As long as there are couple of threads on new cola flavors, we might as well add some not-so-fondly remembered products that were introduced with fanfare,that flopped miserably.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Licorice popsicles(turned your mouth, tongue and lips black and tasted terrible.) Now that I think of it, you looked like the women who wear black lipstick after you ate one.)
Hubba Bubba (a super-sickeningly sweet bubble gum) soda... pink, yet.
Peanut butter ice cream... sounds better than it tasted

For non-food products,:

Liquid solder... airplane glue with silver flakes in it... worked just like airplane glue, but you couldn't use it to solder
Spray can plastic shoe polish... introduced briefly in the 50's... just spray it on and your shoes looked they were patent leather. Put you shoes on and walk down town and they looked like patent leather shoes with cracks in the leather. Considering how popular "crackle" is as a finish in decorating these days, maybe this product can make a comeback... "crackle" shoe polish.

Anybody got any other product disasters they remember fondly. We can probably add blue Pepsi to that right now, and start getting nostalgic. :-)
