| Introduction | I grew up on a farm, graduated in a very small class, went to a Catholic college, and then moved to the big city to work for The Man. It has its good days and its bad, and it beats living in a van down by the river. I got married to my wonderful husband in October 2002, and we now have an adorable daughter who was born in July 2005. |

Why does the color blue mean raspberry-flavored?
It's purely a marketing gimmick. Kids love blue food, and since it doesn't occur in nature, some genius came up with the concept of "blue raspberry." You can bet that guy is laughing his butt off on his own private island in the Caribbean, too.
