If you had to name the worst product flops ever, what would they be? Would they be beauty products? Maybe something for the home, your car, your person? There have been many products out in the market, but not all of them were successful. Check out the 25 worst products flops you might remember.
Have you ever seen these late-night infomercials and thought to yourself “who would buy that?”. Well, you’re not the only one. Companies and inventors have come up with some bizarre products that for whatever reason consumers didn’t quite appreciate. And it’s not just in infomercials, major companies like soft drink and fast food companies have come up with products that may sound good on paper, but in practice tanked miserably. Check out the worst product flops ever (and our photo credits and sources) and let us know in the comments below if you would buy these products:

Have you heard of Orbitz soda? Don’t be surprised if you haven’t because it was a major flop and was quickly taken off the market. The same goes for “Pepsi A.M.”, McDonald’s Arch Deluxe, and the Coors Rocky Mountain Spring Water. But it’s not just food items that flopped, there’s also things like the Sony Betamax (remember that?), HD-DVD, The Nook, and more! Check out the 25 worst product flops you might remember.

Had the original Nook and traded it for the Nook Color. If the browser had been better, I'd still be using it. I use my Ipad daily, but it's hard to beat the Nook for reading. No glare, and the contrast is better. It really was a good device for its intended use--reading.

The worst product flop I've ever heard of was a different ketchup--Hunt's pizza flavored ketchup, which was introduced around the beginning of 1965. The product was a flop from the start, but one of the Hunt's executives was convinced that it just needed more time, so they kept pushing it. Finally, in the summer of that year, came the notorious riots in the Watts neighborhood of L.A. The riots devastated the community, with the rioters burning whole blocks and looting everything lootable. All except one thing--in supermarkets that were otherwise stripped completely bare, the pizza-flavored ketchup was left untouched. This finally convinced Hunt's to kill the product.

I had a zune, that thing was awesome! Build quality was bulletproof, it was easy to use, had a nice big screen, and my favorite - you could wirelessly share your music to other people's zunes. It worked like nfc where the zunes had to be in close contact. The marketplace had all kinds of music you couldn't find anywhere else too. The zune social was kind of weird though, in an era where Myspace was dying. Zune software was also more user friendly than iTunes and integrated with smartphones better once they came along. I got lucky because a lot of people I knew and were friends with had zunes so we all got the chance to use them to their full potential.

@kirkboo10 5 лет назад

The Zune was technically superior to the iPod at the time. It had a feature where you could share music wirelessly between devices. It was the first unlimited subscription service. The software didn’t force you to copy files into its format like apple, thus taking up double the space on your computer. Zune was the best.

@Katness07 Год назад

Yes! And, if the hard drive broke, it could be easily replaced, with just a little work. My son was 15 or so when he started replacing our broken hard drives. (Before solid state hard drives)

@angrycat3525 5 лет назад

Don't forget the Atari 5200, which I ended up being a sucker for. Only had about 6 games available (although the quality easily surpassed anything offered for the 2600), and the controller's membrane buttons would stick or just not work, and replacements were expensive. It could've been something amazing, but wasn't.

I'm a generation older - 35 when you were minus 1 - so I can remember quadraphonic sound, nehru jackets, the McDLT, zip drives, laser disks, and smell-o-vision (aka Aroma-rama). Most of these died either because they were too expensive or the technology that birthed them was evolving too rapidly. Except for nehru jackets. They were just dumb. McDLT was phased out because of excessive packaging waste.

@mandisaplaylist 5 лет назад

7:00 Wrong. Betamax died because Sony failed to understand how a "normal TV user" would use a video recorder. The major error was that they were thinking 1 hour of recording time is enough. And to add salt to the wound, Sony refused to let anyone else manufacture the format. The competing VHS was licensed to anyone interested and the cassette was big enough to hold 4 hours of tape. And, since "normal TV user" wanted to timeshift TV programs, 4 hour recording time was much better for that purpose than 1 hour. See video of Technology Connections about the topic.

I own both models of the N-Gage. The model shown was the second version. If Nokia started with that, it could have been a hit, but the first model created the "looks like a taco" press. You also had to remove the back to swap out the games on the first model. It had online and bluetooth, which I enjoyed and it was a solid product. It still works today!

