Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Ol’ Gil is back in Springfield. He returned to Springfield yesterday with the arrival of the Simpsons Babies event. Also always, Gil has another ‘deal” for us. What’s the latest gimmick he’s peddling? Well, this time around he’s offering up a few babies…Baby Moe, Baby Barney, and Moe’s Express Lemonade.
So let’s break down the details of this latest offer and determine if this deal is worth the donuts or if it’s a real lemon….
So when you first get into Springfield (well after you’ve launched the event stuff…of course) you’ll see Gil waving his arms around…just begging you to tap on him…
If you tap on him you’ll see…
Gil: So there ol’ Gil was, lunching on perfectly good avocado peels behind Taco Bell, when all of a sudden…BLAZAMMO! The Youthenizer goes off, and I notice it’s baby-ized my dear friends Barney and Moe.
Baby Moe:Never hearda ya.
Gil: So what’d’ya say, won’t you adopt some poor helpless babies and save them from the unrelenting horror of being raised by me?
At which point you’ll see his latest gimmick…
If you refuse…
Gil: No! Don’t leave these kids with me! Now I’ve got two more mouths to feed!
Baby Moe: Three if you count my baby panda, but he only eats five or ten sacks of bamboo a day. And it better be imported!
If you accept…
Gil: Yes! You’ll give these innocent children the shot ol’ Gil never had. Curse you, Mom and Dad! Why didn’t you teach me to sell timeshares sooner?
Now real quick…if you refuse the offer will go back in the store. It will be there…

Final Thought:
To me, this is a coin flip deal. It’s REALLY expensive, despite getting two characters. 299 donuts is a lot of dough-nuts. So I’m kind of lukewarm on this deal, although I did purchase it.
The fact that the Lemonade stand comes with a 5.5% bonus is nice, and the new information that the characters will earn premium currency for all 4 acts is also nice. So I spent the donuts on them, but I had the donuts to spend. If your donut supply is limited you may want to think on these two, as ultimately it’s just a recycled version of Moe’s Express Bar and smaller version of Barney and Moe.
Of course, in the end, it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn’t do…and as a premium player, I already took deal. But whatever you decide, just make sure you make your final decision before it leaves our games for good (or for now).
Remember, there’s a good chance this may come back in a future Mystery Box. It’s happened a few times now. If you buy it there’s a good chance it’ll come back at a much lower price and you’ll be mad about it, if you don’t buy it and want it there’s always a chance it may not come back. So the gamble is up to you to take…
