We've seen them at our local grocery and said the same thing. Not sure they aren't genetically modified so we buy Organic when possible since my toddler loves blueberries.
Maybe came from farms near Three Mile Island?
I work with a few traditional plant geneticists at my workplace (meaning that I am not an expert in the field).
These two links below back up my understanding about GMO fruiit/vegetable produce (not food crops like corn, soybeans, etc.)... there isn't much GMO produce on the market yet.

In other words, those large berries are most likely the result of discovering naturally occurring large berried plants and then propagating them through traditional genetics such as cross pollinating, cuttings, progeny tests, etc..

Love 'em!
Our most recent purchase (sourced from Peru) were the largest I've ever personally consumed.

Humans have been doing this for a long time to tomatoes, pineapples, carrots, watermelons, etc.
To me, as long as they don't have pesticides engineered or breed in, I'm fine with them.

There are many different varieties of blueberries, they mature at different times and some are more appropriate for certain climates. All are different sizes and have different flavors.
