I'm more concerned about how the flavor is blue... raspberry for some reason, I guess berry wasn't good enough.... aaand it's greenish?

Blue raspberry has been a thing since I was a youngster, and I'm 42

'Blue raspberry' is a distinct flavor, thats taste is kind of a mix between raspberry and blackberry/blueberry. It's a somewhat common flavor for blue candy in North America. Jolly Ranchers for example.

Raspberries are red, but so are strawberries and cherries, so I've heard they just needed to differentiate it from all the other red fruit so they made it blue raspberry.
