The show has an explanation for the color tbh, it’s because they can’t get their hands on the perfect ingredients and what they manage to get has dye on it. Becomes branding later on
I know, what I’m saying is that explanation is fictional. It wouldn’t be blue anyway in real life. The ingredient they used wasn’t claimed to be dyed, the show just invented fictional chemistry that makes it blue.
You are claiming breaking bad made up that old school biker meth bit?
Because their other stuff is all real. The mylar baloons, the battery with an aluminum wiper across the terminals.
Maybe you just are not familiar with the chemistry in that old school formulation where the ingredient became controlled so it was no longer used?
I would remind you as to the enshitiffication of the internet, and bad results being put forward on search engines. Google is not the arbiter of knowledge.
They never gave the full process, and other dangerous things were real, as is typical, even in like Burn Notice, they just didn’t give a full picture, but they didn’t lie.
Like the Mylar Balloons Mike releases that drift into the power lines and short out the wires, that’s real. That is when the cartel sends dudes to kill gus and mike kills them in one of the later seasons.
In a 2011 interview with NPR, the AMC show’s scientific advisor, organic chemist Donna Nelson, confirmed that creator Vince Gilligan took great pains to remix the process in order to avoid accidentally describing to millions of people how the drug is really made.
“That was actually one of the concerns of a lot of people, but Vince Gilligan has been very clever,” Nelson said. “You know, there are multiple ways to make meth. And so although his scenes are very accurate, he will sort of [combine] together parts of different syntheses, so that if you just simply followed the one synthesis as it’s presented, you wouldn’t come out with methamphetamine.”

I’m pretty sure that they purposely explained their synthesis wrong so as to not give everyone watching a step by step process for creating meth.

Is from the creator’s mouth a good enough source
The blue color part of it, yes.
Yeah, not sure how that connects to the blue color, what do you mean?
I sure aren’t, I’m just repeating what the showrunners said, the show creators said they made it up as a plot device.
Huh I will have to look it up I don’t disbelieve you I suppose I don’t know much about cooking meth admittedly.
