Treehouse of Horror XXV (Halloween 2014)

Dates: 7 October thru 12 November

Halloween has once again arrived in Springfield! This time around it is an alien-focused event - though really the aliens have always played at least some role in the event... After a pretty hefty sized Update you will begin the event with a dialogue between Chief Wiggum, Lisa Simpson, and the alien known as Kang.

Actually you don't really begin the event rather you set the stage for the event with that dialogue, as the actual and honest beginning of the event cannot get underway until you have built the Building around which the beginning is focused... And that is the Make-a-Thing Workshop.

Building the Workshop will cost you $2,000 and take 8h. If you already have Kang - and if you have played through a previous Treehouse Event you should - they will also have an 8h Task to do too! This can be done at the same time as the build - and if you do not have Kang yet, you will receive them free (FREE!).

New Objects and Items

Each Treehouse Holiday Event always includes a number of new objects, Items, Decorations, and Characters added to the game for the Event. This one is no exception to that rule!

One thing you will notice is that they have re-arranged the in-game store as well which may make finding certain things have a bit of a learning curve. Just saying...

Returning Content

This is one of the most looked for sections for any event, as it contains the objects and Items from previous events that are making a return to the game in the Current Event. This is generally desired because it offers something that you don't often get in life - a second chance to obtain items that are now long gone.

The following game objects have returned for a limited time with this event.*

Returning Content Master List

The table below contains our list of the Items, objects, and structures that are retuning to the game briefly, during this event.

Each of the Items below were originally introduced to the game in a previous event. Returning items tend to be priced as Premium Goods but that is not always the case. If you plan to add these to your game you will need to do so before the end of this event, because the ability to purchase them will be removed at the end of the event.

** These Characters are only unlocked when you DO NOT have them already in your town. If you do already have them both, the Ray Gun / Victorian UFO functions only as Decorations.

Bundled Content Offers

For players who were not playing when the original events for these objects happened, the wizards who make the game have happily bundled together related Content at a reduced price to make it cheaper and easier for you to obtain the objects you want to add from the previous events!

The following bundles were created for this event - note that these are only available for a LIMITED TIME. When the event ends these go away so if you are going to buy them do it before the event ends, right?

  • Ancient Burial Ground + Shuffling Zombie (60D)

  • Bad Dream House + The Raven (100D)

  • Devil Flanders + Heck House (120D)

  • Gypsy Fortune Teller Shop + Maude's Ghost (150D)

  • House of Evil + Talking Krusty Doll (90D)

  • Mausoleum + Senile Zombie (70D)

  • Pet Cemetery + Clawing Zombie (50D)

  • Pet Cemetery + Snarling Zombie (50D)

  • Pet Cemetery + Clawing Zombie + Snarling Zombie (90D)

  • Springfield Cemetery + Crazy Zombie (80D)

  • Victorian UFO + Number 51 (120D)

Note: If you already own an item from a bundle above, that bundle will not appear in your game, even if it would be cheaper to buy it already owning part of it. Sorry mates. Totally not our fault.

Helpful Hint: Event Guide

After the initial primer missions above the game pops up a window that contains a very basic Guide and notice about the event...

Treehouse of Horror XXV Event Guide

1. Fight the invasion by squishing Rigellians in your town. Repel invaders in your friend's towns too.

2. Earn Treat Bags and other cool Prizes. Treat Bags are bursting with Treats as well as a feew Tricks!

3. Then convert your tricks and treats into Prizes.

The event ends on Nov. 12... probably. Get your Prizes while you still have time.

Additional Information

Squishing Invaders and Shooting Down UFOs as well as sending Youngsters off to Trick or Treat can result in the acquisition of Treat Bags as your partial reward. You "open" these Treat Bags to "collect" your rewards by tapping the Laser Icon in the top right corner of the screen.

Each bag can contain a random selection of Crafting Resources - the idea being to collect sufficient resources to upgrade weapons, obtain Prizes, an additional Pumpkin House, and other prizes.

Helpful Hint: Crafts Prizes

While not entirely unexpected thanks to sister game QfS (though we admit that QfS is created by a different dev studio and team there have been some unusual similarities lately), a new Crafting System and Focus has been added to Tapped Out for this event that permits a much more active role for the player in terms of the acquisition of Items and Prizes.

In a nutshell the player dispatches the youngsters from their Springfield to go out Trick or Treating in order to ensure a steady supply of Treat Bags from which Crafts Resources are obtained. It should be noted that there are other and additional sources for these bags and resources, including squishing Alien Invaders and etc.

As the player acquires a reasonable supply of these Treat Bags and opens them using the Top-Right Icon of a Laser the contents are added to their Crafts Bank, and can then be used to create specific objects that are part of both story and collections.

Note: There may be additional objects or Crafts Items added deeper into The Story, please bear that in mind...

Weapon Upgrades Requirements

As you may have noted in the table above we sort of brush over the issue in terms of the Weapon Upgrade. For the record the following details apply to that specific Crafting Effort:

  • Level 1 Weapon - Upgrade Cost is 2 Nails.

  • Level 2 Weapon - Upgrade Cost is 3 Nails.

  • Level 3 Weapon - Upgrade Cost is 4 Nails.

  • Level 4 Weapon - Upgrade Cost is 5 Nails.

  • Level 5 Weapon - Upgrade Cost is 6 Nails.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The Board With a Nail In It

This Mission - or Quest really as it depends on how you look at it - appears to be a natural extension of the Treat Bag System. In fact you will be hard pressed to locate even a handful of Tappers who realize that it is actually a Mission or a Quest at all!

The primary objective is to improve the AOE for the weapon to make it more efficient at killing the small Invader Aliens - and believe it or not it is very effective at that task!

The Upgrade Path - as noted above - consists of the following actions:

  • Level 1 Weapon - Upgrade Cost is 2 Nails.

  • Level 2 Weapon - Upgrade Cost is 3 Nails.

  • Level 3 Weapon - Upgrade Cost is 4 Nails.

  • Level 4 Weapon - Upgrade Cost is 5 Nails.

  • Level 5 Weapon - Upgrade Cost is 6 Nails.

The required resources are found in the Treat Bags - with a more common source being the Gold Treat Bag (but they are also found in the others).

Once you manage to upgrade the anti-Invader-Alien Stick to Level 6, in addition to being able to kill up to 8 Invader Aliens in one swing, you will also receive the following reward: 10 Anal Probes and 10 XP....

This final reward will then remove the quest from the Task Book - but it will NOT remove the ability to utilize the Nail Resource (or collect it) as an upgrade for the weapon. Just saying.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Treat Bag Dissected

Each and every Treat Bag regardless of its type will contain a random amount of random Items - but what we are mostly concerned with here are the Crafts Resources that they may potentially contain...

In terms of Objects, Crafts Resources, and overall rewards, we can look to and expect to find any of the following in a given Treat Bag:

    Ammo Event Resource

    Broken Fence Crafting Resource / Ingredient

    Candy Corn Crafting Resource / Ingredient

    Chocolate Bar Crafting Resource / Ingredient

    Donuts Premium Currency

    Event Currency Event Resource

    Grem-Alien Egg Event Resource

    Gummy Bear Crafting Resource / Ingredient

    Human Test Subject Decoration

    Jack-O-Lantern Crafting Resource / Ingredient

    Nail Event Resource

    Rigellian Shrub Decoration

    Rotten Egg Crafting Resource / Ingredient

    Spooky Wall Decoration

The contents of the Treat Bags listed above are presented by name with the value or cost and the class of the object or item noted.

Obviously some objects will be more rare than others - for example while we should expect to find that the resources that are used for crafting - like Rotten Eggs, Broken Fence Sections, or Gummy Bears - are quite common in comparison to others, objects such as Donuts (which is the Premium Currency in the game) will be quite rare indeed.

Of the rare objects group, Donuts will very likely not be as rare as, say, Human Test Subjects, Jack-o-Lanterns, and Spooky Walls, which will be rarer still because they are direct-to-town objects. The reason for that is simply that these objects have an intrinsic value even if you are getting them free as a prize here.

Guide Image

What to Expect as Common to the Specific Treat Bags?

