Last year, Vitaminwater allowed their Facebook fans to create a new flavor and the result of that is Vitaminwater Connect. The newest beverage from the Coke-owned company is a black cherry-lime flavored water that contains eight “key nutrients” and caffeine. Sadly, none of the ingredients in the beverage were grown via FarmVille.
As with all flavors of Vitaminwater, it contains the obligatory light-hearted copy in all lowercase letters:
“we caught you. no use denying it. your fingerprints are all over this bottle. after connecting on Facebook, you voted on the flavor & designed the label—it was great having you do all the work! and since you’ve been so busy pretending not to notice friend requests for about 3 days, posting pics of events (that you’re still at), and clicking through photos of ‘friends’ you barely know (ever get nervous they can tell?), better crack open this bottle. it’s got 8 key nutrients from vitamin a to zing plus caffeine to give you some extra energy… because based on last night’s pics, it looks like you’ve got some serious untagging to do.”
It won’t be available until March, but you can kill some of that time by playing Mafia Wars or Bejeweled Blitz.
Love the post! Fortunately, my ex-husband will still be in prison for a few more years…at which time I’m sure Facebook will be an obsolete part of webculture. It was crazy enough when he signed up for the same dating website (while awaiting his prison sentencing…)
This is the dumbest drink ever! It also makes me wonder, what will be the biggest new thing after FB?
Facebook sucks, they can die in a fire for their sign in system (I hate fixed passwords).
What kind of people would drink these anyway? 40 year old writers who have nothing better to do than have cyber sex with teens?
Um, seriously?! boo vitaminwater connect! Hooray vitamin water 10
Don’t get too excited, Dr. Vitaminwater 10 will be gone in a few months, replaced by Vitaminwater Zero.
“it was great having you do all the work” – and now it’s great to get you to pay $3.50 for an overpriced drink that probably doesn’t do what it claims! Suckers!
