The episode In a nutshell  

@Crowley  
Cider can be made of either apples or pears. It is simply more traditional to use the term with apples.

@Dirty Bit  
Oh and the characters ar all anthro, that’s the only way I could see that scenario working.

@chaotic-7  
Sorry, I was thought I was being funny, I had this sorta skit playing over in my head where Mrs.Cake was reminisceing about Pear Butter and Bright Mac and that one part where she emerges from the bushes and 70’s porn music starts playing in the background and after giving just enough to go on where the audience gets the idea of where that scene is headed, the scene immediately cuts back to present day where AJ and Big Mac just look mortified as AJ is covering Apple Bloom’s ears and Mrs. Cake just complete nonchalantly (kinda like Pam) replies that it was the 70’s and everypony was doing things like that back in those days.
 
Guess it was just one of those things that seemed funnier in my head. Didn’t mean to offend or sound pervy.

@chaotic-7
 
Not really

@Dirty Bit  
Could you just imagine 70’s porn music begin to be played in the background when Mrs. Cake a.k.a. Chiffon Swirl emerges from the bushes whe she’s caught spying on Applejack’s parents.

my room suddenly become dusty for no reason when I’m watching this episode.

I cried. Not since season 5 has that happened… This may have just added another nail in the coffin of BEST SEASON YET!

@chaotic-7
 
Same here

The one character Burnt Oak kinda reminded me of Sam Elliot.

@Dirty Bit  
I though it was coming from Crow’s mouth, not Pear and Mac’s. Also, I only know that from it’s negative uses, so I though he was saying it wasn’t that good.

This season has just become insanely better

@Meanlucario
 
The joke is that when someone does something one considers very good/very bad, you have someone else going “Hold my [insert beverage here]” before topping what was done before in a more superior fashion.
 
For example:
 
Fluttershy: I think I’m the shyest pony ever. I mean, it’s in my name, after all
 
Marble Pie: _{Hold my cider…}

@Crowley  
@Dirty Bit  
I don’t get it.

The last panel speaks volumes XD
 
@Background Pony #8DD7
 
Nope. But that doesn’t mean that the episode wasn’t entirely moving.
 
@Crowley
 
Okay, I laughed.

No man is prepared for the feels this episode brings.

…am I the only one who didn’t meltdown by the episode?

@Tchernobog  
(Yeah, but since it’s apples AND pears, I didn’t wanna choose between cider and poire)

@Crowley  
Don’t you mean cider~

Mr and Mrs Cake: “We make quite the couple!”  
Cadance and Shining Armor: “Please, we’re OTP in Ponyland.”  
Bright Mac and Pear Butter: “Hold my beer.”
