It looks like Hasbro is finally rolling out some G4 pony fruit snacks. Sadly, behind the cardboard Twilight Sparkle exterior hides a monster that few bronies can relate with.
Alright, "monster" might be a little mean, but this definitely doesn't look like the Pinkie Pie I know and love.
The box does list some actual G4 gummies, so hopefully we will see them soon!
Thanks to Mr. Ben for the images.

did hasbro just troll us
VastaKustutaTrollestia strikes again
VastaKustutaThat's just cruel ;A;
VastaKustutaIT BURNS
VastaKustutaI guess warehouses full of G3 fruit snacks don't ever go bad? :S
VastaKustutaThat gummy snack's a spy! ....I'll go be quiet now.
VastaKustutaThis is the worst possible thing!!
VastaKustutaYes, but is there a gummy snack of Gummy? Doesn't look like it, unfortunately, Hasbro really missed out on that one.
VastaKustutaAs an 80s child who used to have a ton of the old-school pony toys...*screams in agony*
VastaKustutaDon't take a step back, Hasbro. You finally have good pony designs; don't throw that all away.
IT'S A TRAP
VastaKustutaGod damn it....
VastaKustutaHasbro needs to get rid of G3.... ENTIRELY.
Are we sure the gummies are actually edible, given the inner packaging?
VastaKustutaDO NOT WANT!!!
VastaKustutaThey were so close :U
VastaKustutaNo, monsters a perfect description Seth.
VastaKustutaA Gummy sweet is oddly fitting though.
MY EYES!
VastaKustutaWell, I suppose we can't blame Hasbro. They're too busy working on Season 3 to be concerned about fruit snacks.
VastaKustutaJustified.
Believe it or not, G3 Pinkie Pie used to be likeable. But that was before they changed the G3 art style and made them look creepy.
VastaKustutaI'd still buy this though. I'd save the box, not the wrappers, so who the fuck gives a shit.
Damn you Habsro. There, I'm done with rage.
VastaKustutaThey deserve the title of trollmasters
VastaKustutaTroll Empress Crocker living up to her species.
VastaKustutaAquarian....
VastaKustutathe actual show and Hasbro, marketing, barely cooperate....
Hahaha! The Hasbro peeps are funny
VastaKustutaDammit, Hasbro.
VastaKustutaAHHHHHH!
VastaKustutaThe horror! The horror!
It really looks like they just placed a new box art on old stocks of unsold gummies, harsh, Hasbro, real harsh.
VastaKustutaOh well, at least I had a glimpse of hope when I saw the first image.
It burns!
VastaKustutaNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
VastaKustutaeven though I cant wait to eat fluttershy...
VastaKustutaTHIS IS SO CHEEKY OF YOU HASBRO!! >:O
I actually like fruit snack...but this is still a horrible thing.
VastaKustutaThey still have G3 ones at the Safeway by my house...
VastaKustutaMeanwhile at Hasbro...
VastaKustutaEmployee: Look at all these unsold Gummy sweets, ergh some of these are over 5 years old. They're starting to stink up the place, can we just throw them away already?
Head: *Trollface* I've got a better idea...
Just lacks gelatin to make it plain evil.
VastaKustutaYay preservative snacks! Also, the comments on this post crack me up.
VastaKustutaHasbro just keep trolling us. I would love to see their new toy coming out.
VastaKustutaThat the candy equivalent of a Rick Roll.
VastaKustutaTwilight why is your eye in your mouth that's just silly.
VastaKustutaNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoh.
VastaKustutaWhy don't they just give the Twilight on the box a nice big Trollface.
VastaKustutaAww. Close but no cigar.
VastaKustutaThey spent 5 minutes on the box and that's it. Not cool :(.
VastaKustutaOne of my best friends who's both a Brony and works at a Safeway bought it last weekend. He's been buying the fruit snacks even if it's G3... he's addicted them... but either he's happy that at least they're meeting us halfway.
VastaKustuta@SorinLion Considering the ingredient list, the cigar could be slightly healthier.
VastaKustutaHasbro isn't stupid, they know what they're doing. And what they're doing is pi**ing us off.
VastaKustuta>unbox massive stockpiles of unsold G3 snacks
VastaKustuta>rebox them in new packaging
>lazily slap Cardboard Twilight Sparkle on the front cover
>???
