Glottis Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Answer me this: does this picture look familiar? (hint: pretend you can only see in black and white)[url="http://imageshack.us"][img]http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/1791/848big9um.jpg[/img][/url]Also, they call blackberries "black berries" as well. Some kind of language barrier, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web250 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 A lot of American drinks and kids foods have "Blue Rasberry" flavors.Maybe that's it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glottis Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I guess that fits, since the cover is raspberries that they colored blue. However, such a fruit still doesn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEO_WRX Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 i think it's just a matter of saving money on advertising. It's much easier to take a berry from an existing label and color it blue than design and print a brand new one that has an actual blue berry on it.

DownZero Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I would have to agree or well assume along w/ NEO_WRX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this flavor was just an afterthought, or perhaps all the blueberries they could find to photograph were nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteHookah.com Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Haha... hilarious. Which does it taste like? Mutant raspberries or blueberries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 ive always wondered why raspberry became a blue flavor. i mean orange is orange, apple is green, cherry is red, grapes are purple, and raspberries are... sounds like crystal meth strikes again.

The Dude Abides Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 Yeah, they seem to have had no problem finding correct pictures for their other 2 million flavors. Seems like there's an advantage to presenting a product properly that outweighs an advantage in terms of cost-saving picture reuse. But again, maybe this flavor isn't Blueberry, but is in fact, just some kind of blue berry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 thats what im thinking. maybe the tobacco is blue??? i mean why else would you call it that. OR maybe al amir has never seen a blueberry. do they have them in the middle east? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glottis Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Haha, that's my favorite theory."People keep asking us to make a blueberry flavor.""What the hell is that?""I dunno, just color some raspberries blue" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 This thread made me realize I should try mixing Tangiers Blueberry and Raspberry.... Ok, so tonight's smoke is decided... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 God I love blueberry flavors. Tangiers nailed it on the nose in terms of accuracy. I might have to pick up a tub of this mutant flavor next time I have a chance. I could care less what the picture looks like, as long as I get my blueberrys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Yeah I wish I could get a 50 gram sampler of it instead of just the whole tub... I'm cheap like that. BUT... if you order some, maybe let us know how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahwahoo2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Dude,I'm pretty sure that al-Amir makes 50g packs, Im just not sure where I have seen them. I will look for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 50g's of blueberry? Yes, please let me know if you can find that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd still have a guy photoshop it blue and still have to print and label them. Unless...they are actually colors by some guy on the assebly line with a blue marker, that'd be hilarious. I'm guessing they are just stupid or really don't know what blueberries look like or think we are stupid.Blue raspberry is an actual common flavor....maybe that's what they were going for, even though they don't exist.

yashman19 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Whoops, they don't seem to carry blueberry though, sorry mang... And I noticed that they have a lot more flavors for the 50gram if you buy them in the box, not the jar. Odd, but whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nidal105 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 On the raspberry one, in Arabic, it says "toot" flavour, which means "berry". On the Blue Berry one it says "toot azraq", which literally translates to "Blue Berry". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainsmoke Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 hmm on german we call it "brombeeren" dont know if they have a name in english but they look like this [img]http://www.naturheilkundelexikon.de/images/image55.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social Smoke Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Unfortunately, Al Amir has not started making the 50g in blueberry yet. I believe we got in a total of 24 flavors for now in the cartons/50g packs. The reason there are more flavors in the boxes than the jars is that the boxes are the new packaging for Al Amir 50g which replaces the 8 flavors they originally made in 50g jars. We all got a laugh in the warehouse the first time we saw the blue colored raspberries pictured on the blueberry jar. The picture is supposed to be of blueberries for sure, not blue raspberries like what actually made it on the label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
