Yeah, okay, that's what I would call an engine or a reactor, not a battery. /semantics

You know, looking at the Apples' cider-making process, it looks like they're just making apple juice. What's the difference between apple juice and (non-alcoholic) apple cider supposed to be, anyway?

@ginger: the second jolt would have been a different signal, one that makes the engine run at a higher power load.

Cider iirc is unfiltered, and "hard" cider is fermented so that there is ethanol in it.

Then what does the quality control switch do? What happens inside the machine when it's turned off?

Yup, Cider is unfiltered and unpasteurized, while juice is both.

Deactivates the divinity spell that was checking if apples are bad or not.

The quality control switch? A hard switch that unplugs the QC checker and prevents it from running.

Anyway, due to the customer's general reaction to the cider, and going on the fact that I (as a UK citizen) cannot comprehend the idea of Soft Cider. I'm going to assume that the cider they're all drinking is alcoholic

But, how? Alcohol requires fermentation, and there is no way it's had time to ferment if there selling it the day after it's pressed, or even the same day.

Especially since the entire production team is American and/or Canadian where alcoholic cider is always prefaced by Hard.....

Sweet Apple Acres clearly sells all the major kinds of apple based beverages, including filtered apple juice, both soft and hard cider, and AJ's namesake drink.

Earth Pony magic makes the yeast ferment it fast, an old Apple Clan trick.

Its also why G1 Applejack is so clumsy, because she's also consistently drunk.

A function of Earth Pony magic allows for near instantaneous fermentation.

I Just call it alcoholic Cider since it is very funny for the entire town to be desperate for it if it is alcohol.

Well forgive me for finding the idea of "Soft" cider ludicrous!

Exactly. It makes the whole thing funnier

Just think of it as "raw" applejuice, then, Ginger

Also, Twi clearly favors a classy vintage that shares a bottle type with some brand of hot sauce.

Since Luna has been gifted the fan on of distilling literal magical moonshine, it'd be interesting to have an alcohol-filled fanfic where somepony gives a lecture on the many wines liquors, and other boozes of Equestria. Also Luna's moonshine is clearly a light and delicate drink where Apple Clan booze is hard like the Earth.

Hell, I still find the whole English people default to alcoholic When thinking of cider, while Americans default to non-alcoholic thing quite funny. If only for a English people are drunkards joke.

@Seraph. Actually, we have French fries over here. They're thin chips.

What do you call chunky fries over in america then?

Little late, but I too think EP magic allows for fast food manipulation, and I'm not talking about messing around with burgers.

I know them as thin and thick shoestring fries, and then there are crinkle-cut fries with that wavy cut pattern to them.

@apple: yeah the real master chefs in Equestria are all Earth Ponies.

Ok, in america you call chips "fries"

and in the UK we call what you call "Chips" "Crisps"

Does the word "Crisps" not exist in America?

#82900 Seraphem Sun, 29th Jan '12 7:26:37 AM from Delamare

by thin do mean very VERY thin? Cuase here Chips aren't by default a potato product, there just thin crunchy wafers, the two most common are potato chips and corn chips but tehre are others. French fires are potatoes that have been cut up and boiled in oil, size and shape only get a modifier, really big thickly cut ones are steak fires, thin long one are shoestring fires, diced into cubes are homefries etc...

right that's the word you guys use, and nope we got nthing called crisps. but yeah what you call crisps we call chips.
