The correct answer is: pan

"Many people thought Facebook would be a flash in the pan, but it is now more popular than ever."

A flash in the pan is a thing or person whose sudden but short success is not repeated.

flash in the pan = Eintagsfliege

The social networking site Facebook continues to prove it is not a flash in the pan: it now has over 300 million users and, according to statistics, it was the second most popular website in the US and the UK in September 2009. The most popular website in both countries was the search engine, Google.
