I was at the supermarket the other day. I walked past the bakery section, then some raspberry tarts caught my eye. I leaned over, when I noticed that they were called "Raspberry flavored tarts".

Now, I've seen "Beef flavored sausages" before, but I thought, hey, let's see what it means by "Raspberry flavored". I checked the ingredients, and I found out the tarts were not filled with raspberry, but...

Raspberry flavored APPLE. So now some innocent apple-allergy person (no offence to any) could be walking around and see raspberry tarts and think: "Oh, raspberry tarts! I like them because I can't eat apple so I'll buy them and eat them!"

Then they go home and have an allergic reaction, and can't sue or anything because the ingredients were there, but still not that visible.

What's your opinion on "raspberry" (flavored apple) tarts.

This is so pointless...

I mean when something says x flavored it usually tends to mean "not actually made from x thing" so

also, I feel like if someone's going to be allergic enough for it to be an issue, they'll be checking the ingredient labels of pretty much everything they get to be safe
 
I...don't really get why they don't just make them raspberry tarts. A friend got me an apple once that was grape-flavoured, and when I ate it, I was disturbed. She asked me why, and I told her, next time, get me either grapes, or an apple-flavoured apple. I don't get the reasoning behind fruit flavoured like other fruit.

To be honest, I don't like fruit pastries anyway, but if I did, I'd want a raspberry tart made out of frickin' raspberries.
