Random Merch Stuff: Rainbow Dash Shopping Bags, Pony Cookies Officially Release

Source: Comics-N-Stuff

A store called Comic N Stuff recently rolled out these Rainbow Dash shopping bags.  Remember back in the day when we were only on the internet?  What a silly time that was.

And for those seeing to devour some helpless gram cracker ponies, the cookies have officially released over in Australia, specifically at a store called Aldi.  Inside, you will find Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Sweetie Belle,  Butterflies, and Flowers.  I didn't get any reports of any other ponies popping up, but I did hear Pinkie Pie tastes delicious.

Each pack also comes with  30 popup stickers.

So go buy some cookies!

The_A_Drain said...

I think we have Aldi here in the UK... I wonder...

Tokyo Oranges said...

Aldi? Like the store where you gotta put a quarter in the thingie on the cart to get it out?
That means, possibly, They'll be coming to the US too :D

CityFlyer502 said...

The internet's yesterday. We're all over the place now! :D

stringtheory said...

anyone know where comic n stuff is?

Delta Pangaea said...

Silly Seth, I said one OF thirty. Not thirty per BAG.

Also, I didn't send the pic on the top-right. I mean, if you're getting pics of it from elsewhere, more power to ya, but having my name on it feels off.

Lupo Lycanth said...

AMERICA: Y u the only country to get frequent MLP merch? >.<

Ragemoar said...

Just checked out the Aldi in Netherlands since i live like 2 mins away.
Didnt have any MLP cookies :(

Matoro said...

Could I find these cookies at Wal-Mart foods section or Jewel? I want it for the stickers yo! Plus the cookies would make a great treat for a upcoming MLP: FiM persuasive speech I am planning to do in the near future for my communications class! :D ...And I think I need some good tips too, to make a great persuasive MLP speech. :/

Avohkah Tamer said...

Holy crap, I just looked up Aldi, I had no idea they were in so many countries around the world. That store chain is massive. O_O

I hope the MLP cookies end up here in the US before long!

@Matoro
Ohey, Matoro, fellow BZP member? =D

Masterge77 said...

Australia, Y U GET COOKIES AND AMERICA DOES NOT!?

20 percent cooler said...

The cookies weren't a lie!

ALDI FACTS:

There are two seperate Aldi Groups called Aldi Nord (North) and Aldi Süd (South) operating worldwide. Germany, the land of origin, is the only country in which they both operate, naturally covering the northern and southern half, respectively. Everywhere else, all stores in an individual country are only either Aldi Nord or Aldi Süd.

The US, Australia and UK Aldis, for instance, are Aldi Süd. France and the Netherlands - Aldi Nord.

The Albrecht brothers, each owners of one half of Aldi are both multi-billionaires. It's a strange development, though, as Aldi generally stocks no-name brand products; I guess it's different in Australia, or they make exceptions. I believe it may be a cunning ploy executed by Aldi Süd to finally achieve global domination of all Aldis, as it is fact that pony cookies will result in an increase in revenue of at least twenty percent.

Rasly said...

oh cool we got Aldi in germany too ! i wonder if they got those cookies.

ClosetBrony said...

There's an Aldi here in Florida not far from me. I must remember to stop by.

@Silfir

I saw what you did there. ;)

getoman10 said...

@stringtheory

The bags are all they way in California, im stuck here in NJ.
I'm afraid I can't accept this challenge

SJenk said...

What is this, advertising? I smell something afoot..

Spazturtle said...

I could eat Pinkie Pie all day.

Ten said...

Got an Aldi in the UK so may check it out there as those cookies look tasty.

stringtheory said...

@getoman10
I'm in Rhode Island so it's even further for me, and I'm not travelling across the country just to get a shopping bag, when hasbro's headquarters is just 5-10 minutes away in the next town up,

StrangeNoise said...

I went into Asda today looking for blind bags. Didn't find any, but did find this: http://strangenoises.org/~rachel/4ponies.jpg.

