That's... Not blueberries

It would make more sense if the strawberry flavour was raspberry, so they just cheaped out and recoloured the raspberries blue. But no, the strawberry flavour has strawberries on the packaging, grapes for grapes, but recolouring raspberries blue would be more work than just using an image of actual blueberries.

Make it make sense! ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Was it Blue Raspberry flavour by any chance? Blue raspberry is an artificial flavour made up from a few others.

That was my first thought, but reconstructing the packaging it is definitely 'blueberry' flavour!

Ah, I see zappo make both a blueberry and a blue raspberry flavoured lolly. I'm not familiar with the brand but Elder Minipeeler loves sour lollies of all types. I can't handle them lol