We don't live in a purely random world in Springfield, so we can anticipate that specific objects are more likely to turn up in specific packages regardless of all things being equal. Just saying, you should look to see the following as a general rule as you play:

Name Typical Resources Cost if Purchased
Bronze Treat Bag Broken Fence and Rotten Egg 3D
Silver Treat Bag Candy Corn and Gummy Bear 4D
Gold Treat Bag Chocolate Bar and Jack-O-Lantern 6D
5 Gold Treat Bag Bundle Chocolate Bar and Jack-O-Lantern 25D

Hugo Simpson Biography

Unknown to Bart, Lisa, and Maggie, at the time of Bart's Birth he was delivered with a conjoined identical twin who the Homer and Marge initially named Hugo II.

After the pair were delivered, Dr. Hibbert successfully operated on the babies, managing to separate them from each other - however the operation was not without consequences... Hugo was dequestered in teh attic of the Simpson Home at 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield, Oregon.

It seems that certain portions of anatomy were missing from the twin - so he was not quite identical in the common sense of the phrase. In particular parts of his brain were missing or had not developed, with the primary effect being a moral incapacity.

An invloved story with plots and sub-plots are part of the canon of the TV Show but this is the first Introduction of the character in the game. Be sure to watch The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horrror XXV episode to learn more! Seriously, you have to watch that. No, really. Look, if you don't watch it, we will know... I won't wanr you again...

Helpful Hint: Personal Prizes

Part of the signature questing for every Special Event is the Personal Prize System. Usually this is associated with the collection of what seems like a generic item or Resource that is part of the event - in the case of the 2014 Halloween Event known as Treehouse of Horror XXV, that is the "Probe" that is acquired by "squishing" the tiny little Alien Invaders.

Now we are not going to speculate as to just what bodily orifice said Probe was engineered to explore - all we are going to say is that collecting Probes is the route towards unlocking the Personal Prizes for this Event and leave it at that...

There are three (3) levels of Personal Prize Collections in the event, the list of which and requirements for the ones you are closest to unlocking being found in the status screen pop-up titled "Treehouse of Horror XXV Prizes" that is obtained by tapping the Prize Icon that has been added to the Icon Set on the bottom right corner of the play screen.

It should be emphasized that there are three (3) unique Prize Sets for the Event, and each of the three are only available for a limited time of 12 days per set. Each set uses a unique in-game event currency or "item" to be collected towards its unique goals. For the first set that item or currency is Probes; for the second set it is Ray Guns; the third set uses Protein Strands.

Ammunition Drops: Another point that should be noted is that randomly the player can (we said CAN) receive Ammo Drops as part of the collections process. This Ammo is only used for shooting down Alien UFOs while visiting a neighbor's Springfield, and as far as we know has no other use.

Requirements for unlocking each of the Personal Prizes have been either discovered in-game through the collection process, or obtained from chat boards, from other Tappers who chose to spend the Donuts to unlock that Content early. Therefore and until we reach each of the stages you must consider the requirements to be a tentative estimate.

The large numbers of resources to be collected and the relatively short time period for each stage indicates that to succeed in this particular event will require a rather aggressive play schedule for most players - that or a willingness and ability to spend large amounts of real-world Money.

The following is the list of Personal Prizes that you can unlock via the squishing of Alien Invaders for this event:

Helpful Hints: Trick or Treating Crew

Now far be it from us to tell you how to play your game, but listen: we may well be on to something really important here... Grab a cup of tea and sit down, we have to share this with you...

The way that this whole thing seems to be working is that the Crafts System is really important to The Story and to obtaining all of the various Items that you can obtain as part of the event.

The thing about that though, is that to craft all of the Items that you CAN craft is going to take a mountain of crafts resources. And unless Daddy Warbucks is your, umm, Daddy... Wow, that came out all wrong... Put this another way, unless you LIKE spending real-world Money for resources you are going to need to play smarter, not harder.

That whole playing smarter trip begins with assembling and USING your Trick or Treating Crew.

In past Halloween Events the only kids that could go Trick or Treating (that had the Task we mean) were Lisa, Bart, Milhouse, Nelson, and Martin ( well, and Marge the Witch since it seems that the Simpson family does not allow their kids to TorT sans escort)...

