One name says it all, one says nothing
These two teams sit at opposite ends of how a pack gets its name.
Blue Raspberry is named for exactly what it is. It's Silver Flavor Series, the fruit-forward branch, and Michigan's fruit-forward Silver flavors start with it, an electric fruit cue at the top of the list.
XXX never explains itself. There's no flavor name, no backstory on the label and no partner mark, just a red curtain and three letters. Even the jersey keeps it cryptic: the Blunt wears 30, the Roman way to write the name.
Blue Raspberry's numbers do explain themselves. The Blunt wears 11, one for each strand of the red-and-blue helix on the pack.
What's inside
Blue Raspberry puts its berry flavor up front in a recipe of flower, distillate and kief, in classic packaging, marked Indica. It comes as a 1.5g Moon Rock Blunt and a 1g Moon Rock Pre-Roll.
XXX is Gold Strain Series flower with live resin and diamonds, also marked Indica, with a woodsy citrus profile and a classic earthy cannabis character. It fields all four positions.
Look both up in the full blunt strain index, where a fruit name like Blue Raspberry marks the flavor-led side of the library.
