this is great! i really like it.. i got all except the boysenberry.. *two thumbs up*
Thanks y'all! I recently found boysenberry icecream and that's when I heard it for the first time as well! I am a berry fanatic and love to eat berries, so that's probably where this teaser came from!
Very nice riddle. I like riddles like these. Well done!
Thanks Psychic_Master, glad you had fun with it!
glad strawberry was in there - yum! nice & easy.
Berry nice Brainster. Simple and fun. Berries are one of my favorite foods also. And the teaser was terrific. More please.
I liked it!
very easy once you figure out the instructions....
WOW, imurray TWO WHOLE LEVELS ABOVE ANY PLACE YOU WILL EVER ATTAIN. PUT UP OR SHUT UP.
Fun teaser, these do take a little work to create. Keep up the good work.

Very fruitful
Very interesting and nice. Got all except no.2!
This was a lot of fun because it wasn't TOOO hard, so as to be discouraging, but just enough to make me look verrrrrrry closely at the sentences a couple of times. I got them all right, though.... I give this one 5 stars!! *****
You forgot dingleberries
nicely done... but it was pretty easy...
IF u kno wat i mean...

Good teaser. It was easy, but you still had to put on your thinking cap, and isn't that what this is all about?

This one was very easy but I liked the fact that you didn't put the whole word in the sentences to make it a little more difficult. The "find the word in a sentence" teasers usually aren't my favourite type of teasers but I liked this one.
OOPs!!Guess I stuttered.Sorry.
I got all of them except for boysenberry. I was wondering, is it good? I've never heard of it.
Good one. I got all but gooseberry. I've never heard of that kind.
I loved this one. Boysenberries are great, but not available nationwide like blueberries and strawberries. However, gourmet grocery stores usually stock boysenberry syrup, which is great on pancakes. Only one thing about the teaser -- don't horses sleep standing up, like cattle?
Very difficult. Directions didn't make sense!
I thought it was a lot of fun and pretty easy! Great job!
Berry interesting! I was only stumped on creanberry. Guess i should have looked harder at that sentence.
I got them all!!!!! Yes, it was pretty easy, except for a couple. You could use the same idea and make them harder, and add even more, because it's a great idea. But there's nothing wrong with easy. Thanks!
lmurray: yes, you got someone's attention today. Where does it say a teaser can't be on a fifth grade level? We actually have many members who are in fifth grade. Maybe you need more... stuff in your life. That way, it wouldn't affect you so intensely when you didn't like the Daily Teaser!

LTSA fun, Brainster! DRL!!! Gotta find me some BLUEberry pie today!!!
Berry nice! It was quite easy, but it was also a lot of fun! Boysenberry was my favorite one; it's always great fun to find the answer across two or more words.
As for you, lmurray, your comments aren't necessarily the opposite of the truth, but you have horrible people skills. Then again, sometimes you're just flat out wrong. But besides that, if you have a problem with one of the teasers, why don't you offer helpful suggestions on how the teaser might be improved? Instead of just putting everyone down all the time for not giving you a good enough teaser, voice your opinion in a constructive way. For example, on this teaser you could have said,
"Brainster, I really liked your idea and where you were going with this! It might have been a little more challenging if the words were mixed within a couple of words, like for straw, 'Be sure to wash your hands when preparing pork, lest raw meat contaminate your other ingredients.'" Then, you are offering a real suggestion that might actually help someone create a better teaser in the future, instead of just complaining about everything over and over.

Nice job - I enjoyed it......

it truly was berry berry good
I'm in the mood for some berries! Good time with this one.
Berry fun, but I have to agree it was way too easy. I liked the ideas about spreading the berries out between several words, like in the case of boysenberry. Another suggestion would have been to make shorter sentences and "scramble" the berries in. For expample: Some TRees are AWesome.
Thanks for taking them time to "tease" us.

Thank for the comments y'all.
rhmaustin: dunno about the horses. PM me if you are sure, I could always change it to the stable-boy!
lmurray: there is no requirement on this site that the teasers have to be super difficult. I also look forward to seeing YOUR first teaser.

