Is this thing on? I can’t tell if it’s on.
Spike! I need you to help me figure out if this thing is on!
.
.
Yes, there's a little red light on at the top!
.
.
What?! The light means that it’s on?! And that it’s recording right now?! Oh son of a….
Hi, everypony! Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship, here, and welcome to the inaugural episode of Twilight Tries, a new vlog I’m doing where I try something new for the first time and share it with you.
Now, you might be wondering why I’m doing this, and the answer is actually really simple; because I think it’ll be fun! My friend Sunset Shimmer said she does something like this where she records herself playing video games and that she really enjoys sharing it with others, so I thought, ‘Hey, why don’t I give it a try?’ I won’t be playing video games though since I’m not much of a gamer, and there already appear to be a lot of ponies who post videos of themselves playing video games, so instead I’ll be trying something new every video and sharing my reaction with you.
One thing I feel I should mention before I begin, don’t expect me to be trying anything lewd or illegal here.
And with that being said, for the very first episode of Twilight Tries, I’ll be trying…coffee!
That’s right, I have never had coffee before. Most ponies think I’m an avid coffee drinker because of all the late nights I’ve spent studying or performing princess duties over the years, but I’m not. Why have I never had coffee before? Honestly, I’m not entirely sure. I guess it’s just because I’ve never felt a need for it or even a desire to try it.
That changed though when I was brainstorming ideas for this first episode with my assistant, Spike, and I noticed him drinking a cup of coffee. Spike’s been a coffee drinker for years. Come to think of it, he’s been a coffee drinker ever since he was old enough to start being my assistant. I wonder if there’s a connection there?
Anyways, when I saw him with his cup of joe I figured that coffee would be the perfect thing to try for my first episode!
So if you look over to my right, your left, you’ll see that I have a measuring cup filled with water, a coffee mug a 30.5 oz. can of Marewell House coffee, courtesy of Spike, and a single cup coffee maker. The can of Marewell House is about half-empty, but that shouldn’t be a problem.
Time to make some coffee! First I’m going to…um…I’m going to…
.
.
.
Spike! How do I use this thing?!
Okay, so Spike said that first I need to do is put the coffee mug right under the dispenser on the machine, duh, and then I need to pour the water into the top of the machine.
There we go. Mug in, water poured.
Now I need to take this little scoop out of the front of the machine and use it to scoop the coffee out of the can. Makes sense.
So as I’m looking at the scoop I’m seeing that there are two max fill lines, which doesn’t make much sense to me.
Spike! Which max fill line do I fill the scoop up to?!
.
.
The top one?! Okay, thanks!
Aaaaand, there. Filled up to the top line.
So now that the scoop is full I’m going to place it back in the machine, like so, and then close it back up.
.
.
.
Spike! What do I do once I put the scoop back in?!
.
.
Choose my brew type by pushing one of the buttons on the side?!
.
.
Yeah, I see them, thanks!
Okay, so now I have to choose what brew type I want, and it looks like I can choose either Regular or Bold. I’m a bit tempted to choose Bold, but since this is my first time having coffee I think it’s best if I go with Regular. So I’m just going to push the Regular button here.
Oh, a little light came on when I pressed it. I guess that means it’s working.
.
.
.
Nothing’s happening.
Spike! Nothing’s happening!
.
.
It’s takes a little while to start?! How long…oh, wait, never mind, it’s starting!
So as you can see, the coffee is starting to pour out of the machine and into my mug.
Although, it appears that it’s just kind of dripping out instead of pouring out.
Spike! The coffee is only dripping out!
.
.
What?! It’s supposed to do that because it’s a drip style maker?! Okay, got it!
The dripping is normal.
.
.
.
.
.
This is taking longer than I thought it would.
.
.
.
.
.
While we wait, how about we take a closer look at the type of coffee I’ll be drinking? Let me just get the can here.
Let’s see, ‘Marewell House Original Roast Ground Coffee, Medium Roast’. I have no idea what ‘Original Roast’ or ‘Medium Roast’ means.
Spike! What does…oh, never mind, coffee’s about done!
Aaaaand, done. My mug is full. Now I’ll just take it out…whew, that is a strong smell…and go ahead a take my very first sip of coffee.
Cheers!
*Slurp*
*Ptoo*
OH SWEET CELESTIA IS THAT BITTER! UGH, THAT’S THE MOST BITTER THING I’VE EVER TASTED!
SPIKE! HOW DO YOU DRINK THIS STUFF EVERYDAY?!
