Not a fan of real blueberries. The "flavour" though is good.
Same with strawberries. I must have been a teenager when I tried real strawberries. So disappointed as the fake flavour is so much stronger and sweeter.
These would both go in the other column for me. "Blueberry" is maybe the fakest of the bunch, except for bananas. "Strawberry" tends to be pink water, which maybe isn't that far off from your average actual strawberry but still misses the mark for me dawg.
My low ratio might be grapefruit. I actually like the fruit but it wouldn't bother me to never eat one again and most grapefruit-flavored things are 10/10. Also considered pear and grape.
Raspberries and peaches are perfect on both ends (!) so I can't put those in either bucket.

One of the things I really miss from not being in NE is the Polar Dry grapefruit (and orange.)
I will always choose kiwi and pineapple over their flavored variants.
And mango seems to straddle the line evenly. Their flavored items taste great compared to an actual mango. (But I will engorge myself on fresh mango if there's a choice.)

Pineapple is the opposite for me. Real pineapple I love, don't care for the artificial flavor.
You know what you need? A lyrical sucker punch to the face.
Fake fruit flavor is something I never liked, even as a kid. Aside from the occasional pink starburst, I think all fruit candy and shit like that was gross.

That fruit gum stuff, awful. Just awful. Fruit Stripe. Blech.

Then you probably won't like this beer. I haven't had it yet, but my friend loves it. Fruited sour with vanilla, said it tastes exactly like Fruit Stripe gum.

Does it lose its flavor after 5 minutes?

Skittles are the ones that really get me. I can't understand at all why people love them.
By far my favorite candy.
ETA - although the new(ish) green ones can suck it. Lime was way better than apple.
Ha, I "argued" with my oldest yesterday about this. She told her sister green was green apple and I was like "fuck outta here, its lime" and she showed me the bag. Apparently they switched in 2013.

Have you tried the Heat Skittles or what ever they are called? Not bad at all.
To quote both Bruce Prichard and Tony Schiavone, "Fuck Duff Meltzer."

Red/Strawberry skittles are my favorite flavor, but in one of their odd iterations (I don't think it was "heat", might be "dark"), the one that looks like a regular red/strawberry skittle is horrendous. Take the green apple out of the regular, and the red one in the dark, and you've got a real nice lineup of 8 skittles.

Skittles were my favorite as a kid, and apparently I haven't had them in 7 years. Green apple, why? Now I need to try some.

I don't like regular Skittles, but the Tropical ones (do they still make those?) are good.

Opposite on this. If you told me I could have either actual fruit or fruit-flavored candy for the rest of my life but not both, I'd pick actual fruit, but it would be close.

Like one out of five packs of strawberries is actually really good, but it's worth the gamble when they are.

The better a strawberry is, the shorter the shelf life. Yet they're mostly sold in those giant clamshells. Quite the conundrum when you only have a single mouth.
