Random Question - Raspberry Flavoring

Blogger has offered up a random profile question, but only allows 400 characters with which to respond. This is highly insufficient for any sort of intelligible prose. I wonder if the functionality was designed with the sheeple in mind?

The questioned proffered today was:
"Why does the color blue indicate something is raspberry-flavored?"

My thoughts:
Because education standards in the United States are, frankly, dismal. Far too many American children have never seen a fresh raspberry, let alone a farm. Rightly, the color blue ought to indicate that a fruity treat is blueberry or serviceberry flavored. Or possibly that it's unnatural, full of the chemically processed artificial sweetener high-fructose corn syrup, and ought not to be ingested.

Please feel free to add your own conjecture to the comments section of this post.

Day 4

The sheeple played Duck, Duck, Goose today and didn't let me join them. The ducks confided in me that they find the game to be disgustingly anti-Anas Platyrhynchos. I fear they may be correct. At the least, the game mocks the seriousness of the Anas-Branta war of 1193 with remarkable callousness.

Perhaps it is best that I was not invited. I may now be able to count the ducks amongst my allies.
