2. Where Do Wrinklers Appear?

  • Wrinklers slowly crawl towards the Big Cookie.
  • They attach to the cookie and consume your cookies per second (CPS).
  • Up to 10 Wrinklers can appear at a time (or 12 with the “Elder Spice” upgrade).

3. Benefits of Wrinklers

Even though they reduce your CPS, they are actually beneficial:

Each Wrinkler stores 1.1x the cookies it eats.
Popping them returns all stored cookies + a 10% bonus per Wrinkler.
Maximizing Wrinklers gives a huge boost when popped.

Example Bonus:

  • If 10 Wrinklers eat 1 trillion cookies, they return 11 trillion cookies when popped.

4. How to Pop Wrinklers

  • Click on a Wrinkler to pop it.
  • Best Strategy:
    • Let Wrinklers build up over time to maximize their stored cookies.
    • Pop them during a Frenzy or Click Frenzy for massive cookie bursts.

5. Special Wrinklers

  1. Shiny Wrinkler
    • A rare golden Wrinkler (1% spawn chance).
    • Returns 3.3x the cookies when popped.
    • Always pop it immediately for bonus cookies!

6. Wrinkler Upgrades

  • “Elder Spice”: Increases max Wrinklers from 10 to 12.
  • “Wrinkler Dozen”: Increases Wrinkler spawn rate.
  • “Eye of the Wrinkler”: Increases cookie return rate.

7. When to Pop Wrinklers

🔹 Best Times to Pop:

  • During a Frenzy or Click Frenzy for extra cookies.
  • Before ascending to maximize cookies earned.
  • When a Shiny Wrinkler appears.

Final Verdict: Are Wrinklers Good?

✅ Yes! Even though they lower your CPS temporarily, Wrinklers increase long-term cookie gains. The more you let them grow, the bigger the cookie payout when you pop them.

Now, let the Grandmapocalypse begin and farm those Wrinklers for maximum cookies! 🍪👁️
