Today, I had to explain to my friend that a blue raspberry is not a blackberry, and that blue raspberry is an artificial flavor, not a fruit. This explanation took much longer than it should have. FML

You do realize that the artificial flavor is based of the whitebark raspberry which is also known as the blue raspberry? Just like the artificial banana flavoring is based off the Gros Michel banana not the cavendish that we eat today. In other words, you're both wrong.

I was very confused by this fml, because in my grandpa's yard something grows that looks like a blue raspberry. I had to translate the words we use for then to make sure that you are wrong. I have eaten them.

I always wondered why there was a blue raspberry flavor. It didn't make any sense.

did you really "have to" explain it though. Probably not

I feel like Blue Raspberry's individuality got shafted when it came to being named... "I am more than a raspberry that happens to be blue!"

pretty normal and not really worth posting to be honest

There are black raspberries that look similar to black berries. Perhaps that is where your friend was confused.

I have a friend that thought blue raspberry was the same thing as blueberry. like every time she referred to blue raspberry jolly ranchers or jello or whatever else is that flavor, she always called it blueberry. when I tried to correct her she claimed that it was literally the same thing, and I could not convince her otherwise. at least your friend's logic makes a little more sense.

He probably confused it with a blueberry.

1. Stop hanging out with idiots. 2. If you insist on hanging out with idiots, just smile and laugh inside. Idiots will always complain in the end that you always talk to them like idiots when really you are just explaining things for their benefit.
