#1277 – Tasty

I don’t remember now what novelty food item it was that I first discovered blue raspberry in but it definitely caught my attention. It had never occurred to me that modern processed flavors were mainly a separate ingredient from what was used to give it color. I’m guessing that cherry and strawberry has the market cornered on red colored items and that blueberry was just never very popular with the sugar water consumer. What should we do with all this blue food dye then?

Today’s Maximumble is refreshing.

    I hate Blue Raspberry. There were these Sonic the Hedgehog Popsicles I would always get. They were gross, but I loved Sonic that much.

    Huh. I *knew* that flavor was Not Of This Earth. Nothing terrestrial could taste quite like that.

    Do some research, naysayers. Blue Raspberry is a real thing, I’ve actually got a pretty big patch of them growing near where I live. They start off red, then turn a dark, dark, blue when they ripen. They’re native to Western North America.

    I’d have to agree that blue raspberry does taste like Uranus. A loathsome flavor indeed!

    For the longest time my grandmother had a “blue raspberry tree” in her back yard and a bush in the front. No clue as to how she got the darn thing to join with a tree in the first place, but they were delicious. Also, after typing all that, I realize how annoyingly it could be interpreted.

    I’m okay with blue raspberry. The vitamin gummies I take use that flavor.

    @Tylendal;
    They may be real, but I’ll bet you that outside your local area, none of the real thing makes it into any commercial product.
