Just wondering, I can't think of any other fruit that's blue.

I thought blackberries were purple?
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Blueberries are purple too. The SKIN is blue, but when you consider the flesh inside, the thing is purple overall.

Juniper berries are blue.
Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.

I've started to see blue tomatias (sp?) at the grocery store.

I just read that there's a cousin of the blueberry, the bilberry, which is also blue. I don't think I could tell the difference just by looking at them. I wonder what a bilberry tastes like?
