Blue Sun are - it is assumed at least - to be a large, multi-planetary conglomeration, basically like Coca-Cola mixed up with a darker side.

First off Nighthawk, welcome. Pull up a chair and set a spell. We're glad you're here.
To answer your question, Blue Sun was pretty well everywhere in the series, if you look closely enough. On posters, T-shirts, canned goods, advertisements on vending machines and billboards, to name the things I remember off the top of my head. Let me pop in my copy of disc 1 and get an exact location for ya...
OK, in "Serenity", when Mal, Jayne and Zoe are walking back to the ship after their meeting with Badger, the background is a collection of what look suspiciously like stackable semi-trailer containers. If you wait until just after Jayne says "I got a share of this job" (time 23:54) there is a Blue Sun poster between him and Mal. And in "Ariel", when River slashes Jayne with a knife, he's wearing a T-shirt with the Blue Sun logo on it. (A lot of us assume it happened BECAUSE it was a Blue Sun T-shirt)
It seems that Blue Sun in a large super-corporation, with lots of products people in the Firefly 'verse can buy. There may well be a more sinister aspect to them as well, which may show up in the coming movie/movies (cross fingers/knock on wood!!)
Anyone else want to join in?

MAL "You only gotta scare him."
JAYNE "Pain is scary..."

And the food in Shindig, just reaches in

Consume is a good word, too, especially around Blue Hands

Reavers on diet supplements?

After Earth that Was is gone, and there are no more government controls on monopolies, Wal-Mart changes its name to Blue Sun ... they even control the government ....

Ya, i think blue sun is gonna be in the movie cause in the audio commentary of serenity, nathon fillion is all "Hey look, blue sun" and since it wasnt in the show, it must be in the movie, but were they filming when they did that or was that befor cause if it was before mabey its not in the movie. That was a really long sentance.

I don't think it will be in the movie unless Blue Sun is definitly part of the allience or if Blue Sun are actually the people who screwed around with River (maybe they wanted her to pull market research from your mind!)

Everything said above is true... even Spookyjesus. In the metaphor ladden worlds of Joss and Company the giant, mysterious, oddly named Blue Sun Corporation represents corporate power and influence.

Take note, there is great significance to the characters (River especially) and their relationship with Blue Sun since it pervades everything and seemingly owns everything. Yes, I did notice a Blue Sun pop ad in one show.

Ooooh and someone pointed out, rather brilliantly I thought, something between River, Blue Sun, And Jayne in one ep. I don't want to steal anyones thunder and I don't know where that post is on this BBS. Can anyone help? I'll bet someone can lead you better than I.

Anyho', welcome aboard. Keep your head low and your text clear.

Sympathies, spookyjesus. But inducing diarrhea won't save you from those Blue Sun food additives.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Welcome to the board Nighthawk. Glad to have you w/ us.

Seems that everyone else has pretty well covered your question regarding Blue Sun. They are in fact some sort of mega corporation that seems to have their hands in everything from food and drinks to tampering w/ young girls minds to turn them into some type of über operative or some such thing.
