Vitaminwater turns to Facebook to find new flavour

The app monitors buzz from around the web, from sources including Google News, Twitter, Flickr and food blog Foodgwaker to create a list of the top ten flavours at any given moment.

The more a flavour is talked about the more likely it will make the final top ten list. Facebook users will then be invited to vote for their favourite flavour in the flavour creator lab, which will be released for sale in March next year.

The app also features a range of health quizzes to help users decide which vitamin and minerals the drink should contain and what its health benefits will be.

The third stage will see users design the label for the bottle, name the flavour and write the entertaining blurb explaining the water's health benefits.

The winning design will be selected by Vitaminwater's celebrity partners 50 Cent and Carrie Underwood. The new flavour and label will be announced in December with the winning designer taking home $5000 for their efforts.

Owned by Coca-Cola, Vitaminwater is aimed at health conscious consumers, with each flavour purporting to have a particular health benefit, such endurance, or relaxing.
