View Full Version : What Were These companies Thinking With These Ideas/Products?
Janice Johnson 09-25-2009, 05:15 PM LOL:lol: Coca-Cola is the CREAM of bad ideas/products...... They used to ACTUALLY put Cocaine in their drinks!:crazy: :rolleyes: :eek: Then, they made "new Coke"(even though no one asked them too). The customers HATED the "New Coke" and DEMANDED that they go back to "regular" Coke(which they obliged).....:p
Lysol is next on the list. They ACTUALLY sold Lysol as a feminine mask odor spray!:eek: I don't really have to say that this was a bad idea, do I?:p

Janice 09-25-2009, 09:49 PM I still haven't recovered from the Snuggie. I saw the new leopard one. I may get that for Solomon for Christmas. I know what a fan he is of Snuggies. :lol: LOL @ that cartoon.

I know. :lol:
I still can't believe they made a snuggie. I mean all it is, is a bathrobe turned backwards. :lol:
Chocoholic 09-25-2009, 10:11 PM I have something similar to the Snuggie that my mom gave me as a gag gift last Christmas and it's actually quite nice. It's a blanket with a few snap buttons on it. I like it better than a bathrobe.

Kills me that Momar Kadaffe (pardon the spelling since I always have called the guy Daffy Duck) was heard criticizing the West, yet he was wearing his Snuggie while giving the speech! lol

LOL - I've got a purple electric one! It's just you need one of those whopping orange outdoor extension cords if you need to go to the local variety store for something. ;)

I'm sorry. Did that caption in the ad say, "relaxation?" :crazy: Coca-Cola put CAFFEINE and COCAINE together in the same drink..... With SUGAR! That's not relaxation at all!:crazy: :lol: :rolleyes: That's more like hyper jumping around like a damned kangaroo!:lol: :crazy:

Coke was first made in the 1880's by Joseph Pemberton, a chap from Georgia. Traces of cocaine were removed by 1903. So it's been cocaine free for over 100 years.

For sure. Actually, there were other "soft" drinks that also contained cocaine. They just knew it made you feel good.
It's getting to the point with these energy drinks that they're not far off and also contain a lot of garbage not good for you. I hate them anyway.
catlover79 09-27-2009, 11:11 PM I guess you could say the same thing for the makers of the Chia Pet and the Clapper. But hey, someone must be buying them because they're still around how many years later. :lol:
biffbronson 09-28-2009, 12:16 PM My niece wanted a Clapper among her Christmas wish list items. That always reminds me of the clap that blew up the house on Home Improvement!
littlebelle 09-28-2009, 12:27 PM Lol you guys are funny. My mom bought me a snuggie.... the leopard print one.... have to say, I love it.

Janice Johnson 09-29-2009, 11:42 AM Ahh, the 50's where you got your milk delivered right to your door! :)
biffbronson 10-02-2009, 05:02 PM Yes! And my family was still having milk delivered into the very early 1970s. We had an insulated box that sat by the house's back door. I think my dad gave the box to the Historical Society years ago...
One of my older brother's earliest memories is that of going out to the box in the morning and accidentally shattering one of the glass milk bottles.
Our next-door neighbors' box was built into the exterior wall of their house. I think they could get their dairy products from an inside door to it (milkman delivered to its outside door).

Could someone please explain to me the purpose of a Chia Pet? You spread an oily paste all over it to watch it grow into...a plastic porcupine? :rolleyes: :lol:

A couple of years ago, some of my co-workers gave one of our supervisors a Chia Shrek for Christmas. He actually kept it on his desk for awhile and eventually gave it to another one of my co-workers. :lol: Chia has the market cornered on Christmas gag gifts. :rofl:
