What's really hilarious is that Google bought the display technology from IBM. IBM made the optics with the little wearable projection screen but the computer electronics had to be in a box in your pocket because things were still too big. IBM was smart enough to figure out "this is cool but who'd want to wear this thing" and only made some specialized prototypes for the military. (Heads-up displays ended up easier for pilots, so...)They recouped the research costs selling it to google.

'New Coke' _never_ left! Coke lied to us all. They started making changes to save money. Coke switched from real sugar to the cheaper high fructose corn syrup. Look at the label, it still has sugar listed on it BUT it also, has HFC syrup. They _never_ brought back the original. Personally, I remember the taste, it was much better!. Also, at the time, some people had cans of the original Coke saved, there were taste tests, Coke ignored those folks & the complaints slowly died off over time. You are now drinking 'New Coke'. Hope this didn't ruin things for you. Have a nice night anyway. 🥂

I remember when they brought out New Coke. I kind of liked it better. It prompted me to buy a bunch of old coke in bottles as souvenirs since they were pulling the old stuff from the shelves. Apparently, they saw Pepsi taking a chunk out of their sales and also saw that Diet Coke was their number one seller. So, they reformulated Diet Coke with High Fructose Corn Syrup and gave us New Coke. I believe that later they reformulated it again to become Coke Zero but I could be wrong. The mistake they made wasn't putting out the new Coke it was in discontinuing Old Coke. They didn't take into account the diehard fans of the stuff. Had they brought out New Coke while keeping Classic around then they'd probably have been fine. The ultimate irony is that while it was a huge flop the return of Coke Classic actually boosted the company to what it is now. So, it's quite likely that New Coke actually was the blessing in disguise.

I had a roommate who thought New Coke was an intentional disaster. He said Coke purposely released it, willing to take the hit to sales and reputation, in order to reintroduce "Old" Coke (Classic) and see grateful consumers buying truckloads of it, happy to have it back again.

I must admit I did laugh out loud at the thought of Mr Segway being killed when he rode his Segway of a cliff by accident. I must be evil!

The arch deluxe was a good sandwich. I was like 10 or 11 years old when that sandwich came out

[@deandewitt5403]

And how about the McDLT? Hot on one side, cool on the other.

[@lisagulick4144]

I *loved* the Arch Deluxe. I worked for McDonald's at the time. Want to make your own? Potato-flour bun, peppered bacon...and Dijonnaise. That's what the secret sauce really was. Have fun bringing a good thing back - no corporate strong-arming involved. McDonald's *pizza,* on the other hand, was an epic fail.

When I would mention Microsoft Bob, people would look at me strange. Great to see it on the list!

[@KenDAKL4ever]

Don't forget the Amazon phone. And does anyone remember the MacDLT? Plus I liked the Arch Deluxe too!

[@WatchMojoLady]

The Arch Deluxe was D E L I C I O U S. I still don't get why it failed.

[@KenDAKL4ever]

@@WatchMojoLady it was good. Idk why it didn't take off either. Maybe if they had marketed better. I remember Ronald McDonald in the commercials dancing at the clubs. He grew up. Dumb.

It’s ironic that the Galaxy Note 7 ended up in number 7

[@earlduran6419]

Am I the only person that some SEGA products were not on this list?

[@hiflyer000]

Yeah, they had some epic failures like Sega CD and the Jaguar. Dreamcast was incredible and in my opinion, they pulled the plug on it way too soon.

[@earlduran6419]

@Lagoster, not only that but also there is no PSVITA by Sony and Xbox 360 kinect by Microsoft on this list.

Before we get to #1, I just want to say that it's got to be New Coke! it HAS to be New Coke!!!

Apple Maps is a service; not a product and it was improved immensely within months of the initial launch.

[@gregbrookman]

Sinclair C5 is definitely worth a mention too
