After playing a certain token game at the Labor Day Carnival, I discovered SSC playing cards exist.<br />
<br />
First off, the box looks swell with the simple strawberry pattern. It all looks fine and dandy, doesn't it?<br />
<br />
<img src="http://cpd2009.fileburst.com/ImageShare/DSCF9487.JPG" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: DSCF9487.JPG]" class="mycode_img" /><br />
Oh....<br />
<br />
The "mark of quality" so to speak. In other words, this isn't an officially licensed SSC product. This is on par with those bootleg action figures I find at Indian Pow-Wows. Carnival's and fairs with games tend to stock things like this. Other playing card decks I saw were ones with Mickey Mouse and one with the confederate flag.<br />
<br />
What does the deck actually look like? This..<br />
<img src="http://cpd2009.fileburst.com/ImageShare/DSCF9491.JPG" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: DSCF9491.JPG]" class="mycode_img" /><br />
<img src="http://cpd2009.fileburst.com/ImageShare/DSCF9489.JPG" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: DSCF9489.JPG]" class="mycode_img" /><br />
<br />
The Joker confuses me. SSC herself is a very friendly character, so how did she qualify to become the Joker? Also take note the quality of the SSC image on the card is very poor and blurry, along with the Engrish-ish "PLAYING CARD" above her.<br />
<br />
I really though this was an officially licensed product given the back alone. If it was official, there would obviously be an American Greetings copyright somewhere on the back, which is nonexistent here. I guess I don't pay attention to these things.<br />
<br />
In the end, I am keeping the boxed playing card set wrapped in plastic, while I'll open up the loose deck. If any of the non-Joker cards have stolen SSC imagery, I will post them here.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is just in my in general Strawberry Shortcake pick-up mentions for late 2012. Going to start doing these more often. This isn't including comics or DVD's, which I'll at least do the comics of in another more detailed post. <br />
<br />
I apologize for my poor picture taking and forcing you to get really close up pictures of my disgusting floor while the carpet is being cleaned. Sorry.<br />
<br />
The first thing I guess I'll show off is the Strawberry Shortcake playdough I got from the Walgreens that Alexia works at. She always keeps an eye out for Strawberry Shortcake merchandise for me, even if it's stuff I can't fit into. This was one of the things I could enjoy personally though.<br />
<br />

<br />
It comes with little discs with the face of one of the girls on one side, and their fruit on the other.. the funny thing though is that..<br />
<br />
&lt;!-- m --&gt;&lt;a class="postlink" href="http://i.imgur.com/6jy7da3.jpg"&gt;http://i.imgur.com/6jy7da3.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!-- m --&gt;<br />
<br />
Yeah, you are seeing that correctly. Lemon's disc is orange, Orange disc is like a I assume the "raspberry" color, Blueberry's disc is Purple, Raspberry's disc is yellow, and Plum's disc is blue. And yes, Lemon's orange disc does make the lemon fruit, I checked. Just a really silly switch around on the colors I found amusing. <br />
<br />
&lt;!-- m --&gt;&lt;a class="postlink" href="http://i.imgur.com/YsElEla.jpg"&gt;http://i.imgur.com/YsElEla.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!-- m --&gt;<br />

<br />
Also allows you to make a Strawberry Shortcake mold, as pictured there. It's pretty cute, despite the mess around. Comes with a cute little playmat you can place the fruits in, a couple of colors though not enough to make correct colors of all the fruits, and your standard knife and roller and stuff. Not bad for honestly free. <br />
<br />

<br />
I found this at the Michael's craft store nearby. Just a cute dollar purchase, comes with a coloring book, a couple crayons, and a paper doll.. though the paper doll is dressed with "stickers" so it's a bit awkward. But for a dollar I'm not complaining. I got one pack to keep sealed and one pack to play with. <br />
<br />

<br />
Strawberry Shortcake PEZ dispenser. Like the Play Pack I got one for eating and enjoying and one to keep sealed. Not much else to say. ^_^<br />

<br />
Some apple juice that had a random assortment of cartoon characters on the tops did have Strawberry Shortcake among them, so Alexia brought that home for me. I already drank the juice, it was okay. ^_^<br />
<br />

<br />
The only Generation 2 pickup this year, though I have a few things planned for this year and this isn't counting DVD's which my collection of has really picked up. Just some cute, plain earrings. Still berry cute. <br />
<br />

<br />
A Strawberry Shortcake Beauty Set that I totally use. The packaging is very cute though so I keep it in it when not using it. Comes with glitter body spray, a tiny cosmetic bag, and some lotion. Took a closer picture of them all in the box of each. <br />
<br />

