can someone explain pls?
Tldr Blue Razz in Europe and USA are different.
I’ve been to over 20 European countries and I have never seen anything blue raspberry flavoured. I assumed it was an American thing and that it was just raspberry flavoured things that were also dyed blue.

Currently munching on these in the UK.
I love that you brutally ripped open with the opposite corner just to show the directions that you are the boss.
Interesting! I haven’t been to GB in quite some years, so I might just have seen them and not remembered.
Is this the new blue natural food colouring made with cyanobacteria poop?
Cause I’m pretty sure they don’t allow artificial blue in UK anymore.
yeah, i got that at least. What’s up with it in America tho?
Poor food regulations and corn syrup.
What’s up is that food companies would feed you sawdust and poison if it was cheaper and if they could get away with it.
So what does blue raspberry actually taste like over there? Because the name seems pretty apt here in the US; it tastes like extra sour raspberry.
A bit like blackberry.
Never heard of blue razz in the US.
Are you sure you have never had a blue Jolly Rancher or blue 7/11 slushie?
They’re called a “Slurpee“ at 7-11
Maybe when I was a kid I suppose.
It’s literally every “blue” flavoured food in the US. ;)
But suspiciously, not blue Gatorade
