Okay, so last Christmas I bought myself my first regular-sized G1 pony, Galaxy. When she arrived, I noticed not only that she had amazingly bright colors (I had never actually even seen a G1 in real life... Also, I've never seen a picture of a pinkish-purple Galaxy, as most websites refer to her body color. But that's besides the point), but also that she smelled kind of funny, in a nice way. I assumed it was the scent of her previous home, and that it'd probably wear off in time, so I didn't think much of it.
However, nearly 2 months afterward, she still has the scent, and in the meantime, I found a picture of a MOC Galaxy, with a label saying "Includes Galaxy(tm), rainbow comb, ribbon, scented body".
Now, after having heard time and again that the Sundae Best ponies (released a 2-3 years later) were the very first scented ponies, I became rather confused.
I did a little research, and according to what I saw, Fizzy, for example, is scented too, but Gingerbread is not, coming instead with a sticker. From what I can gather, it seems like TEs came with either one or the other (scent or sticker). There are different types of back cards out there, though... And it still sounds kind of weird to me, especially since I had never seen this information anywhere.
Just curious, anyone know anything about this?