Another Strawberry Shortcake tin! I have a few of these, but this one is my favorite! It's a bit bigger and normal shaped, and it's got a cute little handle.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[So, I mentioned a while back to people who remember that I was getting the Strawberry Shortcake comic books as soon as I could. Well, I have two issues now so I thought I should give them some review, let people know what I think. <br />
<br />
Starting with <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Strawberry Shortcake, Berry Fun, Volume 1. </span><br />
<br />
The first story is the <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Pineapple predicament</span>, the main story of the comic. Each comic seems to come with one major story and two minor ones. It was written by Georgia Ball, the Art was done by Tanya Roberts and the Colors by Amy Mebberson. In the side stories, the art AND colors are done by Amy Mebberson and it just seems a tad prettier, but that's just a personal opinion. The art is colourful and vibrant. <br />
<br />
In the Pineapple Predictament, Strawberry is delivered some Pineapples instead of the regular apples she had actually ordered. After comforting the upset postal worker, who was beating himself up for the mistake, Strawberry gets in her mind to find recipes to use the Pineapples on for her cafe. After borrowing a book about Luau Island which contains some recipes for pineapples from her good friend Blueberry Muffin, she talks to Custard about how lovely Luau Island looks in the pictures. Jadie Bug over hears her talking about it and makes the assumption that she must be taking a trip there, and starts to spread the rumor around Berry Bitty City. <br />
<br />
Soon enough, all of her friends think she is going and that she was just keeping it a surprise, and try to help her out and give her the best trip she could get. They are very sweet and try not to let on that they know, and still try to give her things they think will be helpful. This causes a chain of silly situations where Strawberry comes for one thing and comes out with something very different. <br />
<br />
At the end, they feel like they haven't done enough to get her ready for her trip and so surprise her with a gift basket, only to find out that she isn't going at all. It's important to check your facts before you go believing rumors, and the moral here good. Luckily, Strawberry has a plan on what to do with everything.. <img src="https://www.strawberryforum.org/board/images/smilies/wink.png" alt="Wink" title="Wink" class="smilie smilie_2" /> <br />
<br />
There was some definitely cute moments along it, though reading it I feel like sentences like..<br />
<br />
"Respberry Torte may know about trends but that fashion statement is too wild for me!" <br />
<br />
and <br />
<br />
"That was strange, Lemon always has great beauty advice, make I <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">should</span> get some sun!" would suddenly send warning bells in the minds of the people who are overly sensitive to the "girly-er" aspects of the new Strawberry. <br />
<br />
Which is a shame.<br />
<br />
The second story is the <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Blueberry Flu</span>.<br />
<br />
It's a cute little story about Strawberry getting sick, but her friends are there to support her work in the cafe, and realize the kind of work that Strawberry does everyday! <br />
<br />
The third story is the "cutest" of the bunch, the one with a sweetest message. <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Special Delivery</span><br />
<br />
It's holiday time and Orange Blossom is really excited to receive her usual holiday card from her big sister. She comes to the post office everyday looking for the card, only to be sad when it doesn't arrive. When Christmas Eve comes and the card still does not arrive, Orange Blossom starts to cry, feeling like her sister doesn't care anymore and forgot about her. Postmaster Bumblebee comforts her, reminding her mistakes happen and something can get overlooked, but to remember about all the people who love her, that presents and cards are nothing compared to the love of friends who care. I won't ruin the ending, but it ends up pretty sweet. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Afterthoughts:</span> Honestly, reading the comic makes me sad that there are aspects about the new series that you all don't like, because the same elements that got me into the series are there and strong. The sweet morals, the kind friends, and the cute colour. I really love the art, and it really made me excited to get the next issue as soon as I could. As time goes on, you really start feeling that every girl is different, you start noticing all the subtle differences between them and I feel like the comics could be an avenue of introduction to the series that people who dislike CGI could get into. I only wish there was more than 4 planned. <br />
<br />

In the Sour Truth, Katie and Sadie Bug (the bugs look really cute), hear about the story of a wonderful postman who was honest and reliable, and gained a big reputation for being honest even.

<br />
This was a better main story then the Pineapple Predicament, even if the stories were predictable as always. That's something that's always been true with almost all stories to me though, and it was still intriguing enough to read. <br />

Strawberry Shortcake needs a little help keeping up with the demand that Valentines day will bring, giving away a free treat to everyone who comes.

