Process of elimination...they are blue because they are not another color!

Besides, it in the name...

Wonder if the wax could be used as a sunscreen if it could be put into a suitable carrier or binder or whatever for use on humans?

“Must come up with something.”

Yeah, something to soak the taxpayers for funding something no one cares about... :)

We got too many of those...

The world is filled with many complex mysteries.

Today, English scientists helped me understand two of these mysteries.

1. Trees are old.

2. What makes blueberries blue.

Who knows what they will discover tomorrow?

Growing up just to be eaten as someone’s breakfast would make anyone sad.

It depends on the hill they are grown on.

Mr. Bear knew why blueberries are blue, they should have asked?

Glad that is answered.

Now, could someone tell me specifically what is the mystical “Redberry” that they tell me about in the breakfast cereal commercials?
