Pinkie Pie. Culinary extraordinaire of Ponyville whose stock-in-trade is confectionaries of all shapes, sizes, and tastes. It was quite rare to see her eating any sort of healthy food...if "quite rare" meant "absolutely never".
Sugarcube Corner ends up destroyed after Pinkie goes on another one of her crazy sugar binges. As Mr. Cake and Mrs. Cake work diligently to repair it, the rest of the Mane Six decide to adopt a new goal: get Pinkie to eat more healthy foods. But one thing's for sure: it's gonna be a heck of a tough task, and Pinkie's friends might find themselves far over their heads...
Inspired by the episode "The Spice of Life" from The Book of Pooh.

This is a fun little story that balances Pinkie Pie's absurd cartoony humor with her inner insecurities very well. It feels like what an episode of the show would be like, if it were to tackle the topic of eating healthy food.
This one really does feel like a Season 1 or 2 episode story.

For what it's worth, the famous list of unreleased episodes actually does include one where Pinkie Pie gives up sugar. Except that one turns into one of those "character becomes a completely different person, their friends initially see it as a positive change but then realize that they've abandoned what makes them who they are, everything goes back to normal" plots.

Is anyone else curious about the mirror or is it just me?
They made an awful lot of fuss for it not to have come up in conversation later in the story.