We are happy to say that this limited list is no longer the case this year - happy because the Trick or Treat Crew you put together is your fast lane to Crafts Resources! This actually breaks down in an unusual way:

You already know that you can obtain the regular (Bronze) Treat Bags from squishing Alien Invaders. But did you know that all of the non-premium Characters do the Task in 8h and will receive either a Bronze, Silver or Gold Treat Bag when done? Well they can!

There is more to it than that though - because premium Characters take 16h to do this Task, and their reward is actually either a Silver or Gold Treat Bag - no Bronze for THEM uh uh!

That is really good news for you Tappers, because it means you actually have pretty good control over your flow of Crafts resources via the Treat Bag collection system!

The following Characters in your game will be able to participate in the Trick or Treat scheme - and make up your Trick or Treat Crew, and we expect you will want to keep them constantly busy at it (well, except for The Characters who are needed for Missions and Quests - so you should review our Guide for that below to be sure you do not tie up a character that is needed for those, right?).

Guide Image

BOLD Entries: Characters in the table above whose listing is in bold-faced type are Premium Characters - that is to say that obtaining them in your game requires that you spend the Donut Premium Currency. The following list is all of the Premium Characters in the Youngster sub-class and their costs to add them to your Trick or Treat Crew (if you can even do that, as some are not always available or were only available during specific events)...

  • James "Jimbo" Jones Sr. (120D)

  • Kearney Zzyzwicz (60D)

  • Shauna Chalmers (90D)

  • Sherri and Terri (150D)

  • Squeeky Voice Teen (30D)

The End Result

With this committed crew of TorTers you can pretty much guarantee a steady supply of resources and a rapid path towards upgrading your Weapon - remember that upgrading your Weapon is a major element of the Treat Bag System!

In Your Neighbor's Town

This bit in the Guide is about what you will be doing while visiting your Neighboring Alternate Reality Springfields, and how you can make that a much more profitable effort. First though, let us admit certain facts - time is the one expense you cannot barter or replace. The time you spend in visits is time that should be well spent.

That being the case, and even though we strongly prefer to play free, and without spending real-world Money, due to the obvious benefits to be had in doubling you returns via the purchase of a simple Premium Item in the game, we are going to break that hard rule this once... Which is why we want to tell you about the following item:

Rigellian Hunting License

What it is is just what it sounds like - a Hunting License - and it costs you 90D. What it does though, well that is sort of the point here.

When you buy the Rigellian Hunting License you are permitted (heh, see that was a license pun) to earn twice the number of collection Items - Probes say -- than you would ordinarily earn and collect.

To be clear, even though the game actually says you will only obtain one probe for each friend action, in reality you will actually obtain TWO. All because you bought this item in the shop.

It is very difficult to overstate the value of this object, and once you think about it, easy to grasp why it fully justifies breaking our no-Money-rule and spending a few bucks on a Premium Item.

That said, let us now discuss the reality of Neighbors, this event, and what to expect...

Guide Image

The Neighbor Game Screen

When you journey to the Metaverse for the first time after the event begins you will notice that there have been some changes. The first one is the Leader Board that you are shown upon arrival - this Leader Board can be called up at any time you desire by tapping its Icon - which is located on the bottom right corner of the Neighbor Main Screen (the Icon with the Medal on it).

Friend Leaderboard

What this displays primarily is the status of you and your mates in points, for the tapping of the Grem-Aliens - both those encountered in your own town, having been placed there and set loose by your mates, and those encountered elsewhere.

The boards displays your Rank and Score as well as the Rank and Score of your mates, and shows you where you stand in that counting.

This display is actually far more of use to you than you might think, because in addition to telling you where you stand in terms of points, it ALSO reveals specifically how many of your mates (or Neighbors if you play with folks you do not actually know) are really playing right now and so participating in the event, and how many are NOT.

That is very useful information for a number of reasons, not the least being it will provide you with a pretty good estimate of what you can expect to gain in terms of points and resources from this side of the game. It also tells you which of your Neighbors you should email to encourage to play.

To give you some perspective here right now I have 101 Neighbors and only 25 are actually playing the event. Those are NOT good numbers.

Who is Playing?

As noted above you can see which of your Neighbors are playing the event by looking at and scrolling through the Leaderboard. You can also get an eyeball view of that by looking at the display at the top screen for Neighbors, as you will notice that they have added a summary of resources under the name and timer at the top of each entry.

