Perhaps it's like the snack sticks I saw once in an Asian market labeled "chocolate bourbon pickle" that contained no chocolate, no bourbon, and nothing pickled. Each word of the product name was being used in some sense other than the usual.

Who really knows what blue is supposed to taste like anyway? Food should not be that colour.

When I was in college the local convenience stores (Snappy-Mart) had their own equivalent of Icee/Slurpee called "Slush Puppy", which came in an assortment of colors, including blue. The others were fairly obvious (yellow for lemon, red for cherry, etc) but we had to ask to find out what they'd assigned for blue.
Coconut.
My friend thereafter always ordered a blue coconut Slush Puppy every weekend on the way out of town to go hiking..
About fifteen years later I returned for a visit, with my girlfriend of the tim, and of course I had to take her to Snappy Mart for a blue Slush Puppy. The flavor had changed, though. Mine tasted like kerosene, as did the many burps I treated her to for the rest of the afternoon.

I say fake, because they're not made of anything, apparently. Taste like I'm eating extruded silicone or maybe seaweed jelly, but even seaweed has a small amount of taste!
I told him he can have his literal filler material.

When I was in uni, I lived in a house with other college students. Like almost all college students, we were mostly broke and bought cheap food. One of the things we bought was cheap, store brand grape flavored fruit punch. This should be read with around the word grape. Think of the most ungrapelike artificial grape flavoring you can imagine, but worse. We eventually decided it was not even fake grape flavored; it was simply purple flavored. And then banned it from the house, because it was disgusting.

It turns out, making custom mouthguard is a bit more complicated than anticipated.

You buy one, boil it until it softens and then shove it in your moth and bite down? That's how I did it back when I regularly punched people in an ordered setting.

Yes that's how you do it with store-bought units. Not so much if you're making it your own with materials on-hand.

20+ years ago we had Slush Puppy regularly from the fast food stands at the local swimming pools. It was pretty common here in Germany.

I remember those at my local pool too. I never wanted one; they looked... unnatural, like something born of an unholy union betwixt Big Food and the nuclear reprocessing industry.

Basically what any American supermarket smells like.
-
@topspin Then there was drink I can remember having that was something labelled as being mango .
-
@dkf You're not from one of those places that uses "mango" to mean "bell pepper", are you?
-
@da-Doctah Bell peppers are nicer than that chemical stew.

It still is here - the supermarket near me has a Slush Puppy machine. It has the "blue raspberry" flavour, which obviously has fuck all to do with actual raspberry except it was made on the same planet that raspberries are grown, and the red flavour which I assume is supposed to be chemical strawberry.

Btw, Those drinks that put "nam dok anchan"(Clitoria ternatea) extract inside does look blue.
And by adjusting the acidity of the drink, it can show different shades of blue to purple, much like litmus but it's "the more acidic you make the drink, the more purple it becomes".

Interesting. Another example of a natural pH-indicator. (It also works with red cabbage juice.)

According to Wikipedia, that's exactly why it's named like this in the first place.

Agree.
I tried Konjac noodles a few years ago, but they are so slippery that (a) they don't absorb any taste, and (b) they are very difficult to chew.
Not a success. There are better ways to cut down on calories.

There are better ways to cut down on calories.It happens that I just bought 2 packs of Konjac spaghetti made by Japanese noodle manufacturer "Showa" , and I remember that the last time I cook it wasn't too bad. (The noodle also not quite absorb the favor, and don't really "holding the sauce to it", but at least the texture feels correct.
-

That's what surprised me the most.
For shits and squigles I tried again mixing it in with normal ramen. Now, I know I usually overcook noodles, but even after boiling for about half an hour they stayed the same rubberyness and indeed when eating I found myself swallowing the noodles themselves last (thy having separated from the rest of the things I added to the noodles).
Bizarre.
