Now that we've somewhat established a link between each character and a specific flavor, perhaps the myspace pages will give us the correct proportion of each flavor bot to use? Perhaps the friend counts are the actual proportions and someplace to start? (I'm pretty sure this was mentioned somewhere else previously)

The highest friend count is Jamie's at 677 and given the other connections to the number 700, let's assume the maximum amount of flavor is 700. See what comes of it. I'll let you all know if this does anything.

Tried it, nothing happened besides making a pretty nasty looking drink robot. His theme was what my insides look like after a night a serious drinking. Just kidding. I liked your idea of equating the amount of flavor to their respective amount of friends. Just didn't do it for me though.

Is it possible the colors of the MS pages are just reassurance that we're looking in the right place?
From what we already know, the flavors game isn't gonna unlock anything until the flash is updated again and re-decompiled.

Very interesting stuff. I think Red Walrus' find might have been even more groundbreaking than original one (though they are both very plausible). I doubt that as of now there will be "something to find" using this information, but if in the future a clue comes up referencing a flavor-bot, we'll notice any possible connections to the seven right away. Nice job, you two. Very Happy

Or, another thought - maybe there are clues on each person's myspace that give a 'correct' combo-bot for each person; then, we'd get SIX numbers/percentages for each character, so that might be a different kind of code, i.e., a line-word puzzle (as in 6th line, 12th word; 10th line, 20th word.. etc.). Again, though, this would assume we can translate those 'percentage bars' into numbers.

The percentage bars each have 10 positions, if that helps.

Also, just thinking that it's interesting to connect the names of the bots to the color-corresponding friend. Someone else mentioned this above. Anime for Hud. Rage for Jamie (what will Teddy do to her?). Zoom for Hawk. Lil's tasty...? Well. Ok. Maybe not. I do agree that there's something to this parallel, though!

Considering relationships between the flavor bots and the characters, and if Hud is a match with the secret ingredient, it's interesting to note that we have mystery surrounding both. We didn't see Hud in the trailer apparently, and it's suspected he's the one behind the camera part of the time if not all of the time. We also don't know what the ingredient is, haven't seen what it really is. Thus, they are both essentially the 'hidden' elements in each respective construct.

The secret ingredient seems to be the key to everything relative to Slusho, and if we carry the equation of reasoning over to the characters then Hud (the 'hidden' person) would be the key to everything relative to the 7 characters.

What else haven't we seen yet?
That's right, the monster.

Do you think that we are going to fast, and later on they will place in the flash a combo you need.

If you are talking to me, I think we are putting too much focus on the importance of proportions of the other flavors (or by analogy characters) than on how the 'secret ingredient' ('hidden' character) relates to everything else - if this apparent relationship between the Slusho and MySpace symbolism has any truth. Exercising it as a theory we need to look at how that key item in each is a fulcrum of a plot mechanism upon which the rest of the respective items move.
