This is a quote from another forum about why Blue Raspberry exists, as far as sweets go:

Its because there were standard flavors in candy and fruit beverages, like Slush Puppies. One flavor per color. Red is used for strawberry or cherry and pink is used for watermelon or strawberry, so raspberry is kind of left out in the cold. Blueberry wasn't traditionally used, so nothing blue really exists for blue, so raspberry got shifted into the blue category. Notice some companies put bubble gum in the blue category, too.