>PROFIT!!!
*slowclap for Hasbro's merch team*
These fruit snacks need to be condemned.
VastaKustutaI don't know why you say Celestia is a trolling god.
VastaKustutaHasbro's CEO is.
They derped twilights eye and the gummies on the box are G3 shaped. This is just sad
VastaKustuta"monster" is not mean. It's TRUE.
VastaKustutaJ.C. HOW HORRIFYING!
VastaKustutaPerfect for Halloween though.
BETTY CROCKER BETTY CROCKER
VastaKustutaFUCKING BETTY CROCKEEEEEEEEER
Awesome, I was looking for something to make me sick!
VastaKustutaAnyone else noticing that Twilight's irises are actually outside her eye sockets? And her front legs are pretty much coming out of her ribcage?
VastaKustutaDo they even check these things before printing tens of thousands of them?
Uhm... Am I the only one who sees something wrong with Twi's eye..?
VastaKustutaHasbro REALLY needs more interconnectivity and effective networking; they aren't orchestrating the sales and TV show very well.
VastaKustuta...Of course, for all practical purposes, perhaps Hasbro doesn't need that orchestration to sell toys. KIDS THESE DAYS!! Y U NO CARE ABOUT ACCURACY AND QUALITY OF MERCH?
Holy God that's sneaky. Stupid trolls at Betty Crocker.
VastaKustutaWhyyyyyy?! That's just cruel!
VastaKustuta@Cloudynights
VastaKustutaTJMMD (This Just Made My Day)
When I read the comments, I thought you guys were talking about Gummy the alligator XD
VastaKustuta@~pkThunder
VastaKustutaTHIS SONG. WHERE IS IT!?!
I'VE WANTED THIS FOR MY PHONE RINGTONE FOR THE LONGEST TIME BUT CAN'T FIND ANYTHING COMPATIBLE!!!
Oh wow, they did screw up her eyes.
VastaKustutaWe've been so trolled.
VastaKustutaDear lord... IS THAT A G1 PONY???
VastaKustutaGood thing I don't eat thise kinda gummies anymkre.
VastaKustutaIsn't that a G1 design inside? G1 was very likeable and has that great '80s cartoon feel to it.
VastaKustutaoh hasbro why do you keep trolling us??
VastaKustutaNo hate on older ponies please.
VastaKustuta@OperatorPony
VastaKustutaThat's a late-G3 Pinkie Pie. (I actually wouldn't have minded early G3 Pinkie Pie, who was actually fairly likeable.)
There is simply one person we can all blame this on... Dinkleburg!!!
VastaKustuta@Rosewater
VastaKustutaTHIS.
Also who the fuck confuses late-G3 with G1? Now I know to most bronies they seem quite similar, but there's one major distinction: late-G3 wasn't FREAKING AMAZING.
@Rosewater
VastaKustutanope.avi
Crappy design, creepy marketing, and tasted like diabeetus mixed with corn, ham, and cheese. Ugh.
G4ever
Twilight's mane is parted, and it looks pretty good.
VastaKustuta@NotAGoodUsername360
VastaKustutaDon't forget Twilight's Derp.
G1 = Mediocre at best.
VastaKustuta...Is it odd that even after seeing the packaging, I wouldn't mind having a bag of those just to see how they taste?
VastaKustutaWhat this means is they finally ran out of the G3.5 boxes but not the G3.5 bag material, which I can imagine is fairly normal for large manufacturers.
VastaKustutaWell at least I wont feel bad when I eat them.
VastaKustutaIt's an elaborate ruse!
VastaKustutaBatterwitch!
VastaKustutaWhat sweet heracy is this??!!
VastaKustutaYou might even call it...
VastaKustuta*shades*
A Trogen Pony.
PINKIE PIE, NOOOOO!
VastaKustuta....man, these fruit snacks are good.
Hssssssssssss...Evil!
VastaKustutaEVIL!
Betty Crocker strikes again!
VastaKustutaThe packaging is a LIE!
