Top 10 Bad Beverage Ideas

The frightful thing in America is that we will buy almost ANYTHING, at least for a while. You could market "Microwaveable Frickaseed Cat Crap" and some folks would buy it, try it, and try to act like it wasn't too bad. . . !


I still can't get over the success enjoyed (briefly) by "Pet Rocks".

I think I still have a package of Cat Crap in the freezer. Melt a couple American cheese slices on top and it ain't bad. :d
It's easy to write off the marketing people as idiots but for each of those products there was a high-paid executive who said, "Wow, that's a great idea!" :icon_lol:

for me, that was a real eye opener. when i saw all those people going out of their way to buy a rock i knew that if something was marketed properly, people truly would buy anything. a lesson i'll never forget.
 
is it like going to your local fitness club and at the lobby they sell fruitshake with protien, milk and carbonated drink? :bump:
 
they mention it being popular in japan, following up with a mention of a cheez flavored drink. trust me on this one - in japan, they eat and drink alot of weird stuff. my inlaws send a big box to the wife and kids about 4 times a year. it's full of stuff that continues to amaze me. i know better now than to think i've "seen it all"

why in the heck would someone make candy flavored like pickled plums?
why pickle a plum in the first place?
sometimes they send packages of these horrid crackers that, to my palate taste like a baby just threw up in my mouth.
they make these things that are supposed to be like a starburst, but taste and look like they stripped the sole from a converse all-star.
however, they do have candy that's really good, and the packaging can be quite entertaining. especially the one with the racoon that has giant testicles.
 
"the packaging can be quite entertaining. especially the one with the racoon that has giant testicles."

Cheezy,.....wow,....a packaged candy product displaying a raccoon with giant testicles. Heh-heh. I'd love to see that. Next time before you rip into another bag of this candy,.....maybe you can the scan the picture beforehand and up load it here.
And I always thought the Japanese were modest people when it came to displaying and conversing of various body parts. Course' this deals with a raccoons private parts,...not a human's. :icon_lol:

hahahahah, you are so right. Have you tasted their "seaweed cookies"??? . I like to go to a Japanese Market here and just laugh at the packaging and the stuff inside......but remember that in Ecuador, one of the main dishes of he country is indeed a very big guinea pig!!!!!!!..check it out...( if you want to try the recepy get one at your pet shop and feed it well for about 6 months, then cook!!!)
