Talk:The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000/@comment-87.54.33.238-20120217135915

Uhm..

So, lemme' get this straight as rain: The Flim-Flam frontier trades come to town and are able to produce the same high quality product as La Familia Applejacks (as seen by grannies reaction when she test-tastes their "malicious, kapitaliztic" apple-goo) at at-least twice.... or was it five times? the speed, and this is somehow spun to be a bad thing?

Not only this, but the Applejacks, holding the -monopoly of apple-trading-, refuse to seize said opportunity (Because up until the contest, the brothers didn't cheat) of making their production more effective? Oh, someone might say the 75 %/25 % split is unfavorable, but surely some -negotiation- could happen. Split the income and I still think the Applejacks would come out more profitable (Did you see the line even after the Applejacks had sold out? Little fear of over-saturating the marked, I think), while satisfying a larger amount of customers AND underlining the importance of embracing progress whenever a satisfactory opportunity arises AS WELL as rewarding the engineers, -not con men-, for their hard work devising their ingenious, functional and quality-minded contraption.

Wee-dogey, that ain't clear thinking, partner!

Why not make the actual process of producing their apples come with some sort of malediction (BEFORE the competition), like for example cheating with the actual process or spouting too much pollution or that the cider just IS sup-par quality or something that's actually a problem?

Right now, it only serves to remind us that the Applejacks are -too- conservative. And, incidentally, teaches the viewer that PROGRESS IS BAD, BAD, BAD.
