## Obtaining

### Cooking

The easiest method of obtaining Manana Pound Cakes is by cooking them. The required ingredients are one Manana and one Gheat Flour, and combining these ingredients will give you one Manana Pound Cake.

### Receiving from Others

#### Friends

Citizens who are friends, close friends, dear friends, or family members (excluding babies) may approach you and offer to give Manana Pound Cakes. Accepting their offer gives you one Manana Pound Cake and improves your relationship with whoever made the offer. You can also refuse if you don't want Manana Pound Cakes or don't want to improve your relationship.

#### Parents

If you're a child, you have the option to approach your parents and ask for a Lunchbox. To do this, talk to one of your parents at home and select the "Give me a Lunchbox" option. Your parents will then give you a random lunchbox, and there is a small chance it'll be a Manana Pound Cake. **You must have no other Lunchboxes in your inventory to do this.**

#### Astral Day

Every year on the 20th, the sky becomes dark and children can be seen wandering the kingdom asking adults for candy. This day is known as Astral Day, and it is a source of Manana Pound Cakes. If you're a child, you can approach adults (even strangers) and select the "Candy Please" option. Doing this asks the adult for candy, and there is a chance they'll give a Manana Pound Cake. **You must be a child wearing a mask to do this.**

## Uses

### Eating

One of the primary uses for Manana Pound Cakes is to be eaten. Because they are considered both Lunchbox and Food items, they can be eaten anywhere. Regular food items, on the other hand, can only be eaten at home or at the tavern. Eating a Manana Pound Cakes will boost your strength by 15 points, but will not boost your speed or spirit. Eating at breakfast or at school doubles this effect to 30 points.

### Selling

Manana Pound Cakes can be sold to any shop for 14 bea each. This may seem like an attractive option, but it's not. If you purchased the Gheat Flour and Manana to cook it, this will result in a loss of 6 bea, meaning you'll lose money for each Manana Pound Cake you sell. If someone have you your Manana Pound Cakes, then this is actually a decent option, as you won't lose any money.

### Giving to Others

Much like how citizens can give you Manana Pound Cakes, you have the option to give it to them as well. To do this, hold a Manana Pound Cake in your hands and talk to a friend, close friend, dear friend, Ihm, or family member and select "Give Lunchbox". If they accept, you'll give them one Manana Pound Cake and improve your relationship. If they refuse, you can try again until they accept. Adults, children, and Ihms will have different reactions when accepting your offer:

* Adults will say it looks delicious and save it for later
* Children will celebrate and say it looks yummy
* Ihms will celebrate and consume the Manana Pound Cake on the spot

#### Astral Day

On Astral Day, if you're not a child, children may approach you and ask for candy. If you have any Manana Pound Cakes on you, it may appear as an option to give to them, and selecting it will give the child one Manana Pound Cake.

Additionally, if you want to give a specific child a Manana Pound Cake on this day, you can do that too. To do this, hold Manana Pound Cakes in your hands and talk to any child (even strangers" and select the "Give Candy" option. The child will always accept your offer unless they're full, in which case they'll always decline.
