Product flops
Lauren's post about the Golden Arches and the subsequent comment about the McRib has me thinking about all the "limited edition" stuff that has been pitched to us over the years. While there have been some *gulp* successes (like the McRib, apparently, since I drive by signs that read "McRib is back!" from time to time), there have been some flops. Flops are funny. So let's discuss...
McDonald's has had their fare (couldn't resist) share of failed product launches. Here are some that come to mind: Lite Mac, McSwiss, Arch Deluxe, etc... The list goes on. Anyone want to wash a McDLT down with a Crystal Pepsi? Anyone? Anyone? How about a New Coke?
What food flops are burned into your brain? Anything that should be brought back? I'm still wondering what crime a canister of Cheez Balls ever committed. Hear that, Planters? Bring 'em back!
