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 thought people base off their friendships with personality... not intelligence. Seems like you might be one of the odd ones out!

Isn't intellect a part of one's personality?

Well, I have some friends that I got to know better at the start because they weren't the brightest in class. So I would spend some of my time to help them understand, this in then turns into a friendship... befriending one with the same intellect is not always the case. Maybe it would seem that way to older people who've been working, so they befriend others in the workplace, and they are usually of the same intellect and have similar abilities in their skill sets.

Honestly this shouldn't even need to happen. Why is it BLUE raspberry?

I believe that raspberry was made blue to avoid confusing raspberry and either cherry or strawberry while eating mixed candies.

Blue raspberry flavoring actually stems from the white bark raspberry.

Probably the sane reason as "green apple", except green apples actually exist

Blue raspberry does have a bit of a different taste than regular raspberry

Just look at it this way: dumb friends can be entertaining.

Everyone has a right to be stupid, but it seems like your friend abuses that privilege.

I'm impressed you stuck it out for the entire explanation. I wouldn't be given up halfway through.

I guess your friend was a little BLUE when they found out that berry wasn't even real. I'll leave now...

Dude, I read a history of candy, that covered the explosion of blue raspberry flavor in the industry, and they didn't even mention that. Thanks!

#15 What semantics? There is actually a blue raspberry that the flavor is based on. Yes, they make it a ridiculous blue but so is most candy.

Today, I struck out with two potential girlfriends, and then found out Jason David Frank died. I grew up with Power Rangers. Both types of heartbreak on one day. FML

Today, I ate an apple. It was good. It was red. inside was not red. red is cool. cool things are red. I like pizza. pizza is good. pizza has the letter Z in it. Z is a cool letter. I like Z. I wonder why zzz means sleeping. Sleeping has an S and not a Z. I like winning. Winning is good. Losing is bad. Bad is not good. FML

Today, in the middle of sex, my girlfriend felt the need to ask me if I could get my ladder and clean the ceiling, because it looked dusty with a spiderweb in the corner. I didn’t realise I was so boring in bed that she had the time to examine the ceiling and plan my chore list. FML
