  I’ve been to over 20 European countries and I have never seen anything blue raspberry flavoured. I assumed it was an American thing and that it was just raspberry flavoured things that were also dyed blue.

      I love that you brutally ripped open with the opposite corner just to show the directions that you are the boss.

      Interesting! I haven’t been to GB in quite some years, so I might just have seen them and not remembered.

        Sort of, more like a blackberry mixed with Ribena. Check out the plant: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubus_caesius

        Rubus caesius is a Eurasian species of dewberry, known as the European dewberry.[2] Like other dewberries, it is a species of flowering plant in the rose family, related to the blackberry and raspberry. It is widely distributed across much of Eurasia.

      Is this the new blue natural food colouring made with cyanobacteria poop?

      Cause I’m pretty sure they don’t allow artificial blue in UK anymore.

    What’s up is that food companies would feed you sawdust and poison if it was cheaper and if they could get away with it.

  So what does blue raspberry actually taste like over there? Because the name seems pretty apt here in the US; it tastes like extra sour raspberry.
