Why does the color blue mean raspberry-flavored?
The color blue means raspberry-flavored because when I first heard BB King sing "Thrill is Gone" live in concert my girlfriend was eating a blue raspberry jolly rancher and I gave her a big smooch for getting us the tickets for my Valentine's Day gift.
