Question

Is there really a "Blue Raspberry"? Or did someone just make it up? Where did it come from?

Answer 1

Its a made up flavor.. I think they needed a flavor for blue colored candy and such.

Answer 2

Blue raspberries are from Narnia.

Answer 3

No, it's artificial flavoring:

blue raspberry is a common flavor for syrups, candies, and other food items.

The artificial blue raspberry flavor, originally derived from blue white bark raspberry fruit juice, became an artificial designer product in the late 1950s.[citation needed] The flavor is described as somewhere between tangy and sour. It is often accompanied with blue food coloring; the coloring of blue raspberry also helps it to be differentiated from strawberry flavored drinks. The use of food coloring often dyes the mouth blue temporarily.

Artificial blue raspberry flavoring has been added to many products, such as: Charms Blow-pops, Go-Gurt, ICEE, Dum Dum Pop, Jolly Ranchers, Blue Brainwash, Wild Berry Skittles and Hubba Bubba. The flavor goes by other names, such as "razzberry" and Gatorade's "Cool Blue".