Basically this shows you how many Probes, Ray Guns, and Proteins that Neighbor collected so far, and that tells you how active they are and have been in the event. This is good to know since you want to be sure you hit THEIR town first and that you do not inadvertently miss one of the Neighbors who is actually participating in the event.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Guide Image

The Lay of the Land

The first point that needs making is that most of the event benefits only accrue when the Springfield you are about to visit belongs to a Tapper who is actually participating in this event.

Any Neighbor who has a tally count for Probes, Ray Guns, and Proteins under their name and timer on the main screen is participating in the event - so you want to be sure you visit their town at least.

When you arrive in the town of a Neighbor who is actually participating in the event you will notice two things - (1) There are Alien Invaders present on the streets, and (2) there may be Grem-Aliens present on the streets.

The presence of the flying saucer (UFO) is NOT an indication that they are playing the event - those appear in all towns including those of Tappers who have not logged in since the event began. So do not use those as a guideline.

Your Friend Actions

First know this - you can NOT tap the Grem-Aliens that are running loose in your mates town. They are for you mates to squish, and not you. On the other hand you not only CAN tap and squish the Alien Invaders, that is who you SHOULD be focused on. We mention that for a reason and now we will explain...

In towns of mates who are not participating in the event yet you can always tap the three Buildings to use your three Friend Actions in their town - and you should since it gets you FP and all. But when you are in a town where they ARE participating, tapping the Alien Invaders is how you use those three Friend Actions. DO NOT TAP BUILDINGS!

Let me repeat that - you want to focus your Friend Actions on the Alien Invaders and NOT the Buildings. You get the collection Items for tapping the Invaders, NOT the buildings!

If you purchased a Hunting Permit you will get twice the number of Collection Items than otherwise. That is good!

After you tap the third Invader and collect the loot you get the 25XP Thanks for Tapping notice, then you move on to the next town. Simple enough. But if you happen to have some Alien Eggs, BEFORE you move on, you can let some loose and visit some extra points on your mates. Just saying.

Grem-Aliens

As with the previous Treehouse Event each town can only have so many Grem-Aliens set loose in it, and you are only allowed therefore to set so many loose.

Everyone benefits from setting the Grem-Aliens loose - your mate does by squishing them, and you do for their being squished - so use them if you got them, right?

Shooting Down UFOs

Another point you should be made aware of is that UFOs are a separate issue from the normal Friend Actions. That is to say that shooting down a UFO in a mates Springfield does NOT count as one of your three daily actions. You have to have Ammo to shoot them down, and you get a Bonus of x50 Collection Items for doing so, but it has no relation at all to your Friend Actions.

That means if a UFO presents and you have the Ammo you can shoot it down, thus scoring an extra 50 Probes (or Ray Guns, or whatever) and then still collect the regular three (or six if you have the Hunting License) from the town for your Friend Actions.

Conclusions

So with all of that in mind, and knowing already that if you have yet to collect sufficient FP to obtain all of the FP Items anyway, you will want to be visiting Neighbors as part of your regular play. If you are participating in the Halloween Event though, you get the Bonus of also obtaining collection items. It is too bad we cannot obtain loads of Treat Bags this way, but let's not get greedy right?

Cleaning House

While we are on the subject of Neighbors this is an excellent opportunity to bring up the matter of cleaning house... The sad truth of the matter is that even Tappers who woo you with claims that they play daily eight days a week can end up losing interest in the game and disappear.

The problem with that of course is that while the game disappears for them, for you their Springfield is still there, still taking up one of the 99 slots you are limited to for mates. Being realistic here, you can only have 99 Neighbors, and when an event like this one hits, you should realize that you are better off having 99 Neighbors who actually play the game and participate in the event - not 25 Neighbors who play and 74 who have not touched the game in months.

With the event now nearly a week in this is when you know whether that Neighbor is likely to be part of the fun - or they are just taking up space in your Metaverse. So what to do about it?

When you visit your neighbor and you see that there are no Alien Invaders present - and they have all 0s in the Collections Summary below their name, and you find that there are NO Buildings to collect because they have not cleared the flags on their town in a while, it is time to consider clearing them off the Neighborhood. But how to know for sure?

