I am on the "Word A Day" list which sends out a new vocabulary word each
day.  Once a week they send out "A Weekly Compendium of Feedback on the
Words in A.Word.A.Day and Other Interesting Tidbits about Words and

Subject: Re: A.Word.A.Day--flavor of the month

Here is a more current usage of the expression :"Flavor of the month"
Flavor of the month is used by hospitals who receive so many free donations
of infant formula that they have to make some order in the unordered
deliveries. By decreeing "flavor of the month" they only allow one company
a month to "give" free supplies and then tell new mothers that's the brand
to feed her baby. Of course there should be no donation of supplies at all,
says WHO, because such samples undermine breastfeeding by far superior to
any "flavor".
