Wonder what more longhaul has hauled a long way in his long, hauling life
Oh, you'd be amazed. Like the time I almost got my shipment of fresh lettuce hijacked by a pack of ravenous rabbits. But that's a tale for another time.
So, what will these two encounter now hmm...?
Maybe a few adolescent dragons?
Maybe an angry pheonix?
Bandits?
A remnant of dark magic long past?
We shall see...

I read a book about how refrigerated train cars ruined the lettuce industry.
For a time, lettuce became a food for the exceptionally wealthy. The price was really jacked up in certain locations, because of the difficulty of getting it. Folks tried all kinds of way to get fresh lettuce where they lived. Usually, it was packed in sawdust and ice and when it got to its destination, you'd peel away the horrid outer layer of the lettuce that was covered in filthy sawdust and dirt, and then you would eat the tender hearts inside of the head of lettuce.
Refrigerated train cars meant that lettuce could be grown in abundance and shipped out of California, where a lot of it was grown. It dropped the prices down and caused a massive market crash on the price of lettuce, which became quite cheap. A lot of people lost their livelihoods and their fortunes because of refrigerated train cars and lettuce.
Food history is weird.
Just now got around to reading this and find only one real problem for me. The basic premise is that our protagonist has magic that screws with other ponies' powers when he flares...but he's only flaring because no one's ever taught him to do anything other than hold his magic in until he finally flares.
Ok, fair enough. But...the story starts with Twilight banishing him into the Everfree after a particularly bad flare. Twlight focking Sparkle, Princess of FRIENDSHIP, Miss 'I once turned my parents into plants during a MAGIC FLARE and thus should have experience with them' ...and her FIRST solution is to kick a SIXTEEN YEAR OLD out into one of the deadliest places in Equestria instead of, y'know, tring to do something to actually HELP him, like say teaching him to actually control his powers in way better than hold it in til he bursts!?
Yeah...while I could see pre-Zecora Ponyville doing something like this, making post-acension Twilight the one to do it just smacks of an idiot ball plot. I almost hope this ends with him going full warlock due to all the crap he's already and will go through, and returning to Ponyville to turning her into a kumquat in revenge.

Um, did you ever pause to consider that the poison joke magic might be affecting Twilight's personality and altering her behaviour in some manner?

Most definitely. Of course, that could also be attributed to large corporate farms squeezing out the family farmers. I've hauled lots of produce when I worked for a refrigerated trucking company, mostly from southern California, southern Arizona, and Mexico (they brought the trailers across and I picked them up at a brokerage agency on the US side). I've seen some of those corporate farms, and they're huge, able to produce produce (sorry) at an incredible pace.
I also found out the hard way that it really hurts when your load shifts without warning, and when you open the trailer door you get bonked in the head with a crate of broccoli.
Well, Tarnished has found a friend. We'll see how long that state of affairs lasts.
You know, all of this pain and loss is making our hero seem like a warlock waiting to happen. I'm honestly worried about him.

Read the rules, found in the link.

Ah, true. There's is a ground limit below which Tarnished's situation cannot sink. Still, that would probably be a very cold comfort to him if he knew.

Ah, the times when bananas and pineapples weren't eaten, but put on display. Probably until they were so rotten could bear their smell anymore. Probably a little bit longer.
Heard a story that the first Europeans to be exposed to bananas found them disgusting because they didn't figure out that they had to peel them. I don't know if that's true. I mean, even the monkeys figured that one out...
Pop quiz: Who knows how the teabag came to be?
6021254
Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't they initially meant to be storage pouches for loose-leaf samples, but people just brewed it without removing the bag?
6094661
Correct!
hehehehe, another well done chapter dude, awesome job on this!
I wonder what else our little buddy will get himself into?
I looked at the chapters ahead of this one and saw a lot of references to rocks, you're shipping him with Maud aren't you.
6574448 Nope he's been shipped with Tom.
“See, that’s why I am never getting married.” Tarnish shook his head with a vigorous motion.
“You say that now, but just you wait until you meet the right pony.”
First point where my knowledge of future Tarnish is having an impact. I have a big shit eating grin on my face right now. Just you wait Tarnish, Longhaul is exactly right.
Hah! Foreshadowing.