VastaKustutaDoh ho ho. "Pretty sneaky lil sis..." lol Nice. Those actually look like the bags in a MLP fruit snacks box I had a little while back. Though the outside of that box matched the bags at least. Now they're getting clever. ;)
VastaKustutaOH GOD NOT THE EVIL BATTER WITCH
VastaKustutaTHESE TREATS OFFEND YOUR PRINCESS LUNA! BEWARE OUR GUMMY FRUIT FLAVORED WRATH!
VastaKustutaTHE HORROR!
VastaKustutaTHE HORROR!
CROCKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR!!!!
VastaKustutaYou know, if we combined all the deformed Twilight vectors into one (Twi-lion, Twi-worm, and now Twi-eye), we'd probably create a new eldritch abomination.
VastaKustutaThe gummies are a lie!
VastaKustutaHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSBRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOO!
VastaKustutaThese will be unacceptable sacrifices to Nightmare Moon...
ha, i just found these today at safeway. tbch my brother and I bought a box without actually knowing what it was. Apparently someone beat us to submitting pictures of the box to EQD XP
VastaKustutaHey all.
VastaKustutaMr. Ben here. I was the one who submitted this. I have to admit, I was pretty surprised myself.
I sort of have to applaud the marketing tactics. The box with the G4 design JUST appeared this week, with my local Shop N Save having gotten rid of the other boxes with the previous design (which had the G3 Pinkie instead of Twilight Sparkle).
There were a handful of boxes on the shelf with the previous design.
That box there in the photo WAS THE ONLY ONE at the store. I was lucky to snatch it up. So, yeah. I wonder how many bronies are in my neighborhood? >_> *shrug*
Anyway, yeah. Didn't expect the old packaging. And unfortunately, Seth was a little off. I should've taken a closer photo, but the images on the box are not of actual G4 ponies. It's the same gummy shapes as they were on the original package.
Not that it matters, since the gummies themselves aren't of any recognizable shapes. They're just fruity gummy blobs.
They're not bad, though. For gummy fruit snacks, anyway. Only four flavors, however. Decent enough little treat, if you happen to be into that sort of thing.
Twilight's vector is what scares me the most O_o
VastaKustutaAw, yeah, the eye. >XD
VastaKustutaI can't believe I didn't notice that before. I actually looked at the box to be sure. Ha HAA!
That's actually pretty terrifying.
…the HAY is that???
VastaKustutaIts like Kryptonite to me... Get it away!!!
VastaKustutaShould have had Trollestia On it.
VastaKustutaThey need to fix Twilight's eyes and it'll look a little better.
VastaKustuta:C
VastaKustutahelp me...
That snack is a spy!
VastaKustutaThe batterwitch strikes again. I should have known it was too good to be true as soon as I saw that evil red spoon!
VastaKustutaWow, talk about master level trolling. The internet still has a lot to learn in the art of teh troll!
VastaKustutaAt the first look, I thought Twilight had a black eye...
VastaKustutaI liked My Little Pony gummies long before Friendship is Magic. They're freaking delicious!
VastaKustutaI dont care if they dont make the ponies right I just want a Gummy gummy. INCEPTION!!!!!!!!
VastaKustutaYou are all missing a very salient point. If those are still the G3 fruit snacks, they are fucking delicious.
VastaKustuta@Snapai
VastaKustutaI guess not. Since I buy some at Safeway all the time and they taste normal.
Okay, how did they manage that fuck up!?
VastaKustutaoh god
VastaKustutai now have the worst idea relating to the fanfic cupcakes
why
So there is a G4 inside of a G3 inside of a G4?
VastaKustutaHasbro's just fucking with us now.
VastaKustutaSecrets and Lies! It's all secrets and lies with these makers of Ponies!
VastaKustuta@IF(luttershy)WB
VastaKustutaYo pony, I heard you like gummies so we put Gummy in your gummies so you can have gummies with your Gummy.
HASBROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
VastaKustutaLOL they gotta sell the old stock off before making new stuff...
VastaKustutajust imagine how old that stock might actualy be....
Twilight has a black eye.. XD
VastaKustutaHasbro out Kubo'd Kubo xD
VastaKustutaWell I can give Gummies to them too...
VastaKustuta...the one that has been in their sewers for the past 5 years!
Maybe they'll know about how we feel about a "play of words" after that. >:3
Nightmare moon should gobble these up.
VastaKustutaOkay, that's just cruel. Sorry Nightmare Moon.
