The Edsel. Boy I remember those. I was a little kid, and it was always 'Hey look...an Edsel'. That Grill was something else.

What's not to love.

Obamacare exceeds Edsel by metes and bounds.

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

[Snickering Hound]

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

[Slyfox]

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.

Unlike the rest; the Newton showed that there WAS an enormous demand for such a product - the technology just didn’t catch up with expectations for a couple decades. (I have two Newtons.)

When Clairol, a subsidiary of P&G, released its Touch of Yogurt Shampoo in 1979, however, customers did not take to associating dairy with a hair product. The product was also confusing to some. There were a number of cases of people mistakenly eating it and getting sick as a result.

Now we know who voted for Jimmy Carter.

I’d have New Coke at 1 or 2.

8. Zune

I recall a spoof advertisement for a cover to make your iPod look like a Zune --ensuring nobody would steal it.

[minnesota_bound]

Big Mac .55 cents in 1996. Now $4.69 We are told there is no inflation!!!

Zune: Sheldon likes it......

TouchPad: The CEO who had been fired from another company after costing it over $2 billion also was fired from HP but only after he tried to discontinue all computer manufacturing as he wanted to be like IBM and go into consulting.

Just from personal observation...YMMV.

[PJ-Comix]

No mention of McRibs? That has to be the WORST “food” ever served up by McDonalds. Not even real ribs. Oh, and their oatmeal breakfast has to be a close second in terms of lousy food. BTW, do they still sell those oatmeals?

[JimRed]

Off topic, but one very successful marketing job was done on Corona beer. It used to be the Budweiser of the Caribbean 50 years ago; some genius put it in a clear bottle and added a chunk of lime and PRESTO! Yuppie beer!

I still have 2 Zunes. They are fetching some decent prices as collectors items. I have one for sale on amazon right now, a pink one if anyone is interested. :))
