Do raspberries not taste like raspberries?

What product has "blue raspberry"?

I can only think of one raspberry product I buy, and it doesn't have any dye, and is deep red colored (from the raspberries)

Blue raspberry is a standard slushie colour the world over, in my experience.

[riffraff → Reason077]

Never seen it as a slushie in Italy but we do have azure ice cream. It used to be called "puffo" (=Smurf) but smurfs aren't popular anymore, so now they usually sell it as "marshmallow" or "cotton candy".

But it tastes nothing like raspberry?

>But it tastes nothing like raspberry?

It's not like most ice-cream flavors taste anything like the real thing...

Especially in the US (not Italian artisanal gelato)

In the U.K. I remember it being a novelty flavour for a brief period in the 90s.

I’ve not seen or heard of the idea since then, although this may reflect my own consumer preferences.

Surely no visit to a UK chain cinema (Odeon/Vue) in summer is complete without a refreshing and sugar-free Tango Ice Blast?! It's the "UK’S N0.1 FROZEN DRINK BRAND", according to their own marketing.

And the two original, traditional flavours of Tango Ice Blast are Red (Cherry) and Blue (Raspberry).

In fact, I can't remember ever seeing any other flavours, although according to their website there are others:

I have never seen this product or heard the term "blue raspberry" in my life, so probably not around the world.

Blue raspberry is a candy only flavor. It doesn't really taste like raspberry. Its pretty common as a flavor in the us at least, it's one of my favorite candy flavors.

[PolygonSheep → thatguy0900]

If you eat a bowl of mixed blueberries and raspberries, it actually does taste like blue raspberry. It's a mixture of the two flavors.

[tuukkah → PolygonSheep]

Also known as the flavor of Queen's jam (from Sweden), which looks nicer as instead of blueberries, it uses bilberries (whose flesh is deep red).

You're thinking of snozzberries.

[snoman → anigbrowl]

I have it on good authority that the snozzberries taste like snozzberries.

You need to be squeezed. Off to the juicing room you go!

Berry Blue Jell-o[0].

There are a bunch of others as well, but that's the first one that came to mind.

I guess you're one of today's 10,000: https://xkcd.com/1053/

I feel like you might run into it at a carnival or theme park. It's found in things like candy, Kona ice, extremely artificially flavored drinks, etc. Junk food.