.
.
ACQUIRED TASTE?! HOW IN EQUESTRIA COULD ANY CREATURE GET ACQUIRED TO THIS?! IT’S LIKE DRINKING DIRT!
.
.
NEVER MIND, JUST BRING ME SOME WATER OR SOMETHING TO GET THE TASTE OUT OF MY MOUTH!
.
.
I CAN HEAR YOU LAUGHING, SPIKE! THIS ISN’T FUNNY, MY TASTEBUDS FEEL LIKE THEY’RE DYING! UGH, UGH!
So, yeah…coffee. I don’t think I like it. No offense to all you coffee drinkers out there, but I don’t see the appeal of drinking something so absinthian.
.
.
Well excuuuse me for liking my drinks to be on the sweeter side, Spike!
Anyways, thank you so much for watching, and I hope to see you again soon on Twilight Tries!
Ahahahaha!! That was great!
SPIKE! HOW DO YOU LIKE AND FAVOR!? OKAY, THNAKS!
Nice! What about her trying to play buckball or trying to give a massage?
Exotic fruit. Not sure what is considered exotic in equestria though. Maybe something like dragon fruit.
Twilight tries gardening, not sure if she's ever done gardening though.
10034186 10034204 10034208
Wow, so many great suggestions already!
Let her eat a chili! XD
10034211
erm vodka? erm shes legal age right?
Oh so many ideas!
Have her try: Eat a chili pepper or drink hot sauce, drink iced coffee, do ziplining, perform a magic show, bake a cake, paint a picture, lifting weights, driving a cart, do rock climbing, play an instrument, playing a slinky and solving the rubik's cube.
Hope that's not too much.
Watch try not to laugh challenge?
Twilight tries gambling
'Twilight tries a blind date' or 'Twilight tries fencing'.
I get that Twilight doesn't have a plan because comedy. But seriously. This is a pony who would absolutely want a manual.
Twilight tries the prison challenge
10034233
I mean, she IS a Princess. She can decide what the "Legal Age" is.
Make her do the Ghost Pepper challenge 😈
Purple Smart is my spirit animal.
10034204
Nothing more exotic then raw zap apples.
10034186
Preferably with the spa twins.
For me: Twilight tries to play an instrument.
Twilight and special guest Pinkie Pie try different sour candies like warheads, crybabies, toxic waste, etc...
Check out Collins Key’s sourest candy videos for some ideas. Warning, they’re pretty hilarious and a bit gross at times.
A new story from Peni Parker? Yes please!
Twilight tries wingless skydiving or bungee jumping
This is why you add cream and sugar, or take the more unique route and simply add sweetened condensed milk to taste.
Yeah, just your típical sugar/sweet drinkers, I abandoned sugar entirely a decade ago, best decision ever :D, now I can really sabore the real flavor of teas, herbs, juices, and best if all COFFEE, I like it black and strong, wonderful stuff, of course, to get there you need to practice, suffer it up, but when it's done, a new flavor is discovered.
Now for ideas, Twilight Tries to prank Ponies in the street, Twilight Tries reacting to horror movies, Twilight Tries to imitate pinky in the streets., and a lot etc. XD.
How about she tries tacos next time?
10034204
Knowing Equestria, the dragonfruit there probably objects to being eating by breathing fire.
I agree with Twi on her views of the subject.
Rather a nice cup of tea with just a dash of milk.
Are usually mix some hot chocolate into my coffee to make a mocha

Twilight tries🤔... Exploding Kittens with the her friends 😁
But wouldn't that make Fluttershy cry?
🤗 Not that kind of exploding kittens... I'm talking about the card game.
Ooooooh, that Exploding Kittens, I have one of hidden away for Exploding Kittens Emergencies! *Pulls a box labeled "Exploding Kittens " out of her mane*
Wait... how did a copy of that get here, it shouldn't even be existing in this w... You know what? I shouldn't even question it
WELCOME TO JACKASS!!!!

LOL!
Shigger ruins everything
And of course her first cuppa Joe is blacker than Nightmare Moon.
Poor thing. She's just not cut out for such a powerful introduction to Our Goddess Caffiena.
I suggest she try absinthe. But she has to commit to it enough to actually experience the affects.
Twilight's mistake was not adding creamer or sugar to the coffee
And that's why I add a lot of cream and sugar on the rare occasions I don't drink coffee in frappe form.
Thats because you gotta have creamer!
