5 products that failed and 5 that I think might fail later on.TRANSCRIPT

“Touch of Yogurt Shampoo” is a shampoo product made by
Clairol, that is made out of yogurt. This product failed the
marketplace because people didn’t like the idea of washing their
hair out of yogurt and some people actually tried eating the
product which made them very sick.
“Life Savers Soda” was a pop made by the same company
who invented the candy and thought it would be a good idea
to make a pop out of the popular candy for a hot summer
day. The product did do well in taste tests but the consumers
said “the Life Savers name gave them, the impression they
would be drinking liquid candy”
When the company decided to make the product “Frito Lay
Lemonade” they thought that eating their salty chips, you
would need a nice drink to go along with it. But the people
did not think the same way they were, they think of chips
when they hear the companies name not lemonade.
The company that came up with this thought that since
people treat their pets so well that people would serve their
animals water from a bottle. The company made both “Thirsty
Dog” and “Thirsty Cat”, which came in beef and fish favors.
They made this product so the customers can eat their
Colgate food then after brush their teeth with Colgate
toothpaste. People didn’t think the food would taste that good
since it was a toothpaste company.
What is spray-on fabrics?
Spray-on fabric was made by a British company that formed
a way to liquefy and combined fibers to spray right onto your
body and stick. In my opinion I don’t this is going to
last that long in the marketplace
because the thought of spraying on because the thought of spraying on
your clothes in the morning is weird
and I don’t know if it would last a
full day and not come off.
This boat is made out of 12,500 recycled plastic bottles from
all over the world and recyclable materials. When
Rothschild's found out that America alone uses over 8.7
million bottles, it gave him the idea to make something
useful out of them, taking him four months to sail.
Why might it fail?
In my opinion I think this
might fail because people
might think its not strong
enough and would prefer
to have it made from
something we know can
hold.
What is the square?
The square is something that attaches to your iPhone and lets
you read your credit card and purchase items. As soon as
your done it will email you a receipt, without using paper.
Why I think it might fail?
I think this might not last
because I cant see people pulling
this out every time they buy
something and so many people
still prefer to use cash instead of
credit online.
Looxcie is something that attaches to your ear and is a tiny
video camera that lets you have your hands free at all times.
In my opinion I don’t think I would like to
have a camera right on my ear filming, I
rather have the camera in my hands. And rather have the camera in my hands. And
if you move your head or turn the camera
will move off the thing your filming.
The Power-Aware Cord is a cord that you can actually see the
power going through into your objects. This is because the cord
sends out pulses of light so you can see the electricity being put
out (the more brighter the more current). They're hoping that
when people see how much their using they might start cutting
down.
Why do I think this cord will fail?
In my opinion I think its cool that you
can see the energy that your using but
I don’t think that people will always be
checking out their cords to see the
light that its showing. It’s a good idea
but I don’t think its going to save that
much energy.