Is that set a known product? It seemed the only one of its kind there, so no Fluttershy, no Applejack and no Derpy :-(

Consequence said...

I'm officially moving to Australia. For the crackers of course :3

StrangeNoise said...

BTW asda also has some obvious rip-off own-brand pony toys too, somewhat larger than hasbro's. Aw, I should have took photos, didn't think of it. I'll let someone else do that, I'm not going back in there! (shudder)

Artsie Bee said...

@StrangeNoise Those have been floating around a while, neat that you found some, though!

On a side note, I think I see LUNA STICKERS! <3 Want.

Ponybro7 said...

you can keep the cookies, I'll take the stickers.

Octavia said...

Pretty awesome shopping bags. And I want those cookies and stickers too. Bring'em to the States. D:

StrangeNoise said...

@Artsie Bee

I've seen the individual figures around in pictures, but presumed they came from blind bags. Wasn't sure if that non-blind *set* was already known.

Luna said...

Think it's time to make use of my Australian passport and move out of the Netherlands

But first lets see if the cookies are in the Dutch Aldi

Mike said...

I wonder if I might see those shopping bags at the next Bronycon.

Ysalamiri said...

Aldi? You mean like.. The Aldi we have here in Belgium too? :D

ultra8 said...

Well this is interesting. It's been awhile since I've been to one of their shops but they're located throughout San Diego, CA(usually in malls). They're a good choice if your looking for old toys/figure and cards but if your looking for comics be wary, they seal all their comics (even the brand new ones)and don't allow you to browse through them before you buy(atleast a few of the mall stores anyway).

ultra8 said...

@ultra8
Comics N Stuff I mean.

graywolf71 said...

AAAAAHH Luna's on 3 of those stickers!
Sell them in the U.S. please.

Oz said...

The cookies... are they vegan? :3

Unknown said...

Just out of reach. The torment!!!

Princess Luna >Everypony said...

Thats one, two, three fantastic LUNA stickers!
To bad I live in the US

Otherunicorn said...

There are only three pony variations. There is also a MLP logo cookie. The company producing these is an Australian company, though the products are actually produced in China. Munches another cookie.

CaptainDash said...

The party pony/ Element of Laughter is on a bag of cookies named "Munchies"?

Destroyer said...

Omg the bestest things in the world are coming together ahhhh pony cookies best thing evar!!

Wilowah said...

Well, I now have an excuse to visit Australia again...

richfiles said...

You know... I wish all the G3 stuff would just DISAPPEAR, so new G4 stuff could make their way into markets everywhere. The Walmart in my town is so small, that it's NOT even a 24 hour store, it FINALLY got blind bags yesterday. Not much more than just a month ago though, in the 2 weeks before Christmas restock, a G3 Mermaid pony castle set popped up, out of the blue. Dollar stores and retail stores both are still packed to the teeth with G3 stickers. The Target in my town still had G3 EARTH pony Rainbow Dash and her RC car, NEXT to Pinkie Pies RC car only a short while ago.

Also...

Hasbro! Enough with stupid new princesses each year and just show some love for the one that you already neglect!

Now if only I could get some munchies and get Luna stickers! I'd say, mouth full of cookies, "Why wub woo Woona!"

EPHorizon said...

Curses, cookies only in the Land Down Under.

Bring it to US shores and I'll pay top dollar, Hasbro.

Miracle Rabbit said...

best plastic bag ever :D

Dilemma said...

The plastic bags were promo item from the hub and there are probably lots of other local comic shops around the country that have them. Take a trip to your local comic shop, you might get lucky <3

anname219 said...

Lol. Wouldn't most guys feel weird eating Pinkie Pie in cookie form XD

Squiisies said...

Upon seeing that Australia finally gets something pony, let alone at a store that's a 5 minute walk away from me, I yelled "YEEEEEEEEEEEEES" and probably weirded my brother out for a second there. Might go investigate later today.

Quackers said...

I saw these in the Aldi catalogue this morning, and on tumblr, they're only $3.

And I'd like some G3 cookies too. Just because.
