10 Famous Product Failures and the Advertisements That Did Not Sell Them - by Andrew Bordeaux/GrowThink Blog

Note: this Blog is from 2007

It was mentioned in the article about Netflix cancelling Quikster.

Also, some of the YouTube videos in the Blog are no longer active because the accounts have been cancelled.

Still a fun trip down memory lane.

Wow the 63 year old grandma in the Betamax commercial looks older than my 90+ year grandparents. I guess 83 is the new 63.
