this was not a flop by any means, but do you remember, “SizzleLean?” my brother managed a supermarket, and he would always come home with the newest product... i remember my sister-in-law cooking it one Saturday morning when i had stayed the night at their house... they also had Pepsi Crystal when it first came out...

Heh.....yeah, “anal leakage” are two words NO ONE ever wants to see together, much less on the food we’re eating.

Do you remember when Carter was President and his brother came out with “Billy Beer?” A huge flop.

I actually lost a lot of weight on SizzleLean. Long before I knew anything about low carb dieting, I would eat that stuff, stirfried in a non-stick pan, I think, with some vegetables and soy sauce, for dinner. It got a little boring, but it worked.

bring back the ORIGINAL scent of ‘Herbal Essence’ shampoo

AGREE 100% --- favorite shampoo of all time. While the Vermont Country store say they sell it, it really isn't the same

Pontiac Aztek. The ugly SUV that killed a car division.

And the price of gasoline was only $1.87 when he took his first Oath of Office.

Remember Zima?

A "clear beer" marketed to metrosexual yuppies and women who normally wouldn't drink beer in the first place.

No.1 should be Obamacare.

Yep. Next to collective farming in the Soviet Union, it is the most colossal failure known to man.

It was an attempt to get chicks into malt liquor.

Zima: it zucks.

That guy standing next to the Edsel looks like Don Draper.

One of my neighbors had an Edsel for a while. He traded it for a 59 Plymouth with the huge fins that wasn’t much better looking.

We had a 57 Plymouth station wagon. Lots and lots of steel.
