    Friendship is Card Games: Mane Event

    So, as I have come to understand, the main G5 IDW line has been replaced by/subsumed into a series of mini-series and one-shots that feels like the equivalent of a network trying to kill a show by bouncing it around the schedule. Hopefully I’m being paranoid there.

    Rumor Gathering

    While diminished from its peak, the Writeoff is still very much an ongoing concern. Regrettably, while I actually had an idea for the most recent prompt, my Saturdays are packed to the gills and thus I didn't have time to compose it before the submission deadline. As such, I have employed Dueling

    Friendship is Card Games: Wondercolts Forever: The Diary of Celestia and Luna

    The next entry on the schedule was issues #21 and 22 of the G5 mainline, but those have failed to manifest, making me wonder if that line’s actually been ended in favor of the various mini-series currently in progress. And among them, I only have one released issue unaccounted for. As such, it’s time to turn to the next pony novel… which does not contain ponies.

    Incident of Examination

    There's a Crystal Prep-themed Sunset shipping contest on at the moment, and one castoff idea I had got me wondering about Sunset attending CPA... and running against a logical issue. At least I got

    Friendship is Card Games: Tell Your Tale, Season 2, Part 2

    Looks like that Leap Day hypothesis carried some weight. The long-form episodes should be interesting in their own right, but we’re not looking at one this week. Let’s see what there is to see.

Starbucks says that this is the Unicorn Frappucino. The largest size contains seventy-nine grams of sugar, about as much as a pint of Ben & Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk.

Starbucks can claim what it wants in terms of ingredients. My money's on actual pony blood. Specifically party pony blood.

Oh hell they've read Cupcakes.

Frankly, looks like Klingon blood as seen in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country to me.

I’m told they’re actually very sweet once you get to know them.

The amount of sugar in soft drinks, coffee drinks like this, and so on is ridiculous.

79 grams of sugar sounds like suicide personally.

All right mares, time to join up with y'local branch o' the Cupcakes Liberation Front! Look at what they done to our unicorn sisters! Ye can hardly say that y'might not be next!

:rainbowwild:

I wouldn't say Party Pony blood, but I will be on the lookout for exsanguinated unicorpses. That Drink looks like something straight out of Cupcakes. :twilightoops:

This is what I think of when I hear about excessive amounts of sugar.

4501735 thank you

My stomach just imploded imagining that

That's just a regular drink.

With added unicorn farts. (that sparkle)

I think my pancreas exploded just from looking at it.

Oh, it's party poni fluid alright, but it isn't blood. :pinkiehappy:

All I can think about is how much surcharge Philadelphia will be putting on this:raritywink:

No, that was obviously Rainbow Dash at some point.

You should sue them for fobbing off pegasus remains as unicorn.

4501750 Apparently soda-pop grocery-store coupons now have small-print exclusions to the effect of "not valid in the City of Philadelphia".

And people, seriously. Pinkie Pie bled out for your coffee sins. Earn this.

I might try one. and it looks like I only have a few days left to do so.

And here I thought the old practice of smoking mummy remains was at the top of the "worst ways to defile the dead" list.

I feel like you should write a story about this. But instead of being made of corpses, it's the mad creation of a unicorn named Sugar High, and the mane six have to stop her from starting a diabetes epidemic. Or something.

Aw, geez, I might get a sugar rush just looking at it. :twilightoops:

*examines drink*
"What do you think?"
*Turns to Rainbow and Pinkie*
"Guys?"
*sounds of crickets*

If I snort that pink stuff, would I gain Pinkie's powers?

4502028 You end up getting possessed by Miss Pie's ghost, then cause a paradox every time you giggle. Nice work breaking reality.

4501739
You are such a naughty mare :raritywink:

:pinkiegasp:

The Sugapocalypse is upon us!

"Soylent Frappucino is ponies!"

One squishy....that is all syrup.

My money's on actual pony blood. Specifically party pony blood.

I wouldn't say Party Pony blood, but I will be on the lookout for exsanguinated unicorpses.

Unless Equestrians have copper-based bodily fluids (like horseshoe crabs), I am not sure they will bleed blue.

Now pony coat dandruff on the other hand...

If you're a devout Celestian, does this count as communion?

That depends on your physiology. Probably it's invalid if it disrupts the natural harmony of your body too much in the process. Assuming human biology… uh… :twilightoops: :rainbowhuh: :pinkiegasp:

… I think there will be ways that garner more approval than that. :twilightsheepish:

Make a Magic The Gathering card out of this!!! :trollestia:

i eat sugar by the handful to avoid paying for candy for my sweet tooth.
How many handfuls of sugar is 100 grams of sugar?

And apparently there's so much sugar to counteract how much sour syrup and sour sprinkles they've put in it. Really, it's disgusting :pinkiesick:. Like, I can just go make myself an ice-cream sundae if I want that much sugar, you know? Or go reaaallly simple for combining coffee and sweets: one of those espresso-over-ice-cream thingies.

It actually "only" has 76 grams of sugar (the 79g figure is total carbs, and no, I'm not sure what the other 3 grams are). But...you could have seven and a half original glazed krispy kreme donuts and end up eating less sugar than a large unicorn monstrosity, just to put that in perspective.

4503116 The drink contains 76 g of sugar, which (assuming regular granulated sugar measured in the usual way) is 6 Tbsp or three eighths of a cup. 100g is 8 Tbsp or half a cup.

4503120 I like WaPo's description: it tastes like "sour birthday cake and shame". That said, I don't think that it's accurate to say that there's so much sugar to counteract the sour stuff, because some other flavors pack even more sugar. A large caramel abomination packs 84g of sugar, while a large caffe vanilla packs 88g (the vanilla bean one "only" has 73g of sugar in a large).

Jeez. I like to be able to taste at least little coffee with my syrup.

Actually, if I want to drink syrup, I'd rather drink root beer. And I don't think even root beer has that much sugar per serving.

4503635
Sugar-wise, it's not that far off of most sodas. As far as root beer goes: 71g in a 20 oz bottle of Mug or A&W, 74g for Barqs, and about 67g for IBC (40g in a 12-oz bottle). But a large here is actually a 24 oz cup, and 24 oz of any of those root beers would surpass the unicorn monstrosity (in sugar, not calories).

This is obviously what Pinky Pie drinks each morning just to keep up with her schedule of parties, and baking, and parties, and saving Equestria, and parties, and pulling pranks with Rainbow Dash, and parties.

Yikes.

Luckily or unluckily for me, I'm lactose intolerant at this point (I refuse to think it's forever), and whipped cream would result in days of sickness, so I'll never know. Besides, if you drink it, it will save you from the brink of death, but you will have a half-life, a cursed life. Do you really want to risk it?

As usual, I refuse to acknowledge The One About Baked Goods and Meteorological Manufactury.

:rainbowlaugh: Completely blindsided me with that Potter reference. Masterfully done.

In any case, customers appear to have drunk the unicorn into extinction; it's just about sold out nationwide.

4501730 Ridiculously delicious!
