IMO, Siz: (http://lileks.com/institute/gallery/bbtrix/4.html) should be at the top of the list.

So, what do you think is the worst product ever?
Wow! This stuff looks great, where can I get some?


It is near unanimous in the United States that the answer is the Edsel.

Can you find a picture of that for me? I've never seen one.


BTW, that's what my husband said about Siz. He is attempting to track down a can.

The Edsel:



The name "Edsel" was the name of one of Henry Ford's children. But I believe Robert MacNamara was responsible for the Edsel (along with some other, later gaffs in a much higher position).

I've never heard of that. The worst drink ever was Sprite Ice.
Whoever thought of making mint flavoured sprite must have be insane.
