The Wild and Weird Flavor Known as Blue Raspberry

We all know that blue is not a natural color for food. The exception that proves the rule is blueberries, which have a delicate flavor that belies their dark and dramatic color and doesn't factor into junk food much at all. When we see bright blue candy or blue syrup, that's coded in our heads as raspberry flavor. Or more specifically, artificial raspberry flavor, which is actually pretty good even when it falls short of the real thing. Yeah, yeah, raspberries are red, except when they are black, or white, so how did that flavor become blue? I thought it was just a color assignment because red was already in use for cherry flavoring, but it's a lot more complicated than that. Blue raspberry is its own flavor, even though its artificial. Tom Blank of Weird History Food is glad to share the story of blue raspberry flavoring with us.

I french and I speak english fluently but this... I have trouble understanding partly because of his accent and partly because the audio is not perfect ( Annoying music in the background ).

To me this sounded like the rambling of an old man who try to answer a question that can't have an answer.

Is there a transcript of what he's saying somehwere?

I wouldn't call Jung "the father" of modern psychoanalytical theory in any regard, but his ideas on archetypes do hugely contribute to that area of psychology.
