We don't have any of those brands around here.
Columbus's grocery market is pretty much dominated by Kroger. Their only real competitor here was Big Bear, and they went out of business in 2004. We also have Giant Eagle and Aldi, but neither of those pose much of a threat to Big K.
There's also the stores that aren't grocery stores but also sell groceries, like Wal-Mart, Target, etc., but those don't have nearly the coverage that Kroger does.

I think the main reason Kroger dominates in Columbus is their coverage. It's hard to find a neighborhood in Columbus that doesn't have a Kroger store nearby, and with Big Bear out of the picture some neighborhoods have been served exclusively by a Kroger.
Brand recognition is probably a factor too; Kroger is a huge corporation but they started here in Ohio and have over a century of recognition with that name, whereas Giant Eagle and the like didn't start popping up around here until 20 years ago or so.

Well, when you visit Bunny in Michigan I'll go up there and kidnap the two of you and drag you to the nearest Kroger. How's that plan?

That's an old traffic light that's been converted to a red flasher, but because they put the red in the middle lens my mind is telling me I'm seeing a yellow light that happens to be a bit orangish.
You'd have officially gone daffy in the case that that would happen, Squid.
ANYWAY
McDonald's seems to like Pinkie the most of the mane six. She shows up twice on the Happy Meal box this month (driving the Friendship Train, for that matter) and my sister got a toy of her.
I do agree with CA though, the little nubby thing on top of her head is weird.
Tvtropes isn't that hostile. I think people take for granted how nice tvt (compared to other fora) is and then get even more angry when they see hostility. But everyone there liked you, squid, you have no reason to be embarrassed. I mean, even I don't want the Heap deleted, and I had some genuinely embarrassing moments there. And every thread, for that matter.

[Editor's note: Nobody actually calls Kroger "Big K"]
