I saw an article this morning about General Mills looking to sell a $13 box of cereal.
Just wondering whats the dumbest/worst product everyone has ever seen. Doesn't have to be from a big or small company and can be something that actually sold or didn't sell well.

LV made this https://uk.louisvuitton.com/eng-gb/products/monogram-admiral-jacket-nvp…</a">abortion of a jacket where they essentially fused the pouches people would carry to the underlying leather jacket. Can't comment on sales as I don't know them, but sadly I expect a product like this to be a hit in the tacky Asian/Arab/Russian communities. Personally, if my brother were lying dead and naked in the middle of the road, I wouldn't cover his body with this.
Great model they used in that link
If they were going for the currently hot "androgynous" look, then yes, I agree.
Model in the photo on the website looks like Indian(a) Jones lol
Was just doing some research on when Wizkid's next album is coming out and I click on the below link and he's pictured with that terrible jacket on, smh.

If you don't know who Wizkid is, the below link should enlighten you. Dude's music is wavy af.
> You think jacket is bad taste > You think Wizkid is good taste > Wizkid thinks jacket is good taste
Don’t toss and turn all night thinking about this, but you might have bad taste.
you could fit so much weed inside that bad boy hell you could fit a whole bong in there

New Coke
It was actually a big blunder to introduce 'new coke' and the outcry from consumers let to an increased demand towards the classic coke, which eventually increased sales.
Nice one, Coca-cola...
lotta thoughts on this being a conspiracy to boost sales.
Loss creates longing they say, or at least my high school girlfriend said that .

Company: Nintendo
Year introduced: 1995
What it was: Portable game console
Virtual Boy was game console maker Nintendo’s early foray into virtual reality technology. However, the company discontinued the portable console less than a year after its 1995 release, selling just 770,000 units globally. It is known as one of the company’s worst failures. To cut costs and reduce battery drain, Nintendo used only black and red shades in Virtual Boy games, which bothered some users. Using the Virtual Boy also caused eye strain in some users, which led Nintendo to include an automatic shutoff mechanism.
I mean, not really that portable, not gameboy portable. Had minimial games too, and was just in red and black as stated.
Kinda the trifecta of NTDOY's misstep with the Super Mario movie and not locking up the deal with Sony for a disk game system.
Jokes on you, my sealed product is worth more than your PS4. Calc that IRR and suck it.

Invested in a product dev/prototyping company. Sometimes they end up working with ex-dr's/lawyers/etc... that are bored/semi-retired an have way too much money to burn.
My favorite so far is someone who had them do a weighted drink bottle you could workout with but when the liquid is depleted (as you drink) it throws things off completely obviously. They brought this up with the guy right away but he still ordered a FUCK TON of product. He couldn't give it away and I guess it went to the dump. He refused to listen initially and just YOLO'd on the initial purchase order.

Lmao Walter White type beat
lmao someone threw MS at it, meaning they are a fan of the Aztek
I remember this looking so bad when it came out. Nowadays with all the crossovers and hatchbacks on the road? It actually looks better / more functional than those.
I don't understand why they make this product so big its like trying to put a fedora on my pinky :(
I'd say it's actually a genius marketing move. If you can't have a bigger dick why not buy a bigger condom. Or it's to show off to all the ladies in CVS.
Take a page from Frank Reynold's book
i use these....normal condoms are too small and don't fit on me
Virtual Toy Ping Pong by Sharper Image. It does not work, seriously; buy one and tell me otherwise - just keep your receipt. If that’s not going to happen, please at least Google it’s ASIN ‘B07BRH8VPT’ and read the first (Top) review, by Cody97, on Amazon.
Zima - It actually didn't taste that bad if I remember it.

Part of the 90s “clear craze” that also birthed Crystal Pepsi and Tab Clear, this non-beer alcoholic bottled beverage was designed to compete with the successful wine cooler category. It was reportedly lemon lime flavored and astoundingly managed to stay in production until 2008 when it was discontinued in the US.

This one was an unfortunate hit with hard-partying youths: booze and caffeine. It kept you drunk and wired for as long as you could stomach the dangerous beverage, which put more than a few consumers in the hospital. Maybe not technically a flop, because sales of the “blackout in a can” spiked when the FDA banned its original booze-and-caffeine formula (savvy consumers and speculators alike hastily stockpiled remaining cans) and the company released a caffeine-less formulation (currently available), it’s nonetheless a cautionary tale about over-innovating (and over-consuming).
Celsius, a small beverage producer, makes the the four loko without the alcohol. Its called Celsius Heat and is equivalent to about 3 cups of coffee in one can.
easier to mix with alcohol than four loko the other way I guess.
That shit was wild. I remember being older in college when they came out with a well established alcohol tolerance. They went down easily without any burn so I drank two while pre-gaming and walked to a party. I don't remember the party, getting home, or anything before waking up the next morning.
Yeah I remember on spring break one of my friends had like 3 upon waking up (beer bongs). I ended up drunk driving him to the hospital in the early afternoon after he fell head first into marble flooring.
I wonder if his harry potter scar has faded over the years.
We can't forget ... the KFC doubledown!! I've actually eaten one of these... after a heavy training session... it was a bit much -

Does it come with a free trip to the hospital as well to unclog your arteries?
Ate one, once. Never felt so ashamed afterwards, but it did taste quite delicious.

How has nobody yet mentioned the worst product of all time. HeadOn couldn't make any sort of medical claims because it did literally nothing, but it did win by having possibly the worst commercial of all time:
