They use this popularity to their advantage. Managing to entice the entire crowd into joining in their song, they quickly make themselves popular. The brothers come into town File:He's Flim He's Flam S02E15.pngĪmidst the chaos, the Flim Flam brothers arrive in their large vehicle, which they later reveal to be named the "Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000." They kick off a long musical number as soon as they arrive, and sing about their production of cider. The crowd, however, is still angry and complains that the Apples always run out of cider before everyone is served. Applejack explains that there will be more cider tomorrow, and that while they always manage to improve production every year, the family recipe is made with love and care and can't be rushed. Extremely upset by this, Rainbow Dash and the other ponies who didn't get cider begin to complain. As the serving goes on, the barrels of cider left for Big McIntosh to tap decrease, and Fluttershy, who is just one place in front of Rainbow Dash, gets the last mug of cider for the day. Pinkie Pie buys not just one mug of cider but a whole trays' worth.
