Because they prefer to have a packet made up of 90% yellow ones.

They were created in 1974, a blue fruit was probably not as popular back then, such as a Blueberry. They probably just picked a selected 5 flavours that were easily made.

The reason is that there is a higher level of colourings and sugar in blue ones to make it taste and look like a blue fruit because they are generally sweeter
