No.1 should be Obamacare.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial for Atari.

It was so bad it actually caused Atari to go bankrupt.

Millions of cartridges are actually buried in the desert.

A good friend of mine literally was the last person to leave the office and turned off the lights. He took me out to the desert where the cartridges are buried.

The IBM PC Jr. should be in there somewhere.

I forgot about WOW! chips. Tried some, no problems with me gastro-intestinal-wise, but I could eat a battleship and just burp.

2. TouchPad

...especially if you got "Lawsoned"

[mountn man]

No.1 should be Obamacare.

Do you really think its a flop?

I think its doing EXACTLY what its intended.

[Billthedrill]

Oh, my no - there's a product that has reviews MUCH worse than any of these.

Diet Haribo Gummy Bears.

[posterchild]

I always thought the ‘new coke’ thing was just a successful marketing tactic. I presumed they were hoping for exactly the response they got - having their customers clamor for their product and have widespread publicity.

[Pelham]

The Edsel. Ridiculed for looking like ‘a Mercury kissing a toilet seat’. It never recovered.

[Billthedrill]

My bad - THIS is actually the reviews page. Enjoy!

[MrB]

I have a sixpack, unopened, of Coors sparkling water - if there are any collectors out there that are interested...

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Segway needs to be on there.

[MrB]

You should go read the amazon reviews on fat free gummy bears.

[tacticalogic]

IBM’s Micro Channel Architecture.

[MrB]

I believe it was fully intended to take the health insurance away from responsible people who were paying for their own insurance.

[Dr. Thorne]

Beta Max!

[Doogle]

..neighbors dog stole mine and buried it somewhere...

[Diana in Wisconsin]

If someone would bring back, ‘Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific’ shampoo, they would make a KILLING! Also, bring back the ORIGINAL scent of ‘Herbal Essence’ shampoo.

Why they mess with a good thing is beyond me! :)

[Tallguy]

What about the Iridium satellite phones? For the shear magnitude of the investment that has to be the biggest product flop of all-time — excepting Obamacare, of course.
