what does a blue raspberry taste like

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Artificial sweetener

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Also:

The flavor does not derive from any species of raspberry, but rather was developed using esters that are part of the flavor profile of pineapple, banana and cherry. Sugar is commonly added to create taste appeal for the blue raspberry flavor.

Sour like a raspberry, but more blue

this reminds me of one of my "cowboy phrases"

Im from Texas but I live somewhere else now. My employees laugh at some things I thought were common phrases.

Anyway ...

Person: I wish/wanted/hoped (blank)

Me: yeah, and I wish frogs had wings so they didn't have to bump their ass on the ground when they hopped. Life is full of little disappointments.

In case you're curious for a couple more cowboy phrases.

Person: are you sure this was (the most likely cause)

Me: the bright star is always Venus. Is that bright star Venus? Probably, we can find out, it's a waste of time tho because it'll be venus. It's always Venus.

Last example: "I see" said the blind man as he pissed into the wind "it's all coming back to me now"

My dad always said: "I see" said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

That's the original phrase yes.

You're from very eloquent part of Texas

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Want to hear another one that isn't Texan, I think it's just me?

When someone is hurrying me or being impatient I'll say

"Chill Vladimir, don't be Russian"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Oh that's a good one, stolen.

I've never seen one of these in San Jose.

Someone should make a blue raspberry lemonade gummy shaped like this guy.
