Matt! I think these two facts might interest you! 1. In Brazil, blue raspberry is actually denominated “tutti-frutti” as the packaging states it actually is a mash of different fruit flavours, like you found! 2. I think it would be interesting to do a video on how the UK has no grape flavored things; all sweets, juices alike Capri-Suns, and popsicles/ice lollies are Blackcurrant flavoured! To the point in which my British friends were absolutely baffled by the notion of “grape candies” elsewhere in the world!

Yes, I live in the UK and after living in Japan for a long while, this fact came as a shock to me. A very small amount of things are still “grape-flavoured,” but these are only flavours among other flavours in a mix packet designed for another country, e.g. some Skittles imported directly from the USA still have grape, but nothing has “grape” as the primary flavour on the front of the packaging, displayed vibrantly.

Haven’t finished watching this yet, but my cousin who runs a confectionery explained it to me this way. Raspberry was one of the first flavors to be made synthetically, and the chemicals used at the time when mixed happened to be blue, and since it was still new and there wasn’t a set naming pattern, they used the color and flavor to name it, hence blue raspberry. Today most synthetic flavors are mixed clear and have the dyes added after

My wife and I found out a fruit combination that matches pretty closely to the flavor we usually assume to be "blue raspberry." And it's honestly a pretty literal interpretation! Just take a blueberry, stuff inside a red raspberry, and dip the whole thing in sugar for a single bite. She'll make a platter of them for parties and they're always a huge hit. Give it a try! It's crazy how close it gets in flavor profile to the fake Blue Razz flavor that's so popular now.

As a Swiss person I've never seen "blue rasperry" as a flavour. Sure there were the gummy worms with their blue colour, but that was always a synthetic flavour to me. I never thought about them tasting like raspberry. Especially since there are fruit flavoured syrups, that are probably made from the fruit they taste of (they taste exactly like the fruit, because are more expensive than the chap ones). I'd never buy such artificial stuff, why should I? I prefer savoury off-cuts like legs, pig snout, pig ears, ox tail, organ meat anyway. I make a stew out of them, that tastes amazing.

The relationship between flavors and colors varies a lot between countries. For example, in Japan, green items are usually Melon flavored (not sour apple or lime). And Blue items are usually "Soda" or "Cider" flavor. This is a hard flavor to describe, but it's a very artifical candy-like flavor, similar to some cotton candy or, yes, some cheap soda. Purple is usually grape and yellow is usually Lemon, but red can be almost anything, with cherry, strawberry and others (Fruit punch, apple, etc.). All in all, if you moved to Japan and chose junk foods based on color, you'd frequently be surprised.

I honestly always just assumed raspberry flavours were blue to differentiate it from strawberry. If you get handed a red sweet its usually always strawberry, so having a slightly different shade of red for raspberry would be confusing. Heck in the UK we have a brand of jelly babies called bassets and they dont use the blue for raspberry and yes, most of the time you dont know what flavour you're getting if you pick out red/pink lol.

@Joan because the pink for watermelon is very pink as a good signifier, and cherry and strawberry candies taste similar enough for there not to need a distinction, but raspberries are such a sharp change from cherries/strawberries and watermelon that it would need a distinction

Interesting that the butterfly you used to talk about rare blue pigments don't actually contain blue pigments. It, along with a lot of blue in nature, specially in insects, are a fruit of special crystal structures that traps other colors and reflect only blue, but are not pigments in a way that they aren't a molecule that have the property of reflectig blue. Btw, I see those butterflies all the time where I live and they are gorgeous.

This is very true. There is a remarkably small amount of blue pigment in nature, which is why semi precious stones like lapiz lazuli were used for (expensive) paintings. There were some available blue pigments derived from industry (like smalt) but they were not very blue at all. All the blue pigments we use today are relatively modern. Blue seems to be a troublesome colour in general, as blue LEDs weren't invented until the 90s.

The best thing for me in your channels is that I can see how much US culture differs from mine. Im not from USA and I have never heard of blue raspberry, but it seems from the way you speak about it like it is a normal thing in USA. Also where I live (Poland) the relations between colors and flavors is also way different: blue is blueberry, raspberry is pink, strawberry and watermelon both are red, grape is super rare to find as a flavor of anything, and if something is green its more likely to be lime than sour apple, and this is crazy how things that you thought were super natural and intuitive are actually very different on other places.

@WynneL Жыл бұрын

Blue raspberry, whether sweet or sour, is wonderful. I couldn't believe it when I got to Europe and saw nothing blue raspberry anywhere. I was so happy to see an Expat store that carries the stuff, but it's full of sugar so I'm going to just try and make blue raspberry drinks with the flavor profile this video displayed. I'd really prefer lime to sour apple, though. Lime is awesome and underrated.

When you’re pointing out natural blue pigments in the beginning of the video, one of the examples you used was the Blue Morpho Butterfly.

The Gros Michel Bananas were mostly wiped out though with the Panama disease, and the Cavendish took place as the most spread, with a duller taste. It’s unable to spread naturally though, and the bananas most of us eat today are essentially clones. In short, the artificial Banana Flavor is mimicing the taste of the Gros Michel Banana, which explains why it doesn’t taste the same as the bananas we eat today (the Cavendish)
