Bakery Story 4th of July Goals

Happy 4th of July ! 
I hope you all have a fantastic day of fireworks, BBQs, parades and family! 

However with this month's goals there has been a large uproar about the use of gems. 
Sadly, you MUST spend a minimum of 42 gems to complete this goal. 
Myself and my neighbor Sweet Treats have asked our neighbors what their thoughts are about this. 

Here are some of the responses



Some of Sweet Treat's neighbors' responses:


I didn't even know that you can gain gems by ads ! I've searched all around Bakery Story (I am an iOS player) and have not found where I can watch ads for free gems. 


After all the controversy, I decided to play the goals as far as I could. 

1. A Baking Competition!
Buy 6 Fireworks Wallpapers
Buy 12 Pie Lattice Floor Tiles
Costs: 
Rewards: $2,600    70XP
Unlocks: Rocket Oven



2. A Round of Chess
Serve 10 Lemon Chess Pies
Buy 1 Patriot Pallet
Costs:
Rewards: $2,700    70XP
Unlocks: Peanut Pie


To build a Rocket Oven:

8 Oven Elements
8 July Coils
8 Oven Lights


Recipes:

Lemon Chess Pie: costs $960 to make/ 1 hour/ 375 servings

Peanut Pie: costs $1,660 to make/ 3 hours/ 675 servings

Banana Pie: costs $2,360 to make/ 6 hours/ 1,025 servings 



3. Get Nutty! (Yeah we all got nutty when we saw that we have to PAY 10 GEMS)
Serve 15 Peanut Pies
Buy 1 Pie Table Display
Costs: 
Rewards: $2,800    75XP
Unlocks: Banana Pie


The Pie Table Display selling for 10 GEMS so instead I skipped for 5 gems. 



4. Banana-Rama
Serve 20 Banana Pies
Buy 3 Rocket Counters
Okay, nothing requires gems here. Let's continue I said to myself. 
Costs:
Rewards: $2,900    75XP
Unlocks:



5. Tasting Table
Buy 4 July Chairs
Buy 4 Banner Tables 
Buy 2 Popcorn Buckets
And here is where it pushed me over. 
4 Banner Tables x 2 gems= 8 gems
Plus 2 Popcorn Buckets x 12 gems= 24
= 32 gems for this step alone !!! No way!!! 




So here is where I stopped. Also because I didn't have enough gems. I don't know what TeamLava was thinking! This is wayyyy too much for even a person who has been playing the games for a long time could even afford and this probably pushed away new users.
