Title: Least favourite Sundae Best pony?
Post by: promqueen on August 11, 2020, 10:14:19 PM

As much as I dislike the neon yellowy-green hair on pink that Crunchberry has going on I chose Crunchberry because it's one of my very least favourite poses. I often find she has head and body mismatch as well as faded pink hair of course too which doesn't help the cause. Overall I really didn't want to complete this set because of how much I despise the Powder pose!

My least favourite is actually my first one. My sherbert has faded eyes/marks and a blue spot. I like her still, compared to the others she fades into the background though.

Cherry Berry & Sorbet Surprise should have their names swapped. I look at Cherry Berry & she doesn't make me think of cherries at all. Her colours are more sorbet-related. While Sorbet Surprise has more cherry-like colours than sorbet ones.

Anyway, I picked Cherry Berry because her colours not only don't go with her name, but also don't go with each other!!! Like the dullest pinky shade ever with the brightest neon yellow??? Sorry but nope...

The prototype MIP on the AMERICAN catalogue for this set has Sorbet Surprise on a card saying Cherry Berry (NOT Crunch Berry).

But there's so much going on with names in this set and them being all switched about, seriously...

Though that's basically a different thread topic in it's own right.

I just think that the Cherry Berry thing - and the fact that's also a G4 name - demonstrates that in this set's case some of the UK names are the original US names and the US ones alterations.  (Probably not Sorbet though).

Sorbet Surprise is grapes though. She has her grapevine...and they were always red grapes in the comic.

@PromQueen - on the subject of names, your OP confuses the names xD.

There is that, but the colours of Cherry Berry are raspberry sorbet (the dull pinky) & lemon sorbet (the vivid yellow), & I saw those sorbets a lot as a youngster. I never saw grape sorbet, though I suppose it existed like a lot of other fruit sorbets did.

Btw I think it was on a Discord where we had food comparisons (re the different names of the Sundae Best Ponies on opposite sides of the Atlantic) & I found out Sorbet is frozen fruit compote or something, while US Sherbet is the same but mixed with ice-cream. UK Sherbet however is the powdery stuff we dip sticks into & eat that way... It was just something I remember finding out not too long ago...

Yeah, I think that Sorbet Surprise was a British alteration to make more sense, as Sherbet didn't mean anything icecreamish over here. But there's all kinds of weird going on on the US cards with capitalised and small case names within the set...it's so stupid because I really don't like this set on so many levels but they're so interesting because of all those questions as well.

I really loved themin the comics as a kid, even if the names were sometimes messed up. I never saw them as a kid, so I didn't realise they had mangled old pony poses. If I had I am not sure if I would have bought one.

I don't remember ever seeing lemon sorbet that shade xD I think I'd be worried!!!

You might have a point on the raspberry although I don't remember a lot of sorbet around in general when I was a kid...

Don't even start me on the name confusion!!! I thought the UNICORN was Sorbet Surprise at first because of it, but nope, she's Chocolate Chip...

So many mistakes on leaflets & cards it took us a long time to get their correct names!!!

Sherbet. She's just ehhhh on colors, even though her pose is my favorite.

Cherry Berry/Crunchberry is my least favourite. I'm not keen on the infamous ham-and-cheese colour combo on any pony, and the chartreuse hair just makes it even worse. :blink:

It’s really interesting about the names for this set.  It’s almost as if Hasbro couldn’t decide what name was supposed to go to each pony until right before the ponies hit store shelves.

I’m not a big fan of this set but my least favorite is Coco Berry/Chocolate Chip.

Not sure who I'm going to vote for yet...other than Swirly Whirly/Butter Kiss, who I like, (and maybe, MAYBE Peppermint Crunch a distant second), I really dislike them all equally. I find their colors kind of either bland and redundant or downright ugly (ham & cheese pony  XD).

Crunch Berry.

I have to go with Crunch Berry because that hair is one of my least favorite hair colors. Most ponies don't pull it off well, and Crunch Berry is sadly one of them.

To be honest, I just don't care for this set because I've no interest in sundaes and ice creams. My teeth are sensitive as an adult and I just don't ever crave them

Tie between either Crunch Berry or Banana Surprise. Banana Surprise has bland colors that do nothing to invoke the color of a banana, and Crunch Berry's colors just aren't attractive. Miniature Sheep hit it right on the head with "ham and cheese" colors.

Despite her name being one of my favorite desserts, I have to go with Sherbet. I'm not big on her dark purple coloring and her pose is one of my least favorites. I still like  her and would gladly add her to my herd, but I prefer her setmates.

What exactly is crunch berry ice cream anyway?

All of them :)

None of them. I will fight you until the end of time :lol:

Spoiler

But my honest answer is the one with ugly neon yellow hair. That stuff stains.

Edit: who said Swirly Whirly, I will come for U!!!

Crunchberry, not my favorite pose, although I don´t like Collector ponies either, Swirly Whirly is my favorite from this set (the little tweak to the pose works wonders for me)