I AM SOOOO SICK OF YOU IMURRAY, GROW UP.

not bad, a little on the easy side
I liked this one. This was pretty easy, but sometimes you just don't feel like thinking too hard, you know?
Boysenberries are yummy. I grew up next door to someone who had a boysenberry tree, and we used to eat them all the time. Mmmmm....

Great teaser I've never heard of #3 though
wow, very easy but pretty fun!!
Wa-a-ay too easy! But I still enjoyed it!
VERy BERRY good Got them all Yahoo!!!!!
Never heard of a boysenberry?? otherwise I got the rest... enjoyed this one...
I liked this! I like having a smile on my face when I'm finished and this one passes the 'smile test'.
P.S. The church "elder" enjoyed this teaser, I'm sure.........
Agree that this was easy, but it was FUN. IMHO, there are two parts to any teaser, the difficulty level and the way it is constructed - which to me is what makes it fun. Great verse (like yesterday) or other great imagining and construction (like today) make these teasers great. Also, note they are called "teasers," not "head busters" or something similar. Trying to get a read on lMURRAY. Every single freakin' comment is negative. I can't figure out why someone who hates everthing on the site bothers each day. Also can't figure out if it's hemorrhoids, the cat ran away and died, or just a generally sour look on life in general. lMURRAY, if you want hard, go to a Soduku site and take on the black belt-level puzzles. This is a fun site for people who want a little challenge and also want a little fun (oops - there's that three letter word again - I apologize). Bottom line to this overly long post - thank you Brainster (and all others) for your time, creativity, and energy.
HEAR HEAR!!
I actually thought it was kinda tough, imurray

I liked it, but it reminded me too much of "best in show" and the discussion about nuts.
I got most of it! Very good 1!
!ysae tub nuf yrreB
I really like these language teasers. Got most of them ,but for some reason could not get cranberry. Guessed crankberrybecause it sounded familiar, had heard of cranberry but could.nt seeit
didn't know there was a gooseberry until i googled it.
its great!
I thought I knew my berries but, I missed the cranberry one. It is a good teaser.
Berry good teaser! Had fun guessing them all. Hope to see more. Thanks!
Like Trishgal, I just couldn't see the CRANberry in there! But I love these "find the word in the sentence" type teasers.
Great teaser!
Good one, but you might should have specified that the words that get "berry" added are not necessarily all together (i.e. "boysen" was "boys, en" in the puzzle.) That confused me at first, until I realized that the "en" was seperate.
Berry Berry Easy
Fun! Thanks for posting!
easy peasy but i liked it
Fun and easy. Thanks for a good one.
so much to say, so berry little time I wonder what Imurry actually said to make everyone so mad... I can't find his comment. great quiz\
good fun
good fun
I thought that it was fun. Some of them were pretty obvious, but it was still really fun!
I thought it was a great teaser and I am years and years away from the fifth grade. I found it very enjoyable. I do wonder why everyone is giving imurray the time of day. Ignore him as he is probably enjoying the feedback. I do not know what he said either, but those kind of people need to be ignored. Great teaser!!!
This was very easy 4 me I got them all.
I did have fun with it. Thanks for posting it. A+

Gottem!
Berry berry good is correct
Also not sure what imurry said to get everyone in a tizzy, but based on most of the comments I have seen by him, and likely was not very nice.
I would have to agree with those who said this tease r was was, yet extraordinarily easy and that perhaps it would have been better to spread the "hidden" words out over several words instead of just using that word in a sentence. maybe more difficult for those whose first language is not English it may not be familiar with the names of berries in English.

I got every one except #4. I don't know how I didn't see the answer there.
We need teasers for the whole family, as this is a family site. So this was a great teaser for the family to do together. We also have younger members who do teasers on their own, who I am sure enjoyed this one. I am not young, by far, and I enjoyed it, even though I am highly allergic to berries!
Fun, entertaining and very easy teaser. I got them all right away.
Easy teasy. Basic and fun. I like the clues with the berry words hidden, like cran and boysen.
