Great... now I'm hungry.

Plot: As thick, or as watery as chicken noodle soup. While mostly predictable, I still enjoyed what was there. Grade: 8.5/10

Grammar: Hardly an error in sight. I appreciate that, greatly. Grade: 9.5/10

Prose: Dialog was written sharp and to the point. With a limited scope, I can appreciate the lack of fluffy descriptions, more to enjoy the speed and punch lines of the story. Grade: 9.5/10

Characters: I mean, yeah, I could totally see our favorite ponies getting into an overblown argument about something completely inconsequential. I've no complaints here. Grade: 10/10

X Factor: I shall give an extra half point here, simply for the image of Rarity tossed in the party cave for excessive 'neutrality'.

To sum up: A silly story with a silly premise featuring silly ponies making silly arguments. Would snuzzle again. Total grade: 9.25/10

Where are the examples?

Is this a review on literal soup?

Oh hey! Glad you liked it so much! I was very happy with how this one turned out, and with how vigorous the debates became once this critical point of contention was finally brought to light.

But yeah, like 7543628 said, were there any specific examples of stuff you liked or didn’t like?

I didn't have a whole bunch of specific examples worth mentioning after a first reading, as the story was quite short and I was satisfied simply enjoying it; but since you've asked, I'll oblige.

The complete disregard for Twilight's library rules with Trixie's peanut-cracker card tower was rather amusing and perfectly in character for the silly showpony, though I would have enjoyed seeing Twilight roast her alive for it.

Asking Starlight if she's got a giant memory modification spell and the answer not being an immediate no makes me wonder what the backstory is for that. I want that story next.

As for things I didn't like?

The only thing that came to mind was Applejacks accent being a little too thick for me personally. I mean, it still worked phonetically, it just made my eye twitch a little while reading.

The only other issue stems from it being a short one shot. I would have loved it to go on a bit longer.

Sorry for not being more explicit in my review. I will endeavor to include more details in future ones. Have a great day
