Blue raspberry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blue raspberry is a common flavor for syrups, candies, and other food items.

The artificial blue raspberry flavor, originally derived from blue whitebark raspberry fruit juice, became an artificial designer product in the late 1950s. The flavor is described as somewhere between tangy and sour.^{[citation needed]} It is often accompanied with blue food coloring; the coloring of blue raspberry also helps it to be differentiated from strawberry flavored drinks.

Artificial blue raspberry flavoring has been added to many products, such as: Charms Blowpops, Go-Gurt, ICEE, Dum Dum Pop, Jolly Ranchers, Blue Brainwash, Wild Berry Skittles and Hubba Bubba. The flavor goes by other names, such as "razzberry" and Gatorade's "Cool Blue".
