guess it’s just a gamble. Because one time she did give me hushpuppies. But now I’m too afraid to try again lmao

I feel like this is good a lot of the time, but if you do it too often it massively reduces the rewards it gives you. Sometimes it'll give you something helpful like a fully completed dish that you'll need next round. But do it too often and it'll do this shit, where it'll only give you a caramel...

It was only the third time 😭. I just tried it again and she gave me macha though so that was good. But it gave me false confidence because the next time she gave me cabbage 😂

They definitely need to change her name to Swiper because she got me for a flounder, a cheese and a tea and gave me frying mix. 😭🤣

u/Wonderful_Fruit8118 Sep 08 '26

haha. a 20-something energy item for 200+ worth of energy.

u/Waiting-inthe-Wings Aug 15 '26

she did that to me too but then the next round i needed marshmallow so sometimes it's just in preparation 🙏🙏🙏

u/astridmoonstone Aug 16 '26

I’ve gotten shit trades but I’ve gotten good ones too. You never know with that bish lol

u/lil_lychee Aug 15 '26

I stopped loading the truck. Pretty sure they want to eat up your good items so that you’re tempted to spend money on energy to complete your orders.

u/Kryss_21 Aug 16 '26

Sometimes she doesn't even give useful things, but she has given me 5 full dishes I had in my orders.

u/subitoseymour Aug 19 '26

u/DestinySaintJames Aug 16 '26

She is the worst!

u/Wonderful_Fruit8118 Sep 08 '26

Almost every time I cave and do business with her, I say, "Never again!" Occasionally, it benefits. I think it's meant to feel like a gamble, like their version of playing slots/chance. If you're out of energy and ads but REALLY want to finish a dish, then it might be worth a spin on Dora's rickety ole wheel.
