| Introduction | I'm pretty random, one day my mother walked up to me and asked if I had ADHD...I think that she was serious. I like bright colors and shiny things, so sue me! I grew up in various small towns in Western New York enjoying farm fresh produce, and the luxury of everyone knowing my family, if not me in particular. When I was young my greatest ambition was to be a mermaid...or a genie, because then I could shape shift into a mermaid on top of having phenomenal cosmic powers. I believe this dream arose due to my addiction to Disney movies...I'm still addicted. Conversely I love almost everything Tim Burton puts on screen, and almost every musical from the 50's...no I have not seen all of them, but the costumes and sets blow my mind! I went to art school for college, because it seemed like the thing to do, it combined all the loves of my life, colors, unnatural hair colors, and learning. Now I'm figuring out what I want to do, and which roads I should follow, it's a good life, but I sure could use a Tom-Tom. |

Why does the color blue mean raspberry-flavored?
The sugar wizard who invented the now famous "blue raspberry" flavor was tired of his wife stealing all of his red raspberry candies, so he dyed them all blue, because in nature the color blue often denotes poison...he utilized her preconceived notions of the color blue in food to secure more raspberry flavored sugar for himself! AND the idea caught on.
