So… is that why I’m not getting the Halloween cookies anymore? I’m stuck at 2 this go around. If I but restart, I’ll suddenly be awash with Christmas cookies and wrinkling reindeer? None of this is meant to imply that Cookie Clicker has been running in the background this whole time. I’m not like that. ---

The Halloween cookies are still there for the taking, should you not have already gotten them. ---

With 94 quintillion cookies the game is my oyster. Sure enough, it took me exactly 90 seconds to get everything fully upgraded. Then I saw Prancer going across the screen. No, I need to go now before this thing sucks me back in. ---

You know, I can’t really tell, because my cookie production is in scientific notation at this point, but it seems to me that the upgrades are not increasing the numbers. I mean, there were several 15% to 20% upgrades there, but I’m still at 3.xxxxxxxxx +44. Surely we should have added a zero at this point? ---

> [@Munch](#): > > The Halloween cookies are still there for the taking, should you not have already gotten them. You’re right, I just got my 3rd spooky cookie… after popping 209 wrinklers. It does seem quite statistically unlikely. Never have so many been popped for so few… ---

> [@Try2B\_Comprehensive](#): > > You’re right, I just got my 3rd spooky cookie… after popping 209 wrinklers. It does seem quite statistically unlikely. Never have so many been popped for so few… I think the odds for getting Halloween cookies has dramatically increased with this new update. With my latest reset, I got them all ridiculously fast. ---

I mean, there were several 15% to 20% upgrades there, but I’m still at 3.xxxxxxxxx +44. Surely we should have added a zero at this point? They are additive, not compounded. So at the higher end with all the milk and prestige bonuses you’ll go from 10,000% or something to 10,020%. ---

Just discovered if you pop a reindeer during an elder frenzy it apparently stacks because I just got about 246 Qa for it. ---

Yeah, I just discovered the reindeer-elder frenzy combo, too. And the base chance for the Halloween cookies hasn’t changed, but they become a lot more likely (10 times?) if you already have the achievement for getting all of them. Same with the Christmas cookies. What’s next, Valentine’s? ---

Stacking a production frenzy and click frenzy (with autoclick running) is really sweet too. ---

does anyone have speed baking 3? I got 1 and 2 but it seems like getting 3 is entirely dependent on you having a frenzy golden for your first golden cookie. That and clicking like crazy. ---

I’m currently at 22,823,664,650,004,734,777 alltime cookies. 6389 heavenly cookies 11,000 golden cookie clicks 2,262,756,258,973.1 cookies per second. ---

I am up to 1000 AMCs. It averages 3-4 days before I can afford to buy another one. It’s time to pull the plug, it really is. . . Leaves it running and goes to bed. ---
