The flavor of Facebook in liquid form

Social networking now has a flavor.

In March, Vitamin Water will release Connect -- a black cherry-lime flavored beverage that's the winner of among fan-submitted suggestions on the sports drink's Facebook page

The new drink has caffeine and "eight key nutrients." It managed to defeat lychee, banana and strawberry/cranberry/raspberry blend in a popular vote on what was deemed the "flavor creator" application on Facebook.

If this was really meant to capture the flavor of Facebook, Vitamin

Water might have considered the following names and flavor

combinations:

I didn't get that job because I forgot to make my pictures private: Blue raspberry -- the universal flavor of regret. 

We hooked up and I changed my status to "in a relationship" before you got home from my house: Chocolate and pickles -- some mistakes we can't undo.

I should not have updated my status during a meeting at work: Gritty mint -- the flavor of antacids will forever mark the passage into adulthood.

There's a reason we haven't talked since high school: White cherry and Coca-cola -- the flavor options that are still in the Icee machine at every high school in America. 

Time Suck: This would be a mostly flavorless frozen bottle with a tiny concentrated core of orange in the center. The drink would come with a small ice pick that you would have to use to get to that flavor core.