I love how Coke still insists New Coke tasted better than Classic. That was *not* the experience I had. A truck set up outside of the local pool, and offered free samples in little paper cups. My friends and I were actually pretty excited. We stood in line and grabbed our sample. We even made a toast. Then we tasted it. It was like flat Pepsi at best. We thought maybe we got a cup from a 2-liter that had been opened for awhile, so we bought a can. Nope! Still the same sticky mess. It re-affirmed my love for Dr. Pepper.

@Bishop Dong Magic Shlong, I'll soon be 66 years old. I suspect that might be the reason our Boomer generation turned out the way we did, what with the "Summer of Love", and all that... We were all drugged by our Mothers on Coke in our formative years. I guess that makes sense by the fact that the narcotic compound was created by a pharmacist, John Pemberton. We had a Coke machine in the hallway outside of my second grade classroom. Our whole school lined up with their nickles when the bell rang for recess.

@americanvalorpatriot3689 5 лет назад

I remember Orbitz . I was curious and I tried four flavours of the Beverage. It was "interesting" as the flavours were vague and I could not shake the " drinking pond water with frog eggs in it sensation". Weird and I do not miss this Beverage. I also remember Jolt Cola - fondly despite the fact I am not one to drink a lot of soda . I liked the rush I got from drinking Jolt . Also, does anyone remember that Crank 2- O Caffeine "Fortified " water Beverage that I think debuted in the mid-Nineties ? I remember a Friend who made "special" coffee using Crank 2-O and how He described that He felt "like He was hovering whilst standing " after drinking the "special coffee". Before He discovered how this coffee would effect Him ,He offered me some and I respectfully declined with a "NOPE , I'm not trying THAT !". I did drink just the Caffeinated water out of curiosity and felt wired like as if I drank three-four cups of strong coffee and did not want to drink that water again. I don't believe that my Friend did that again as the caffeine high was quite unpleasant - jitters , nervousness and being too wound up to relax.

They were still on the market early on in the war in Iraq/Afghanistan. The hard drive in the Zune's made them far sturdier than the electronic components in iPads. Zunes could withstand a literal maelstrom of chaos and make it back home in one piece. It was also far easier to store pictures and videos. Unfortunately, those qualities weren't nearly as important to the rest of the market at the time.

14. JVC gave licence to other brands to produce recorders while Sony kept the production to themselves. Result, many times more VHS recorders were on the marker than Betamax

@abigllama 6 лет назад

The reason in the video is definitely wrong. I always heard the sort of urban legend that it was porn that tipped the scale and this made me check it out. You're right and while Sony did license out it was very restrictive. When the cost of the VHS players dropped to about $400 around '84ish making them an appliance rather than a luxury, the more superior Beta players were still at about $1k or more. The porn industry and video store shelves adapted to what customers wanted based on the machines they bought. Remember video stores being about half Beta and have VHS at a time, then the Beta section slowly shrinking until it was a small shelf.

@video99couk 6 лет назад

In the UK, the number one selling video recorder in 1983 was the Sanyo VTC5000 (outselling every VHS machine), followed by the VTC5150 in 1984. Cost £249, so cheaper than most equivalent VHS machines. They were also very reliable. But let's not forget, domestic Beta moved on to professional Betacam, BetacamSP, Digital Betacam, HDCAM, whereas all VHS-based professional formats (MII for example) flopped. Professional Beta decks are still in use in studios around the world even today, and some still fetch serious money. Beta outlived VHS, and Sony made more money from Beta than anyone ever did from VHS. He who laughs last...

@mass4552 6 лет назад

The best VHS machine ever produced was made by Mitsubishi. Exceptional video and audio on par with any Beta machine. But the price was out of this world. I … had a friend (yea that's it) that bought one new and it was still going strong after 14 years before I lost...he lost it in a move.

@matts1166 6 лет назад

The biggest limiting factor of Beta was that the tapes were significantly shorter than VHS. It was impossible to put many full-length motion pictures on a single Beta cassette.

@TwoTonedT 6 лет назад

I had a Betamax and eventhough the had a converter that you could place the small tape into a VHS sized one was ingenious but it still never really took off. I was sad to see it go.

