Cider, Super-Speedy Style

   More anti-brony arguing. Wow. Not in response to anything in particular, just I thought I needed a good springboard for this, so I'm making one up. There's probably going to be that, so my excuse isn't all that far-fetched. But, it's not anti-brony so much as anti-... Well, no, it is anti-brony. Who says you have to be for children to be clean? Or even vice versa? For example, the episode The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000. Yeah, you know this crap is going to be awesome from that title alone. These guys are hard core.

   The cider in that episode is implied to be alcoholic. No foals are seen to be drinking it. Plus, it foams when you pour it, which is far more damning. Still, they don't state this explicitly, because this is still a kid's show and they don't have the guts in their blood like with the cider in Fantastic Mr. Fox. But it's there. Does this make Rainbow Dash, the one most excited for cider season, a functional alcoholic?

   We get to see the entire process of cider-making, though, and there's no time for fermentation. So, I guess it's not. Well, actually, there wouldn't even need to be: the only reason horses are able to digest raw grains is because of the fermentation that naturally occurs in the horse's cecum. This only raises more questions, though, like, why would they even need to ferment the cider in the first place? Okay, it further aids digestion. I guess that makes all the ponies functional alcoholics. Beer for my horses, indeed.
