It takes a lot to get on Pinkie Pie's bad side, but what the Filly Wonka Candy Company, Incorporated has done is just plain inexcusable. It's time for extreme measures - Pinkie Pie style! Which means that, for Spike, it's time for a great big headache.

A short story based on a prompt from BlazzingInferno. Thanks, dude!

If this doesn't get featured than that proves the members of fimfic have zero taste.

... I WILL get this featured, no matter what it takes. That ending deserves it! :rainbowdetermined2:

I have zero taste- For black licorice!

Cheers to this story.

Downvoted because your premise made no sense. Black licorice is amazing.

4485478 I have zero taste-- for men and women who have less depth than a shotglass!

Oh Spike! :)

Black licorice is indeed terrible

Haven't even read this, yet and I can tell I'm going to like it.

Even Stickybeard and his pirates agree with that.

Okay, I gotta admit, that was out there...but the ending was priceless!

Will we ever get to know how the licorice ended up in the mix?

By the way, licorice is awesome! :rainbowwild:

When I read who Pinkie Pie was writing to, I was guessing it was going to be a complaint that she came to the end of an Everlasting Gobstopper. Now I might have to write that. :pinkiegasp:

So, it's not a magical candy land where children are tortured in ways that make the Middle Ages seem tame?
But...:pinkiesad2: apart from the children being tortured thing, it fits in perfectly!
Well, the Oompa Loompas were originally black, so there is that.

But I like black licorice :fluttercry:

Still thought the story was funny though.

4485491 Don't tell Pinkie, but I like black licorice too...

4485433
4485466 Aw, you guys are gonna make me blush. :twilightblush:

Oh man, this might be hilarious.

Yes, Spike did it like a boss. Fixed it where Pinkie won't ever see another black icky again, and still got out of doing it. XD

We all know that Spike is the power behind the fax machine behind the throne. Using such powers, he could demolish the state in a matter of days. Commanding overproduction of blizzards, sending out general orders to invade non-hostile countries, dissolving parliament... These are just a few of the things Spike has not yet done. But one day he will be legal to drink alcohol, and then the fan will hit the roof. It puts me in mind of this:

4487706 That might be the best comment I've ever read in my life...

"handwriting" He's the only one in town with hands..

Also? Black licorice is the only licorice that actually has licorice in it. Red licorice is completely free of any actual licorice.

Madness... MADNESS!

4488320 Shhhhh, don't let Pinkie hear that fruit licorice isn't really licorice! It'll ruin her pun, and that's a dangerous game to play...

Epilogue: Luna is pissed. Return of Nightmare Moon. Bad End.

What i love about this story the most is the way the characters are written, especially Pinkie, I never stopped getting the feeling that it was Pinkie being Pinkie and i personally enjoy seeing words i'd never heard, like "blanch" or "missive", I don't usually learn new words from stories (I know that might sound arrogant, but i don't read stories a lot) so it was nice to have to look up words. Oh and i hope more people read this, good luck in the future.:twilightsmile:

Best story. Tenouttaten. Would read again.

Literally the greatest lazy story in the entire history of ever.

Spike- gettin' the job done like a baws :moustache:

You know a fan fiction is good when the dialogue stays in character. When I first read Pinkie Pie's dialogue with Andrea Libman's voice, and Spike's with Cathy Weseluck's, I could tell I was in for a treat. And true to your (character's) word(s), you did not disappoint! This was a fantastic piece that I would highly recommend to anyone. Great job! Keep up the good work.

I can't remember the last time I actually had to stop reading just to laugh. This was great :rainbowlaugh:
That story prompt couldn't have landed in better hands :pinkiehappy:

I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for an amazing prompt - I had a ton of fun with it, and I never would've thought of it on my own.

4493913
Thank you so much! My main goal in writing this story was to practice character dialogue, so it's super encouraging to hear that Pinkie and Spike sounded right.

Some of us actually like black licorice....:raritystarry:

I have never heard of any other kind of licorice...another weird 'murrica thing?

Anyways, good short story, perfect size to read on the buss for a good chuckle.

Especially liked how you wrote Spike.

Well played, Spike. Well played...

Some of us have malfunctioning taste buds... :twilightoops:

4495776 Licorice candy, from the root of the licorice plant, was invented as early at the 1600s in Holland.
Upon googling ^

Yeah, it's such a shame that you'll never realize how good black licorice is. Especially as an ice cream topping. I'd almost forgotten about that. Ah, memories...

4495776

Kind of. Apparently the word is sometimes used for candies made with similar shape, texture, and packaging as licorice products, whether or not they are actually licorice flavored. E.g., Twizzlers.

But black liquorice makes me throw up...

My goodness! It's the perfect solution!

For the first time in all of forever, I found a piece of black licorice.

"'Cause for the first time in forever,
For the first time in forever..."

Discrete is not discreet. One means separate, the other means sneakily.

4506313 Fixed! Thanks for the correction.

Black Licorice is the flavor of hate, and evil. If evil and hate could have a flavor Black Licorice would be it. Seriously though Spike is awesome.

SPIIIIIIIKE! YOU SON OF A - ♫AHHHHAHHHH-AAHHHHHHH!!! ... wah wah wahhh...♫

Really, if you can't appreciate the rich bite of licorice, that's no reason to ruin it for everyone else! On the other hand, the Filly Wonka Candy Company probably isn't the only place that makes it.

4513903 HEY DON'T BLAME SPIKE.

Pinkie! You know who has great handwriting? Spike does, because he takes all those notes for Twilight all the time!

Also, he's the only Ponyvillian with hands! That's a big plus for handwriting.

In any case, I am in complete agreement with Pinkie. The frogs would probably be even better if they were made of gummi, but then the pun wouldn't work. Ah well.

Oh, and black licorice is a disgusting confectionary abomination that should not be inflicted on anyone.

Thank you for a Pinktacular story. :pinkiehappy:

4638729 Is black licorice Dutch Licorice? 'Cause if so I wholeheartedly agree. If not, I disagree very strongly.
