The first blue liquid I ever tasted was the flavor syrup for a snow cone. It tasted like Bazooka® bubble gum.

Which seemed odd, since all those brands of bubble gum are pink, not blue.

Hmmm. I filled enough fountain pens in my day (and inserted cartridges into others) to sear that particular color into the back of my brain.

Could it be the dislike to blue liquids stems from the times of ink use? Imagine yourself drinking a glass of diluted blue ink…

I personally would go for some Klingon Gagh and Rokeg Blood Pie right about now… with a side of prune juice (a warrior’s drink, no?).

Back in the late 80s, a friend of mine in high school (she was a boarder, I was a day student) used to claim that she could keep the milk she bought from being snitched out of the communal fridge in the dorm by putting blue food coloring in it.

“No one likes blue food,” was her pronouncement.

I guess some 20 years later, she’s been proven wrong. (Though I still can’t eat or drink anything of that brilliant a shade without being a bit discomfited by the thought of what chemicals it took to dye it that color)
