    I think I read somewhere it was elderflower. But the blue is enough to put me off.

    Supply Chain : Ah bollox. I accidentally ordered 500 tonnes of blue die instead of yellow die.

    Marketing: Not a problem. Our customers are stupid.

    I was going to buy some next time I saw it, my mind was thinking it would taste somewhere between blue Mr Freeze and WKD Blue.

    Is there more than one flavour? The one I had tasted like a tomato plant. It was horrible.

    I haven't actually tried it, I just seem to remember reading it ages ago.

    My kids love it! Had a taste, definitely got a lemony taste.

    Hmmm. In that case, it could be prickly pear.

    No. It's made from tomato plants.

    My kids used to love Blue flavoured slush puppies, I assume its the same but IMO I've never tasted a Blue anything, well except for Illegal stuff, but blue for kids is a sales pitch

    It looks like something you’d use to clean the toilet. That alone would turn me off drinking it.

    Hmm, one would expect a nice fizzy Orange drink!

    Blue Gin maybe, blue Fanta, No.

    It is actually surprisingly good with gin, which has meant that it won't get used directly as toilet cleaner here.

    It's a strange taste, hadnt heard of it until I was in Tesco yesterday so bought a bottle.

    Here's the marketing blurb

    Wait..it could be one of any 6 flavours. So two bottles may not taste the same?

    I hope its laced with some of those deadly E numbers from back in the late 80s early 90s.

    No I think it says there is a 6 part series of clues if you scan the QR code, but just one mystery flavour
