i saw on the news that the purple chia pops turn chias into grpaes so i hurrly buy as many as i can for the cheepest i can find and i watched as they went from 350np to 5000-7000np in a metter of 10 min. but juist now they changed it sow all the people who had just botten a purple chia pop it got changed to Non-magical Grape Chia Pop and now tyhere is a seperate item. i just wasted so much np grr :x :x :x and now the Non-magical Grape Chia Pop ate back down to 750np. stupid tnt

Sorry to hear that, sadly, that's a risk you take using speculation technique to make NP. :(

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose...but it still would have been nicer if they had made the name change before launching the news. o_O

Same thing happened to me. :x Wonders if anyone feeds a chia that normal Grape Chia Pop in the few minutes before TNT could change.

I did too. :P

I doubt they did that to rip you off. Whenever they come out with a chia fruit colour, they have to make the old chia pops that are that flavour non-magical, and create a new magical one of the same flavour (otherwise all the existing pops that flavour would be magical, and the colour would be extremely common). They must have just forgotten to make the new type of pop before they released the news.

Ummm.....Didn't you notice that they were TWO seperate pictures? Besides, they never ever turn old chia pops magical, they just make new ones.

Did the purple chia pops ever work? Or was it some scam someone posted to make money that you read and fell for? TNT didnt stop the purple one from working, they just changed the name to stop innocent people from being confused :) :(

I tried to do the same, and luckily, avery time I tried to buy a new one it was sold out so I was not able to buy one... Hopefully :)

Obviously. Why is their a non-magical blueberry chia pop, and a magical one? They will create an entirely new one just so people dont get rich off of what you have just tried to do. Some people just inflate prices so that newbies will buy them hoping to get a grape chia.

The problem is that TNT did not change the name until a few minutes after the Pop is released.. so at first, when the Grape Chia was released, the "Non-Magical Grape Chia Pop" was called just "Grape Chia Pop", so people got confused :)

Sorry about your loss, but this is really a gloat/cry matter.
