A typically sarcastic or apathetic exclamation made when a miscalculation or mistake has been made; most often, this applies when an individual has missed some cue to stop, thus creating a useless or bothersome excess.
Generally, it applies to any benign mishap. But in the ideal context, it deals with "going overboard" with a task, often completing something that should have been stopped long ago; also applies to an overestimation of needs, thus creating or getting much more of an item than is needed.
The origin of this phrase is from a variety of Cap'n Crunch cereal: The "Oops All Berries!" branding featured no rectangular yellow cereal pieces, only the round multicolored "berries" as introduced in Crunch Berries.
Widely regarded as the authority on Captain Crunch consumption, Curtis Cartwright explains the phrase:
"What oops? You put ALL BERRIES n***a? WHAT? Like, somebody just hit the button, was like, Oops, N***a, all berries! F**k it! Put that s**t on the shelves!"
Evident in Cartwright's interpretation, there is also an sense that in saying the phrase, it is a suggestion that the use of the now excessive something has become appropriate. It's already been made or done, so the idea of using the excess anyway is implied in the uttering of, "Oops, all berries..."
If the mistake is humorous or absurd, then the exclamation can be accompanied by throwing one's hands up in an exaggerated shrug and an amused expression of sarcastic confusion.

Get the Doing the Bernie mug.A derogatory term coined by the Clinton machine to generalize Bernie supporters as sexist, white young men. The idea was to get Clinton elected simply because she was a female.
In reality, 58% of women and 55% of men approve of Sanders, according to a Harvard poll. Sanders supporters overwhelmingly support Elizabeth Warren - who is also female.
Then again, facts meant nothing back in 2016.
