Nostalgic Blue's Clues Food I Remember Eating

[Originally posted to Lavender-Sprinkles on PF]

This post is inspired by the fact that I was visited by the visceral taste of foods gone by after I saw my partner doodling popsicles and particularly, a push pop with the paper wrapper.




1. Blue's Clues Gummies

Blue's Clues gummies were these creamy-style fruit gummies. The most nostalgic thing I remember about them was the opaque color to them. They looked like matte finish nail polish and tasted like creme fruit candies.

2. Blue's Clues Ice Cream

Blue's Clues ice cream was a flavor created by Blue Bunny back in 2003 and was discontinued pretty soon after. It was a vanilla ice cream with a blue color to it and the pawprint treats in the ice cream were actually sugar cookies. I remember eating the ice cream and loving the taste and texture of the cookies even though I had no idea that the cookies were in fact, cookies. I used to think they were giant sprinkles similar to the round flat confetti ones and was always disappointed that regular sprinkles didn't taste as good as the "sprinkles" in my favorite ice cream. The ice cream by itself was really good too, it was vanilla, but it tasted like, well... vaguely like the happiness that Blue's Clues gave me. It was very creamy, it didn't taste artificial despite the high amounts of blue food coloring, and it was very sweet and comforting.

3. Blue's Clues Applesauce

Blue's Clues applesauce, the bluest tasting applesauce you will ever love eating. Technically, it also had berries mashed into it like blueberry and raspberry and such (as you can see on the package), but like tto me as a 5-year-old kid, it was just blue applesauce, I couldn't even distinguish the fact that they were other flavors that are in fact not apple and not blue. As an adult, I find the mere fact that I ate blue applesauce as a child appalling, but at the same time, I'm nostalgic for it and would eat it in a heartbeat if it existed again ignoring my repulsion.
