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.
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.

can someone explain pls?
Tldr Blue Razz in Europe and USA taste different. Americans use an artifical blend, Europe doesn’t.
yeah, i got that at least. What’s up with it in America tho?
Poor food regulations and corn syrup.
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.
Never heard of blue razz in the US.
Are you sure you have never had a blue Jolly Rancher or blue 7/11 slushie?
Maybe when I was a kid I suppose.
They’re called a “Slurpee“ at 7-11
It’s literally every “blue” flavoured food in the US. ;)
But suspiciously, not blue Gatorade
They do, it is called ‘cool blue’

Currently munching on these in the UK. The natural flavour is the European version. The US version is sweeter.
Interesting! I haven’t been to GB in quite some years, so I might just have seen them and not remembered. Does it taste like raspberry?
Sort of, more like a blackberry mixed with Ribena. Check out the plant: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubus_caesius

They’re great!! ( ＾▽＾)
I love that you brutally ripped open with the opposite corner just to show the directions that you are the boss.
I don’t like listening to corporate lmao.
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.
Haha, I don’t know but awesome if true.
well you could look at the ingredients
Do you know the name of the ingredient or have a link? :)

The ingredients will say “spirulina”.
Yes! It contains that. That is super cool. Thanks for the link. It’s the 3rd to last ingredient.
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.
A bit like blackberry.
I was drinking some blue raspberry flavored sparkling ‘water’ while reading this and… holy shit it is banana pineapple and cherry. O_O
