16- Fruits of our Labour.

    You decided to call your website WonkasCandies.com, you thought it fit well with what you were going with.

    After that, you had gotten to selling your new candies. Oh, you hoped the Toothy Fruities did well. It'd be an honest to god shame to see it be outshined by the other sweets, due to it appearing to be a simple fruit.

    Wonka Bar Sales: 425.

    Laffy Taffy Sales:     321.

    Ice Mice Sales:     228.

    Toothy Fruity Sales:     317.

    You'd gotten some incredibly good sales for your candy, even somehow managing to get some people to pre-order the next batch of Wonka Bars the next time you open the store. (Wonka Bars gains a temporary +25 next time you sell candy)

    The Toothy Fruities had sold incredibly well too, which was really good to see. You had worried over nothing, phew.

    And you couldn't forget Ruby and Joe, who had done a simply amazing job. They certainly knew what they were doing, that's for sure.

    You have gained 127 Wealth.

    You have lost 9 Wealth from Joe Bucket's, Fred Morter's, and Ruby Williams' Employment, and 1 Wealth From Advertisements. In Total: 10 Wealth.

    You now have 278 Wealth.

    Holy crap... you had made just... a ludicrous amount of money from that. Like, wow. You're honestly speechless at the amount you'd made. Sure, it's not a lot in comparison to the larger corporations, but for a small shop like yours? It was simply unheard of.

    After that, Fred had come in once again, wanting to show off the newest candy he'd made. He looked ecstatic with what he'd made.

    What Candy do you want Fred Morter to Research? (Choose one)

    [] A Variation of the Wonka Bar.
    -[] Fudgemallow Delight Wonka Bars.
    -[] Chilly Chocolate Creme Wonka Bars.
    -[] Triple Dazzle Caramel Wonka Bars.
    -[] Nutty Crunch Surprise Wonka Bars.
    -[] Write-in (Write-in a custom choice):

    [] Bottle Caps: A small bottle cap candy, nothing truly special about it.

    [] Nerds: Small purple candies that make you more intelligent the more you eat them!

    [] Every Flavor Jelly Beans: These Jelly Beans have every flavor imaginable! Chocolate, Grass, Water, Fire, Snot, and many more! So many more!

    [] Chocolate Birds: A flying chocolate bird, make sure to eat it before it melts!

    [] Chocolate Frogs: Frogs made of chocolate, they even act like real frogs, with the way they hop around!

    [] Rainbow Flavored Candy Canes: Candy canes that taste like a rainbow!

    [] Whispering Chocolates: Chocolates that whisper to you, saying generally positive things about the person eating them.

    [] Never-ending Gum: Gum, that never ends!

    [] Ever-growing Candy Floss: Candy Floss that simply never stops growing.

    [] Bomb-Bombs. Bon Bons that (lightly) explode in your mouth! (Causes no harm to the eater, and that's a Wonka Guarantee!)

    [] Flamin' Mints: Mints, that after being eaten makes you shoot a small burst of fire from your mouth

    [] Jawmaker: The more you chew, the stronger your jaw gets. It's simply amazing!

    [] Blood Pops: A lollipop that tastes like blood.

    [] Acid Pops: An incredibly sour lollipop, you'd advertise that they could burn a hole through your tongue... they couldn't of course. You weren't legally allowed to do that. Which was such a shame.

    [] Butterbeer: A "beer" made out of butterscotch, sugar, and water, it had a very slight alcoholic content, but was deemed safe enough for children to have one.

    [] Firewhisky: Alright, now... this one? This one was for adults only. It was a whiskey that fills a person with a burning sensation, before they burp up a small gout of flame. It was absolutely fascinating.

    [] Jelly grown-ups: Jelly babies that age and taste sweeter the longer you wait, like a fine wine.

    [] Cookie Glow: Cookie Dough that warms itself up, hardening until it's like an actual cookie.

    [] Turkish Fright: A Turkish Delight that screams when you chew on it.

    [] Drinkable Giant Cola bottles: A giant bottle of jelly cola, that's able to be drunk to completion!

    [] Honey Flowers: A candy made from mixing the flower petals of a very specific flower, with honey and chocolate. It looks like a chocolate covered flower petal, and had the texture of one too.

    [] Starmix: Sweets that glow like actual Stars. Make for great nightlights.

    [] Jelly worms: Jellies that wriggle around.

    [] Ghostly Gummies: A gummy that, when taken out of its packaging, will phase through nearly everything. With the sole exception of any human parts, it's a candy and so, must be eaten after all.

    [] Sweet N Sour: Hard Candy with a sweet side like Cherry and a Sour side like Lemon. Various odd combinations.

    [] Temperamental Treats: A candy that changes its flavor depending on your mood! If you're angry? It's spicy. Sad? It's cold. Happy? It's one of the sweetest candies you've ever had! There are so many more flavors, depending on your mood! Try it now!

    [] Green Rock Candy: A glow-in-the-dark hard candy, that grows when fed certain... elements directly, and it's edible! What a great discovery.

    [] Write-in (Write-in a custom choice):

    After Fred had shown you his candy, you had to decide what to do for the rest of the week, you had quite a few ideas.

    Why, you could... do some research of your own, or make more candy, or upgrade the building, or... well, you could do a lot of things, really.

    What do you want to do? (Top 2)

    [] Research more Candies.

    [] Work on making more Wonka Bars, Laffy Taffy, Ice Mice, and Toothie Fruities for people to eat.

    [] Upgrade the Building once again.

    [] Hire yet another Employee to help man the store.

    [] Go on a trip to find some exotic ingredients for your sweets.

    [] See if you can strike some deals with grocery stores to stock your candies on their shelves. (Would not recommend, for now, you might want to wait until you reach at least a Candy Production of 1000.)

    [] Advertise your Store some more.

    [] Buy a Lottery Ticket (Cost - 1 Wealth for each ticket; Condition- no bonus dice, DC of 100, if successful, it gives 100 Wealth)

    [] Improve Knowledge and Imagination (Improve Willy Wonka's Bonus to Research Rolls)

    [] See if you can upgrade the website a bit?

    [] Open up a new store. (Costs: 100 Wealth)

    [] Write-in (Write-in a custom choice):
    ___

    Well, first off. @dbRevned this is absolutely perfect timing then.

    Now, I'm going to go to bed, please use a PLAN FORMAT. Otherwise, I'm just not going to count the vote.

    We still have to manually make candy untill we hire someone to do it for us.

    Another option would be to mechanise candy production (at least partially). I know someone who only just opened a falafel shop this year and is already thinking of fully automating production (it is extremely impractical to produce bulk amounts of food without at least some mechanisation, note the "fully" meaning that production is already automated to some degree).
    Machinery is actually quite cheap (only a few thousand euros) and specialised machinery built to your specification is barely more expensive.
    Please note that the guy I'm talking about is a Palestinian refugee who opened his business using money collected from his friends, mainly my grandfather, who is perpetually broke.

    Within the quest I'm not sure whether that counts in building upgrades or if it would be better to write in.

    Click to shrink...
    Depending on the Time period, this takes place in. Any mechanised Production would be severly limited. and we would still need to hire someone to build/maintain the Machines. and with building we can get better tools for making candy but that just gives a bonus, and still takes us using an action to make the candy. So Ideally we're hiring someone to do that action instead of us, So we can stop personaly having to produce candy every turn.