<br />
Raspberry Torte surprises her friends with beautiful dresses, (especially Strawberry's. I am in love with her dress, I wish I had a scanner so bad right now.), She leaves the clothes with Strawberry for a night while she thinks about how to make them perfect, having trouble being inspired. Strawberry vows to take great care of them, but when a blender goes out of control, all the beauty dresses become stained with rainbow berry juice! They try to get them out, but have a ton of trouble and only make them a little worse. Worried that Raspberry Torte will be mad, they realize they can't hide it from her anymore and have to tell her.<br />
<br />
Raspberry walks in the shop, sad that she was unable to find the inspiration in time for Fashion Forward, her own little fashion show.  She has a bunch of accessories, and is wearing a hat that looks a LOT like the original Strawberry Shortcake's hat, which I thought was a cute little nod. Raspberry seems down at first, but is happy that the girls were honest. However, after getting a good look she finds the unplanned splash of colour new and exciting, perfect in their own way. Friendship is the greatest inspiration of all.<br />

<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Afterthoughts</span> I liked this comic better than the last one, the art was slightly cuter, the stories were really cute and there was a little more of a wait for them.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[So, I mentioned a while back to people who remember that I was getting the Strawberry Shortcake comic books as soon as I could. Well, I have two issues now so I thought I should give them some review, let people know what I think. <br />
<br />
Starting with <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Strawberry Shortcake, Berry Fun, Volume 1. </span><br />
<br />
The first story is the <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Pineapple predicament</span>, the main story of the comic. Each comic seems to come with one major story and two minor ones. It was written by Georgia Ball, the Art was done by Tanya Roberts and the Colors by Amy Mebberson. In the side stories, the art AND colors are done by Amy Mebberson and it just seems a tad prettier, but that's just a personal opinion. The art is colourful and vibrant. <br />
<br />
In the Pineapple Predictament, Strawberry is delivered some Pineapples instead of the regular apples she had actually ordered. After comforting the upset postal worker, who was beating himself up for the mistake, Strawberry gets in her mind to find recipes to use the Pineapples on for her cafe. After borrowing a book about Luau Island which contains some recipes for pineapples from her good friend Blueberry Muffin, she talks to Custard about how lovely Luau Island looks in the pictures. Jadie Bug over hears her talking about it and makes the assumption that she must be taking a trip there, and starts to spread the rumor around Berry Bitty City. <br />
<br />
Soon enough, all of her friends think she is going and that she was just keeping it a surprise, and try to help her out and give her the best trip she could get. They are very sweet and try not to let on that they know, and still try to give her things they think will be helpful. This causes a chain of silly situations where Strawberry comes for one thing and comes out with something very different. <br />
<br />
At the end, they feel like they haven't done enough to get her ready for her trip and so surprise her with a gift basket, only to find out that she isn't going at all. It's important to check your facts before you go believing rumors, and the moral here good. Luckily, Strawberry has a plan on what to do with everything.. <img src="https://www.strawberryforum.org/board/images/smilies/wink.png" alt="Wink" title="Wink" class="smilie smilie_2" /> <br />
<br />
There was some definitely cute moments along it, though reading it I feel like sentences like..<br />
<br />
"Respberry Torte may know about trends but that fashion statement is too wild for me!" <br />
<br />
and <br />
<br />
"That was strange, Lemon always has great beauty advice, make I <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">should</span> get some sun!" would suddenly send warning bells in the minds of the people who are overly sensitive to the "girly-er" aspects of the new Strawberry. <br />
<br />
Which is a shame.<br />
<br />
The second story is the <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Blueberry Flu</span>.<br />
<br />
It's a cute little story about Strawberry getting sick, but her friends are there to support her work in the cafe, and realize the kind of work that Strawberry does everyday! <br />
<br />
The third story is the "cutest" of the bunch, the one with a sweetest message. <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Special Delivery</span><br />
<br />
It's holiday time and Orange Blossom is really excited to receive her usual holiday card from her big sister. She comes to the post office everyday looking for the card, only to be sad when it doesn't arrive. When Christmas Eve comes and the card still does not arrive, Orange Blossom starts to cry, feeling like her sister doesn't care anymore and forgot about her. Postmaster Bumblebee comforts her, reminding her mistakes happen and something can get overlooked, but to remember about all the people who love her, that presents and cards are nothing compared to the love of friends who care. I won't ruin the ending, but it ends up pretty sweet. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Afterthoughts:</span> Honestly, reading the comic makes me sad that there are aspects about the new series that you all don't like, because the same elements that got me into the series are there and strong. The sweet morals, the kind friends, and the cute colour. I really love the art, and it really made me excited to get the next issue as soon as I could. As time goes on, you really start feeling that every girl is different, you start noticing all the subtle differences between them and I feel like the comics could be an avenue of introduction to the series that people who dislike CGI could get into. I only wish there was more than 4 planned. <br />
<br />
Also, I wish we knew the name of Orange's sister! She looks like she would be named Orange Blossom too, there is no hint in her appearence. Dx <br />

<br />
She'll join Strawberry's cast of friends this autumn.  My initial thoughts:  "So <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">now</span> you finally make a Strawberryland kid who looks like I did!  Well, close enough.  Black-blue hair falls into Shiny Midnight Black<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">*</span>.  I'd definitely had dressed like that if I could have, too."  <br />
<br />
Ah well, she's cute and she'll have cute dolls even though I'm not keen on the current show.<br />