E.T. happened to be a game that Howard Warshaw was forced to make in 5 weeks to be released at Christmas. The NES breathed new life into gaming, but to say E.T. killed Atari is very uneducated. Not saying that in an insulting way. Some people just go by the urban myth. People should watch Atari: Game Over. Great documentary which gives you the story of Atari, its end, and finally sheds light on the E.T. desert burial. It wasn't just E.T. games that was diacarded by Atari. It was tons of stuff in a warehouse and as all trash in the area....was taken to a landfill.

It was funny when you mentioned the Zune -- I've got mine right here, beside me! I bought it second hand from eBay, and after I learned how to REALLY turn it off, it's been great. It's not very intuitive on how to turn it off -- it's got no actual, dedicated on-off button. Not knowing how to turn it off completely, all I could do was "pause" it, so next time I'd want to use it, it'd be out of power. I had to look up online how to turn it off properly! Some of those products you mentioned (okay, most of them) sound truly heinous, esp the colored ketchup -- ew! Glad I never saw those, cuz Heinz is the best ketchup of all and I would've really grossed out seeing these odd colors.

also another reason Betamax lost out to vhs was down to Sony not allowing porn videos on the format and JVC didn't care which amazingly helped! Sony also didn't allow porn on Blu-ray either but when the porn industry adopted hd-dvd Sony gave in and allowed porn on Blu-ray but only in the USA

Has any media medium without porn been successful? I think I read that the number one use for the Gutenberg printing press was the Bible, and number 2 was porn.

@MadetoRamble 5 лет назад

sadly, that's not at all true. Despite popular belief almost all of the first porn "videos" were released exclusive on BetaMax, not VHS. One of the major reasons why Beta failed was because they were very slow to release blank video tapes that could record for longer than an hour. VHS jumped on long format videotapes very early, and just beat them to the market

That's a myth! Sony imposed no restrictions on porn for Betamax, there was plenty of porn released on the format. I found a handful of 80s hardcore porn movies while going through my father's Betamax collection (he says he got them for free and only kept the tapes to use for recording over...... seems he never did though.......) VHS didn't become popular because of porn. Porn became more prevalent on VHS because VHS was *already* more popular.

Oh! I had a Zune! I guess it was just a bit ahead of its time because that concept is exactly how companies like RU-vid Premium, Pandora, and Spotify operate today. On the iPod, you paid per download (or at least you were supposed to) but then the song was forever yours. On the Zune, you paid a monthly subscription but you had access to just about any song you can think of.

Then too somethings are fairly regional then "take off" to wider audience, Reese's Pieces are an example: Before the movie "E.T.", 99% of North America never even heard of them, But being that I'm in Pennsylvania (home of the Hershey company), We had them for about 5 years before the movie.

I remember the evolution of Coke. The old Coke, back in the 60s and 70s, was tangy and delicious, and made you high if you drank it with an aspirin! Eventually Coke changed and the special glow was taken out. Then New Coke came along. I carefully examine the ingredients and found the difference. Sugar was replaced by corn sweetener. When Coke Classic hit the shelves, I noticed that the corn sweetener was still present and there was no sugar at all. I thought, and still think, it was a planned trick all along to cut cost corners by transitioning to corn sweetener in a way that might possibly fool the consumer.

'Atari' had been sold to Warner Bothers by the time of Pac Man and the awful E.T. games. Nolan Bushnell established Atari in the mid 70's and employed the best and brightest in technology and game design. These gifted employees tended to work very odd hours, but they delivered the goods. To help fund the 2600 video machine production, Bushnell sold out to Warners. The corporate double breasted grey suits who took over couldn't come to terms with the eccentric people who were at Atari under Bushnell, and most of the best left for pastures new. You don't encourage creativity with orthodoxy and strict 9 - 5 rules. This is still a mindset which stifles some elements of modern life.....

The PS2 came with no DVD remote, that was sold separately, but as they should have done, all the DVD functions could also be controlled via the game controller. It didn't take long to memory which buttons did what. Due to the remotes being sold separately, it turned out to be very cheap to replace a damaged remote. However, I still do not have a PS3 nor PS4, as whatever happened to the video games? Where are the fun and whimsical games? The video game market has moved too much towards serious gamers and left us older amateurs behind. TVs recently have seriously shortchanged us in the very limited number of ports to connect things, and so why waste valuable space on a DVD player that yawn, only plays DVDs? So now I have around a half dozen bluray discs and nothing to play them upon. My first Macintosh could play CDs, as I had no other CD player at the time.
