A great conundrum

I have stumbled upon an enigma that has been plaguing all mankind since the dawn of time--okay, maybe just me, not all mankind....and maybe just since yesterday, not the dawn of time. Why is it, in the VeggieTales fruit snacks, the ones shaped like Madame Blueberry taste like blue raspberry instead of blueberry? The Pa Grape ones taste like grape--that makes sense. It also makes sense that Bob the Tomato, Larry the Cucumber, Laura Carrot, and Junior Asparagus don't taste like their namesakes. Who wants asparagus in their fruit snacks? No one. But Madame Blueberry not tasting like blueberry? Total insanity. I know, I'm a 23-year-old, 250-pound man complaining about the VeggieTales fruit snacks, but that's beside the point--which is still valid. How can I ever feed these to my future kids if I can't answer this question in a way that makes sense to me? They'll be asking the same thing.

So internet public, for the sake of my future kids, please help me solve this riddle. Then maybe I can sleep at night. And don't tell me it's because blue raspberry tastes better than blueberry. That's a lie. Blue raspberry is nasty. Blueberries are amazing. See this post if you don't believe me about blueberries--last paragraph.
