Original G1 smells & G1 Retro smells

[Taffeta]

Back in the day, new ponies smelled like fresh Playdoh and clean sheets. Odd but that's how my brain worked, I had Coco Berry, in fact, she was the last pony I bought in a store. She smelled so bad I had to keep her outside for a week and she still smelled.

That one is the worst offender. Of all the ponies Hasbro ever made in G1, her scent is the worst. And it's nuclear. It doesn't even have a half-life. It STAYS.

Coco Berry was the only scented pony in my childhood ponies and she still has a faint smell but smells nothing like ice cream. The advertisement for them states “Ponies that smell like ice cream!” with a little girl smelling her ice cream and her pony. I’m pretty sure my Coco Berry still smells.

This thread reminded me that I need to check my scented Rainbows to see if they’ve discolored. I have Starshine, Windy and Moonstone still MIB. The last time I checked them theyre scents were much fainter then they were when I bought them. Starshine’s is still the strongest.

Coco Berry was my fav. And when I bought her back her scent brought back so many memories... I really like it tho l agree she has a very powerful scent. Strawberry Jam also was mine as kid. She still smells tho I remember that Boysenberry Pie lost hers very fast... And the ones I bought don't have any left.

What are Sundae Best's supposed to smell like? I only know they are "ice cream scented" but I'm thinking they aren't all scented the same? Haven't found any info about their scents anywhere

Are you old enough to remember Clearly Canadian drinks?  The yellow Sundae Best smelled exactly like their blackberry flavored water.  I discovered this because I was drinking a CC and had just found the pony at a flea market.

As a kid I was hoping they smelled like those scratch n sniff stickers but no she smelled like burnt nose hairs.

Would you care to share with the group what burnt nose hairs smell like and the exact circumstances of how you know what they smell like?

Haha,  I'm too Finnish to know what Clearly Canadian is

G1 ponies have a typical smell indeed ! Don't you think, you vintage collectors ?
Sweet plastic scent. A lovely... pony scent !
(But not a proper 'fruit smell - on purpose')

Even now, it happens when you found an old dirty G1 : you wash it carefully and BAM : the smell's back !

You people always say that, but my ponies just smell like plastic. Lol

I'm Australian and I second that, except the Finnish part.

Yes, sure.
But... G1 MLP plastic !
(G2 and G3 just smell like plastic, I agree with that)