That Twilight on the box is the most poorly rendered vector I'm seen to date, with absolutely disturbing anatomical mistakes. The G3 pony on the individual packs inside is better drawn, and that's just very wrong.
VastaKustuta@Snapai
VastaKustutaOf course not, silly pony! Fruit snacks have a half-life of at least 4,000 years! I have a 10 year-old bag of Swedish Fish, and they still taste the same! AND THEY GIVE ME VISIONS OF DA FUTURE!!! BWEEEE HEEE HEEE!!!
@Rubik Hooves
VastaKustuta*posts just the first line of your comment to the FBI... watches the SWAT team smashing down yer door* Trollestia will have to notice me after a trolling like this! >:}
Look closely at the pictures of the fruit snacks on the box... THOSE ARE NOT G4 PONIES! So technically it isn't completely false advertising.
VastaKustutaLike opening up a case of C-rations and finding it was packed in 1975.
VastaKustutaThis must be why the Homestuck writer hates Betty Crocker.
VastaKustutaI know what you mean!! The other day i was in Walmart, and they still had G3 pony band-aids for kids! c'mon Hasbro! get with the times!
VastaKustutaHer iris is literally falling out of her head.
VastaKustutaThe hell hasbro. You have artists >:|
Oh crud... That accursed batterwitch is EVERYWHERE! Oh.. and stupid false advertized candies... I guess.
VastaKustutaWhat's up with Twilight's eyes??? OH, THE HORROR!
VastaKustutaI will still buy and eat them.
VastaKustutaI remember buying these in the old G3 Package just so me and my little sister could munch on the evil, yet defenseless G3 Gummy Ponies... >:3 afterwards we watched some more MLP:FiM ^_^
VastaKustutaApparently inside those scary wrappers is the correct candies though. Where do i get these?
VastaKustutaMonstrous.
VastaKustutaAlso, I don't mean to offend the few fans of the original material here, but I would have no problem if Hasbro took everything pre-G4 and just buried it 100 feet beneath the Nevada desert.
It burns! IT BURNS!
VastaKustutaOh no. Betty Crocker! It's more evil than G3!
VastaKustutaOkay. I get it, G3 cartoons suck. But you shouldn't hate on older gens like that. The G3 toys are actually better than the G4 toys.
But they shouldn't shove something G3 related into something g4 related. Like those tote bags in Australia. But then again Hasbro or Betty Crocker thought that no one can tell the difference.
My brony sense is tingling!
VastaKustutaTHE BATTERWITCH HAS HER GNARLED CLAWS IN EVERYTHING! EMPRESS BETTY CROCKER WILL PAY FOR THIS HEINOUS CRIME!
VastaKustuta@BlueBreeze
VastaKustutaI lost...
Gee Hasbro could have easily find a brony on DA who would draw a better Twilight Sparkle for free....
VastaKustutaThough I detest G3, I must admit, those things are probably delicious, and I would like to try them sometime.
VastaKustutaALL MY MONEY
VastaKustutahttp://i42.tinypic.com/16jrii1.jpg
Pictures of the actual ponies: http://i40.tinypic.com/raohec.jpg
And yes, they are delicious.
I haven't seen any G4 gummies, though. They've all been G3.
They still have the old G3 MLP fruit snacks at our Fairshare which is a small cheaper grocery store. But at least its not a lie the box is still G3 as well. Bronies and little girls a like will want the new MLP so makes me wonder how many actually buy those things still.... probably why they just sit there a collect dust...

VastaKustutaI found a box for 1.98 at WinCo http://sliferthewhythefuckdidigeta.tumblr.com/post/15768347707/so-i-found-these-mlp-fim-fruit-snacks-at-winco
VastaKustutaIt's just the G3 Pinkie Pie, she's beautiful too, actually I like her hairstyle a lot, sadly her cheeks are too big.
VastaKustutaCROCKERRRRR
VastaKustutaI got some today, hoping they'd be G4 by now. I was dissapointed.
I work where these are made and just saw the pouch packaging material with the G4 artwork in the warehouse today. They'll be on store shelves soon!

VastaKustutaOh god the Batterwitch. Why?
VastaKustutaWhat would posses Hasbro to spew out this nightmare?
And yet... They look so tasty...
You know what this is ??
