Trivia

 * Shuffle_booster.jpg counting +3 moves, there are total 12 boosters with unlocking levels.
 * Many people frown upon the use of boosters as they believe it is a form of cheating and they aren't completing the level honestly.
 * Shuffle booster is no longer available for unknown reasons. However, it can be used by hitting the back button in Apple and Android without making any moves.
 * Level 236 is the only known level that forbids the use of the Lucky Candy, Color Bomb, and Striped + Wrapped boosters at the same time. The fact that it starts with all mystery candies on the board really does defeat the purpose of boosters.
 * If you click the booster and there are 0 moves left, it will waste the booster since the screen takes over.
 * If you play and unlock boosters on another platform and then connect to Facebook, the boosters will be unlocked the next time you play on Facebook.
