Sideshow You! :)

I've never had donuts either, after a good 2, 3 months. I guess I may have missed a day in there, but I don't know.

Then what the hell, man? How did I go ~300 games without seeing any donuts?

Like I said...

Perhaps there is some user action that resets the count of pops to zero! Would not surprise me if that were so.

I would think that would involve skipping days or storing the booth, though :?

I'd thought about the storing the booth might reset it, but I figured you had not done that (well until recently when you nuked KL!)

But I had not thought about the skipping the day thing. Of course the code can do whatever it wants. It could be that you cannot wait longer than x hours after it's ready to pop or it resets the counter. Or any other thing the programmers thought up.

Storing the booth didn't affect me getting the donuts, I nuked my Krustyland about 2 weeks ago and got the donuts yesterday.

There is a 1/100 chance of that happening before the 299 pop, per Bunny. So you are lucky!

I'm usually lucky :lol:

It's true, I nuked the place. (Sideshow You was pulled out of storage immediately.) And actually, I think my most recent win was after that.
But I played it at least twice a day, from November to March, with no donuts. So I still say the 300 pop thing is baloney, or at least must have been broken for a time. Someone else even started a thread in that time period, wondering if they had removed the donut thing, so it wasn't just me.

Got my first 5 donuts from it

Got another 5 the other day - still keeping with the 2.5 - 3 month span between

Earlier in this thread I predicted July 31 or August 1 as the day I would win donuts from Sideshow You but I managed to get to a few days where I popped 9 balloons which pushed the day to July 29.

Here is my very sloppy and probably inacurate count so far:

21 March, 2014 (wasn't counting)
2 May, 2014 (293 balloons popped) 43 Days
13 June, 2014 (301 balloons popped) 41 Days
29 July, 2014 (305 balloons popped) 46 Days

I have never randomly won donuts at Sideshow You.

I had just finished the KL update and my next balloon pop gave me 100 tickets and 5 donuts. I was wondering if everyone got them on finishing the update as I wasn't expecting them so soon.
