I thought she'd be more of a new car scent. :v:

Somehow I feel the need to dredge up the Foul Bachelorette Dash thread.

Oh no, she's strawberry all right. Really intensely strawberry. Like, nauseating, "I am being smoked out of my own bedroom by Rainbow Dash" levels of strawberry. :amazed:

:-/ All right, Rainbow, back in the bag.
:offendash: Oh, come on! I didn't do this! It's not MY fault Rarity keeps her perfume bottles right by the window where anypony can crash into them!
:-/ NOW, Rainbow.

Yeah, they are really strong at first but they fade fast. Wear it with pride. :v:

I'm terribly tempted to get one and hang it in my lab at work to cover up the smells our equipment gives off.

Hey, if it seems like it'd work, go for it.

Also, welcome back! I haven't seen you in a while. :hug:

Thank you :hug: ! I keep lurking around but never seeming to feel like posting. Time to get back to it!

But yeah, I'd really prefer strawberry flying horses over polycarbonate shavings and ground plastic.

I had no idea they made pony air fresheners, but then again I'm not surprised. I saw the pony bubble bath when I was at Walmart in the US, so yeah. :v:

It probably means that Funko made it, though I'd be surprised if that's the case. Air fresheners don't seem like the typical sort of licensed merchandise that they would sell to fandoms like ours.

I can shed no light! I got it from a friend of mine, who in turn got it as a white elephant gift at a Christmas party. She doesn't watch the show, so it's a good thing I'm around to take it off her hands! :twiright:

The manufacturer's name is Loungefly. I actually thought it was Hot Topic packaging at first, but not having been in a Hot Topic in about ten years, I don't know if that's right.

Well, I have seen them at Hot Topic, so it doesn't surprise me that they're elsewhere. Not everything has to be a Hot Topic Exclusive after all.

I don't think there is much that is a Hot Topic exclusive, they just have a ton of FiM stuff anyway.

I dunno. I've seen exclusive artwork, foiled pony cards, and all sorts of other Hot Topic Exclusives where I'm at. It's just never what I've gone there to look for.

And don't get me started on the time I went there and found the regular retail version of a Hot Topic exclusive. That kind of stank, since that was the thing I was hunting for in that exclusive form. Darned exclusive pony cards *mumble mumble gripe gripe*.

I mean, the show was bad enough as it was, doing the same thing Big Bang Theory does. "He likes comics, LOL isn't that funny!", and I thought by now this was done with. I will never understand this. :ohrarity:

Still, my point still stands I believe. Not that it's a major crime against humanity, but isn't the whole "nerd culture is funny" bit getting a tad old?

It's not worth your time. It's just another one of those shows like Big Bang Theory that try to use "geek culture" as the punchline, and from an ad I saw, it's definitely pulling that obnoxious "Adults watching MLP, yeah that's a thing!"

Look! Going from a sketch to selling unlicensed Chrysalis plushes at your local Brony Con is as easy as 1 ... 2 ... 3!
Click the button to start designing! :party:


So maybe there's a few extra steps ...
maybe it's a third rate Kickstarter clone looking to make bank on fees

Let's see what the featured designs are like...

IIRC this is non abrasive gel, which is fine if you don't have any teeth and have only sensitive gums.

Nerdy things are weird and unusual to most anyone who isn't a Millennial or younger, I suppose. I do feel like this sort of mockery is the main reason why fandoms like ours are so toxic to women, since "lol you'll never get a girlfriend" is such a common refrain in that brand of comedy.

They have tooth paste now? I bought the pinkie pie tooth brush set years ago. Glad they finally made something appropriate to go with it.

No wonder why it's reduced to a cheap ad. Those designs are horrible. Well, except the evil cactus. That one actually looks decent.

There is a difference between a company massproducing them and hobbyists making them by hand in low numbers.

Yeah, really. Buying wares from fellow fans is still supporting our fandom, whereas buying from Onlyfactory supports no one except Chinese sweatshops.

So Dana Simpson wrote this on her wall:

The introduction to "Unicorn on a Roll" is delivered...I can finally tell you it was written by the great Lauren Faust!


It's a 2nd book collecting "Heavenly Nostrils" strips, for those who don't keep up with it.

Dana Simpson cited both FiM and "Last Unicorn" to be her biggest inspirations for doing the strip, so that's kinda awesome :allears:
