Food and Drink Does Anyone Prefer "Blue" Flavored Snacks?

I was grabbing a Popsicle out of the freezer just now, digging through the many remaining "blue" flavored ones to get to the orange or strawberry left over. This seems to happen every time I buy a bag of snacks. Especially frozen ones. We have our favorites but they all taste really good. Except the blue ones

Now, I don't mean purple. Purple is grape. Grape is a great flavor. I'm talking about the "blue" flavor. They call it "berry" or blueberry or Zesty Sparkly Super Blue Razz or some such bullshit. The names change but it seems like every fruity snack product has to have one. It's not that they are so horrible. They typically do get eaten. But they just don't taste as good as the others. Kind of a funky flavor.

Is this just me and my family? Does the "blue" flavor satisfy a demographic? Or is it just added so they can fluff up the number of flavors offered? Does anyone actually prefer the "blue" flavor?
