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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went on a date with a very cute girl. It went well, until I accidentally called the blueberries in her dessert Oran Berries. I sheepishly explained that they're a berry from the Pokémon universe, at which point she excused herself, never to return. FML
Today, my brother and I had a long argument. He believes wholeheartedly that pineapples are not actually fruits, but berries. When I showed him a google search, he accused me of "faking" it. FML
Today, without even trying, I convinced my 17-year-old daughter that blueberries are just peas holding their breath. I have raised a complete airhead. FML
Today, I had to explain to my friend that the world did not used to be black and white. It was just the pictures that were. She still doesn't believe me. She's eighteen. FML
Today, I ended up in the hospital by accidentally eating poisonous berries, from a plant that I've known since childhood to be poisonous, which I also recognized as belonging to the nightshade family. I still don’t understand what made them look tasty. Brain fart of the century, I guess. FML
Today, a customer yelled at me because the cherry pie he bought had cherries in it, and he wanted a refund. FML
Today, I thought it would be fun to tint my hair. An hour later, I resemble a blueberry and it looks like a Smurf exploded in my bathroom. FML
Today, I went on a date with the world's biggest lightweight. She got blind drunk on wine before dessert, and slurred, "You look like... like a black... blueberry." Amused, I said, "You mean a blackberry?" She stared at me for several long seconds, confused, then passed out. Check please. FML
Today, I was talking to my grandma and I mentioned the fact that tomatoes are technically fruit. It's been an hour and she's still yelling, accusing me of lying to her. FML
Today, some friends and I had a wine tasting evening, and I tried to impress my friends by showing off my extensive knowledge of different wines. I confidently described the subtle "notes of vanilla and oak" in a bottle of wine… only to find out that my "friends" had pranked me, and it was actually grape juice. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.
