Spit Take.

[ALIS 38]

Okay so in the show every pony picks things up with their mouth, things like food, money, books, objects of all kinds. So through and average day in Ponyville you are liable to get some of twenty odd ponies saliva in your mouth or on your hooves / craws / paws just by picking up objects w/o magic. Quite a few objects in pony homes must have some dried saliva all over it. Quite a bit if it has been in circulation.

Now you've gotten used to the taste and smell your own saliva and possibly your significant others but here is an experiment you can try to get that Ponyville feel in your own home:

1. Pay a few dozen random people a couple of dollars to drool into a cup for a while. (vegetarian preferred.)
2. Once you got like a liter of the stuff mix some of the cups up into different combinations.
3. Smear a little bit of it all over hands, your food and your possessions and let it dry,
4. Lick everything you would pick up with your mouth if you were a pony.
5. Ask for saliva donations from friends or shop keeps so you can smear stuff they touched.
6. Avoid being institutionalized.

There you have it. You and your home now smells, tastes like and feels a bit more like Ponyville.

 

Enjoy that thought folks.

And the scary thing is, he's right.

And that is why unicorns with their telekinesis are just inherently superior to all other ponies.

 

Also, in addition to saliva, everything probably has teeth marks on it.

I figured there would be traces of saliva when they pick objects with their mouths. Probably some teeth marks too.

I can now be closer to my pony brethren. 10/10 would spit again.

but ponies have flawless teeth and breath. you point is invalid XD

I wonder what the pencil biting ponies do to their pencils if they are called out on something everyone sort of has to do.

[Wind Chaser 4,768]

Appropriate title for the topic, as in, "You spit, I take" or vice-versa.

Correction. They do not. If they did poor Colgate would be outta a job.

[OptimisticNeighsayer 479]

You know, it would be kind of funny if the show had an epidemic episode with all this saliva-sharing as a cause.

 

There's been plenty of times where the same objects have been handled with hooves, especially in the latter seasons.  There might have been some health campaign that we don't know about that encourages ponies to use their hooves rather than mouths whenever possible.
