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.

Blue raspberry exists because adding raspberry flavor to the standard flavor mix would result in too many reds...so they invented the blue thing.

I was so heartbroken when I first learned a blue raspberry didn't exist. I became a biomedical engineer so I could get into genetics and make it happen.

You should have taken more botany courses. Blue Raspeberries do exist....

I'm more interested in why you "had" to explain the difference between blue raspberry flavor and blackberries. There aren't many situations in which that seems imperative. Unless… no, he couldn't be applying for a job in Willy Wonka's factory, could he?! Damn.

Why do you always need to comment and criticize FML's

Because commenting in the comments section, as odd as it may seem, works sooo much better than carrier pigeon.

@28 The comment section is here for people to leave their opinions. You're basically asking why he uses the comment section for its intended purpose.

The flavor originates from Rubus leucodermis, more commonly known as the "whitebark raspberry" or "blue raspberry" for the blue-black color of its fruit. Blue Raspberry is a real berry.

It amazes me the amount of people that are entirely unaware that blue raspberries are in fact a real fruit. So honestly you both deserve it for neither of you knowing what google is.
