Minuette’s voice is so cute she’s always so happy

@Smart Heart  
Yeah. She is one of the background ponies to appear in all nine seasons, the Best Gift Ever, Rainbow Roadtrip, and the movie.

Look at that blue ball of sunshine!

That was in early season 1 days. Nobody even expected DHX Studio B or Hasbro to ever officially name any background pony. Everyone expected these pure filler ponies to officially remain nameless for all eternity, another reason why the Bronies began to name background ponies themselves. So folks said, “Hey, she’s cute, and her mane and tail look like toothpaste, let’s call her Colgate!”
 
The beginning of the end for this name was when she was included in a blind bag wave and thus named “Minuette” by Hasbro. Those who believed that Hasbro made the show immediately dropped “Colgate” and said, “Minuette is now canon!1!!” Those who knew that Hasbro’s saying in the show was next to zilch and remembered things like naming Lyra “Heartstrings” (can you even imagine the shitstorm) and Trixie “Lulamoon” (no shitstorm, Bronies were too busy shitstorming over “Heartstrings”) said, “What does Hasbro know about the names of these ponies? She’ll stay Colgate!”
 
The ending of the end was “Amending Fences” when she was called “Minuette” on screen. And it doesn’t get any more official than the show itself. (In the meantime, names such as Berry Punch or Carrot Top are still in use because these ponies are too popular to be renamed by anyone else than DHX. Not to mention that the DHX crew had called Carrot Top “Carrot Top”, too, before we did.)

You wouldn’t, you have to be an OG fan to call her that.

@RAMMSTEIN45  
I see almost nobody calling her “Colgate” in recent times.
 
@Background Pony #B77B  
I think the reason is because the writers of Hasbro didn’t accept the name “Colgate” was possibly due to copyright infringement.

@RAMMSTEIN45  
Yeah I know. I myself didn’t mind calling her Colgate. But it was just crazy to see people getting mad about her name being Minuette.

So cute! 💕

@Background Pony #B77B  
No, but it was just what everyone called her back then, and it stuck.

I remember when people were so mad that she wasn’t called Colgate.
 
Seriously? You really thought that they’d give her that name?

I still call her Colgate.
