Title: Munchy the meat eater?
Post by: Skelletonimp on July 05, 2013, 04:14:03 AM: Why is everyone freaked out by the idea of her having hotdogs and such as her symbol?
Yes I know, because it creates the idea of ponies eating meat.
But has no one read her backcard story?
She creates those things out of baseballs and baseball bets...

"After the last baseball game of the season, Munchy called the ponies together to give them a special surprise. "Follow me!" she cried, leading them to a pile of baseball bats and baseballs. When she wiggled her nose, the bats burst into hot dogs, and the balls turned into bags of french fries! "This is better than a home run!" Slugger cheered, biting into his third hot dog!" http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Munchy

Post by: hathorcat on July 05, 2013, 04:26:11 AM: Never bothers me either way - a symbol is a symbol - just because she is decorated with burgers and hot dogs doesnt mean she eats them after all.

Post by: Heartcease on July 05, 2013, 04:44:46 AM: They're veggie hot dogs :P I'm more freaked out by Donald Duck eating chicken and turkey. And that he wears no pants.

Lol. That backcard is great.

This ^

But yeah, I've never really thought about it in a "omg" kinda way.
Title: Re: Munchy the meat eater?
Post by: Teddy on July 05, 2013, 05:42:37 AM: Yeah, I never really thought about it either.

I found my Munchy at a fleamarket many years ago when I first started collecting. I had no idea who she was and thought she was kind of ugly with all those random food symbols all over her. I called her "French Fry" until I found out who she was online awhile later. lol!

Woah!! :shocked: Is that on her backcard story, or was it part of the cartoons...? *googles*

Hehe, I think that is her backcard story :lol: I love it (although I agree - it is a little scary!) It's really fun reading some of the older backcard stories though, some of the ponies do some quite jawdropping things to each other - like Moondancer do to poor Twilight. I think it is funny though :blush: It says a lot about children's stories of the beginning of the 80's. Not so many were scared that we(the children) would freak out about stuff like this at all! The good ol' days! :freak:

EDIT: oh, and of course - I never thought anything about Munchy's symbols either. But I rarely think about stuff like this :lookround: And even though it was meat - hotdogs and hamburgers were huuuuuge when Munchy were released. It was the glory time for McDOnalds, PizzaHut etc.etc. I'm not really surprised that ponies of that age ate hotdogs and hamburgers :lol:

Post by: MLPWhitney on July 05, 2013, 06:15:13 AM: Munchy is one of my very favorite ponies. That backcard is awesome! :P
Title: Re: Munchy the meat eater?
Post by: bladed on July 05, 2013, 06:51:20 AM: Isn't it Cotton Candy she put in hibernation? Or am I being silly and not remembering? I think Twilight told her to take her out, and Moondancer made a joke about it?
Title: Re: Munchy the meat eater?
Post by: Eaglefeather on July 05, 2013, 06:52:11 AM: I don't think it would be weird if Munchy ate hotdogs. They are usually made of pig's meat, after all. It might be a little funny, but anyway. That backcard story made me laugh! It's cute!
Title: Re: Munchy the meat eater?
Post by: tulagirl on July 05, 2013, 06:58:14 AM: Doesn't bother me one bit. I love love her symbols!
Title: Re: Munchy the meat eater?
Post by: Lightning Twirl on July 05, 2013, 07:32:07 AM: Veggie hot dogs! Because ponies shouldnt eat other animals! x'D
Title: Re: Munchy the meat eater?
Post by: Skelletonimp on July 05, 2013, 07:35:30 AM: Hmm I can't find the topic about it. To bad, I thought it was really funny
Title: Re: Munchy the meat eater?
Post by: josiekat on July 05, 2013, 07:46:06 AM: I love her MORE because she eats meat! lol
Title: Re: Munchy the meat eater?
Post by: teacher316 on July 05, 2013, 07:47:08 AM: Love Munchy! She's one of my favorites, her and Yum Yum. Food-related symbols are the best!
Title: Re: Munchy the meat eater?
Post by: Wardah on July 05, 2013, 07:59:00 AM: Since they used baseballs and baseball bats I'm gonna say they are made of magic, not meat. (tho hot dogs can also be made of beef or chicken)
Title: Re: Munchy the meat eater?
Post by: NovelNerd on July 05, 2013, 08:01:32 AM: Never thought about it, but I'm now having weird morbid pony eating visions I cannot unsee. :yikes:
Title: Re: Munchy the meat eater?
Post by: SkyCakes on July 05, 2013, 08:27:13 AM: I never had a problem with Munchy's symbols. That is what makes her unique. If shes eating veggie or animal hot dogs it does not matter really.
Title: Re: Munchy the meat eater?
Post by: Leegeta on July 05, 2013, 08:48:47 AM: You know what i noticed? it says "He", so munchy is a boy!
Title: Re: Munchy the meat eater?
Post by: LadySiha on July 05, 2013, 08:51:34 AM: I think Munchy is super cute! I like her color combo and symbols! I have a friend who freaked out when she found out a pony with hot dogs existed, and was thinking about hunting one down, until I showed her that she could be a bit pricey...

You're right. Moondancer did put Cotton Candy into hibernation, not Twilight. I just checked My Little Wiki.

I think the "he" is referring to Slugger.

I've always been in the "soy-based vegetarian product" boat, but I like the magic idea too. It would make more sense in-universe.

They're veggie hot dogs :P I'm more freaked out by Donald Duck eating chicken and turkey. And that he wears no pants.

I'm more freaked out that Goofy and Pluto are dogs in the same universe but Goofy is like a normal human and Pluto is like a normal dog. Fr-eak-y!
Title: Re: Munchy the meat eater?
Post by: Kiwi on July 05, 2013, 12:22:33 PM: She always makes me think of our local ice cream stand... the overhead sign originally used to have a hotdog.... and overtime it was morphed into a banana split, lol (so they didn't have to get a whole new sign)

Yes! Good point! Though we're arguing cartoon logic ;)

Post by: scarletjul on July 05, 2013, 03:24:34 PM: I've never really thought of Muchy eating them but if she does, I think vegetarian hot dogs and hamburgers are good. I'm not freaked out either way though. :)

Yeah, I think you're right; it was Cotton Candy.

Edit: Oh never mind; someone else already answered this.
