No known limit[edit]

It is likely that these options have no cap and can raise Taste of Lacre arbitrarily high.

If a user reports raising their Taste of Lacre to a given level, this can put a lower bound on the hypothetical limit for that action. For example, at least one user has used Take this eery air to raise their Taste of Lacre from 17 to 18; we can infer that, if there were a limit on how high Take this eery air can raise ToL, then that limit would have to be at least 18. In many cases, this information still needs to be filled in, or the bounds improved.

• Mr Sacks:
  • Day 2: Mr Sacks! Take my good name! (at least up to 14)
  • Day 2: Mr Sacks! Take this eery air! (at least up to 18)
  • Day 2: Mr Sacks! Would you care for a little of the '68? 2

  • Day 11: The door of its crimson carriage swings open