Guide Image

Well there is actually a very simple way to do that! When you find a Neighbor who fits the criteria of absent and no longer playing - that is no event stuff and no Buildings you can tap - pop to the main menu for Neighbors, then tap the Clasped Hands Icon on the bottom right Icon Menu - that takes you to the Mates Menu for your social play.

Now swipe down on the list of mates until you get to their entry in the list, which is alphabetical. Tap the icon for them in the list and you will be shown their play stats - including their last played. If it says that they Last Played: 17 Weeks ago (or more, or less, you decide the threshold) what you have here is a candidate for house cleaning.

On the bottom of that stat pop-up is the Unfriend in Origin button. Tap that and they go away forever.

You have to decide what you consider minimum in terms of absence time - but when you get rid of a player who is not playing the game, you open up a slot for one who IS. And that is best for you, for the player you booted out of your Neighborhood, AND for the one you invite to replace them! So win-win-win!

The Missions & Quests Section

Rejoice Tappers! Somebody really likes us! Seriously, how else can you explain the major awesome and most excellent Clash of Clones Event that we just came off of, only to segue immediately into a major awesome and most excellent Halloween Event? I am telling ya, someone likes us!

No, they LOVE us. They want to DATE us! Yeah... Well my wife is going to have something to say about that...

Missions & Quests

The following Missions & Quests are part of this Holiday Special Event and make up the bulk of its story and its Content. Bear in mind that a major element in this event are The Characters who are part of the TV series. While this is most certainly not a Tie-In Event by classification, the player may find that the personalities as exhibited on the show add a certain flavor to the events in the game.

We are just saying that considering the fact that the Treehouse of Horror episode that more or less dovetails with this event is coming up, it might be an idea to watch it to add to your enjoyment of the event.

Lights, Camera, Distraction!

The secret behind the long-term success of Krusty the Clown has a lot more to it than the fact that only three of his fans know that his real name is Herschel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofsky.

That same three fans are the only ones who have seen himup close and personal and without his makeup (they are, of course, Bart and Lisa Simpson and Grampa Simpson).

No, the primary secret to his success - and what has kept him a relatively wealthy clown is a well-developed sense of self-interest.

His competition is constantly under-estimating him largely due to their inability to see that despite his over-the-top message of self-interest, the Clown is capable of acting and reacting in ways that simply cannot be predicted - especially if he smells blood in the water - or senses an opportunity that everyone else has missed.

It is the latter that has caused him to seek out the Mutant Alien with contracts and a pen as his only weapon AND form of negotiation!

This appears to be the case with respect to the Mutant in that the Clown does not see him as either a threat or an invader - he sees him as a potential gold mine for Saturday morning TV!

Bad Dreams House / Raven

I am not sure what the mechanism is that triggers that - I know that I did all of the active quests for the event, but I have had the house since two Treehouse events ago... And I have not been offered that character either as a direct purchase using Donuts or as part of a quest...

Also, my Bart is trapped romping Springfield with an alien stuck to his face. If I tap him, the alien pops and a new one immediately takes its place. The game then freezes. All I can do with him is tap stampy and make Bart ride him. I've had this issue for over a week now.

The Donut reward for shooting down UFOs in neighbor towns is a random reward mate, and it actually ranges from 10D to 40D but there is really no reliable way to get it. Call it a pleasant surprise?

Martin is not a "fairy princess." He is Calliope, muse of heroic poetry, as seen in Treehouse of Horror I I

I hope that my mistake did not cause you any problems in your game play. I did not actually see the episode until a few days after I posted that.

It is true that Kalliopฤ“ is the muse of epic poetry - she was also lover of the God Ares - and according to the other muses, quite an inspiration Smile

She is usually depicted nude from the waist up, or partially nude in a robe with one breast exposed holding a writing tablet. I have also seen her presented fully-clothed in an ermine robe while carrying a book in her hands and wearing a gold crown.

I have never seen her depicted in a fairy princess costume, and never seen her holding a bouquet of flowers or wearing fairy wings before, I hope you will understand my confusion?

I have seen my daughter wearing a nearly identical Halloween costume as that worn by Martin - Deluxe Fairy Princess Costume with Wings, $19.99 at Walma
