If the Mane Seven were the mascots for a fast food franchise, how would a typical commercial go?

A restaurant named Ponyville Burgers opened in 1972.

By 1982, it was a massively successful chain, rivaling McDonald's and Burger King. Their mascot was an unnamed white unicorn with wings and a multicolored mane.

In 1985, the company replaced her with seven little ponies (Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Starlight) and their little dragon friend (Spike).

These ponies are the mascots for the company, appearing in tv spots, in magazine ads, on signs and on the bags/cups/boxes from the chain.

One commercial in 1996 brings back the old mascot, names her Princess Celestia and makes her the ruler of "Equestria", where the ponies live, as a cute little shout-out.

These characters became very popular, and they remained popular all the way to the present: Unlike many other mascots, they are still a thing, continuing to be popular.

They have gone through many voice actors, and they are currently voiced by Tara Strong, Ashleigh Ball, Cathy Weseluck, Andrea Libman, Kelly Sheridan and Tabitha St. Germain.

They were drawn in a very florid, Rainbow Brite-style animation from 1985-1991.

Then, their design changed to be more Disney-like from 1992-2009.

Finally, they had their current design from 2010-today.

Their personalities have also changed slightly, but they are still recognizable as the same characters, so nothing too drastic.

It has never been brought up that the commercials follow vegetarian creatures advertising a restaurant that sells beef/pork/chicken/turkey/fish burgers, although viewers have made the connection, and it has been a joke in pop culture for over 30 years.

Fan fiction about these characters are unexpectedly popular, leading to a mostly-consistent "fanon", mostly inspired by throwaway lines and images from the commercials: The fan-created character of Princess Luna was inspired by a throwaway line from Princess Celestia in a Halloween commercial from 1998, for example.

Describe how an average commercial from 2017 might go, advertising a new value meal or an addition to the menu or something.

Bonus Rounds

1. Describe how a 2:30 long Super Bowl commercial would go.

2. Ponyville Burgers has a marketing tie-in with Guardians Of The Galaxy 3, causing the franchise to craft a series of ads in which the ponies meet the Guardians. How would one of these commercials go?

3. How would a commercial from the characters' early days in the 1980s go?
