Rubbing her hooves together and licking her chops, she tore away the concealing foil to reveal and tiny piece of quiche that occupied only a tiny fraction of the tray. Rainbow Dash stared uncomprehendingly at what sat in front of her. “Where’s the rest of it?” Tired of eating postage stamps disguised as meals? It’s time to switch to Hungry Mare Instant Dinners! Why settle for a sample when you can gorge yourself on delicious veggie patties and hay fries, succulent stuffed peppers, or mouth-watering lasagna in a fraction of the time demanded by other brands? Quick, tasty, mare-sized portions. Hungry Mare! Because filly food isn’t filling food! “Who said that?!” Rainbow Dash demanded as she looked frantically around her dining room.
