Facebook Vitamin Water

Facebook has just
taken its first step to go beyond the Internet and into our lives with the upcoming release of a Facebook-themed flavour for Glaceu Vitaminwater called Connect. Heck, it even comes with a Facebook stamp on its label and a superbly long description that pays homage to the popular social media website.

The new flavour was actually created by their own Facebook fans through a contest that the company organized few months ago. Guess that’s how the Facebook association comes into the picture. Meanwhile, don’t storm off to your nearest 7-11 or groceries stores for the drink just yet as Vitaminwater is still not officially available in Malaysia yet.

The new flavor and label were a result of a contest VitaminWater has been conducting on its Facebook page over the last few months that invited fans to design their own flavors (check out the video below featuring Steve Nash for an intro). Here’s the message VitaminWater used to announce the news on its Facebook page. You can blame them for the lack of capitalization:

unlike the never-ending debate over whether it’s rock-paper-scissors or paper-rock-scissors, based on your votes and your designs, the latest flavor of vitaminwater has FINALLY been decided… introducing the black cherry-lime flavored vitaminwater named… connect! check out this new package- flavor & ingredients, name & label design- all inspired by you- our fans. it’s got 8 key nutrients plus caffeine. thanks for all your help- especially to the grand prize winner Sarah from Illinois and the four other finalist http://budurl.com/q27w. vitaminwater connect will be available in stores nationwide in march this year- so until then, stay hydrated- and keep your eyes here for news, updates and special offers for connect, including a possible sneak tasting opportunity. and btw… it’s rochambeau!
