"Flavour of the Month" was an American advertising phrase that was introduced in the 1940s in an attempt to get people to vary the flavour of ice cream they ate rather than boring old vanilla.
Since then the phrase has been adopted into the language to indicate anything that has a short-lived prominence or is a current craze.
"Let us hope that blogging isn't just the flavour of the month."
looks like strawberry and mango there! MMmmm slurp!
