0:04
counting down our picks for the top 10
0:07
products that bomb so hard they
0:09
destroyed the company I like to say boom
0:12
boom boom for this list we’ll be looking
0:15
at products that fail to sell and
0:17
consequently ruin the company behind
0:19
them do you remember any of these are
0:21
there any you actually miss let us know
0:24
in the comments below number 10 Peak I
0:27
mean honestly what would you rather
0:28
carry around all day this monstrosity or
0:31
something like this 2008 was a bad year
0:34
to release an email only handheld device
0:37
the iPhone was released just one year
0:40
prior and it could do a heck of a lot
0:42
more than send emails yet in September
0:45
of 2008 Peak Inc released a handheld
0:48
email device that seemed positively
0:51
quaint compared to the Sleek shiny and
0:53
futuristic iPhone it received a strong
0:56
reception and was even named Gadget of
0:59
the Year by time and wired it most of
1:02
all lets your phone do what your phone
1:03
is good for making phone calls it’s not
1:05
like you’re walking around with a Pam
1:07
Sanders pressed to your head but it
1:09
floundered next to the far superior
1:11
iPhone causing future iterations to add
1:14
the likes of Twitter and Facebook it was
1:17
far too late however the product was
1:19
dead by 2012 and Peak Inc is now long
1:22
forgotten number nine juicero press
1:25
what’s this to do Sarah I don’t I’m
1:29
sorry I don’t know what that word means
1:30
it’s a new zero this device was like a
1:32
combination of Keurig and hellofresh and
1:35
aspired to revolutionize the juicing
1:37
industry rather than buying and
1:39
preparing the ingredients yourself
1:41
juicero sold single serve packets on a
1:44
subscription basis the packets contain
1:46
prepared fruits and vegetables which
1:49
promise to make the juicing process
1:50
easier and faster takes out the middle
1:53
man it takes out the shopping I have to
1:56
shop for all this stuff
1:58
bring it back chop it wash it and then
2:02
eventually juice it however the Press
2:04
itself was completely unnecessary as
2:07
juicing could easily be done by hand
2:09
critics also contended that it was
2:12
grossly overpriced in part due to
2:14
over-engineering the high cost of the
2:17
device and subscription compounded by
2:19
the negative publicity meant that
2:21
juicero’s Revenue stream quickly dried
2:23
up I think that juicero was killed in
2:26
the first inning
2:28
right and you know normally a baseball
2:30
game is nine innings this was killed in
2:32
the first inning number eight the zip 22
2:35
pistol the U.S Firearms manufacturing
2:38
company made a name for itself producing
2:40
old-fashioned cult revolvers and
2:42
carbines these guns can be seen in
2:45
prominent western films including 310 to
2:48
Yuma
2:51
but in 2011 the company decided to
2:54
abandon their Western theme and began
2:56
production on the much maligned USFA zip
2:59
22. the semi-automatic pistol was
3:02
considered Innovative but many consumers
3:04
reported mechanical problems with the
3:07
gun word quickly got around and the gun
3:09
was discontinued just one year after it
3:12
was introduced its failure caused the
3:14
U.S Firearms manufacturing company to go
3:18
out of business
3:19
number seven dig Once Upon a Time dig
3:23
was one of the biggest names on the
3:25
internet a news aggregator with a unique
3:28
upvote system dig is the main progenitor
3:31
of Reddit which styled itself after the
3:33
popular website but everything changed
3:36
in 2010 the site was completely
3:39
redesigned and co-founders Jay Adelson
3:41
and Kevin Rose left the company Not only
3:44
was the new design widely hated but its
3:47
launch was marred by widespread bugs and
3:50
performance issues furthermore dig was
3:53
hit with increased competition including
3:55
the aforementioned Reddit and a rapidly
3:57
growing Facebook Diggs user base
4:00
dramatically plummeted and in 2012 it
4:03
was sold off in parts for just over 15
4:05
million dollars number six quibby Madam
4:10
president the asteroids impact is
4:11
imminent how long do we have two three
4:14
quibby’s tops for those unaware quibby
4:16
was a streaming service designed for
4:18
smartphones the promise was Monumental
4:21
but most interestingly each film will be
4:24
full screen no matter which way up you
4:27
hold your phone and no matter when you
4:30
switch between orientations big names
4:32
were attached to make content for the
4:35
service and the company had raised
4:37
almost 2 billion dollars in Investments
4:39
so why did quibby fail let us count the
4:42
ways kofit lockdowns kept people inside
4:45
and watching TV not their phones Tick
4:48
Tock dominates the short form video
4:50
market and doesn’t cost a dime whereas
4:52
quibby was five dollars a month with ads
4:55
marketing was confusing and limited and
4:58
its exclusive content was unmemorable
5:00
some of that original content cost
5:03
upwards of a hundred thousand dollars
5:05
per minute to produce quibby lasted just
5:07
eight months launching in April 2020 and
5:10
dissolving that December number five
5:13
eons.com Jeff Taylor Made a monster of a
5:17
website with well monster com at one
5:20
point monster was the name in job search
5:23
engines but they can’t all be winners
5:26
and like a disappointing sophomore album
5:28
Taylor also made eons from this moment
5:31
with eons.com you’ll see more you’ll
5:34
learn more and you’ll be more launched
5:36
in 2006 eons was a social networking
5:38
site similar to Facebook but catered to
5:41
people over 40. ems.com will allow
5:43
members to create Pages similar to
5:45
Myspace with profiles and pictures of
5:48
themselves but the site is playing down
5:50
the social networking aspect instead
5:52
emphasizing inspirational articles and
5:55
tools never heard of it exactly the site
5:58
was a total failure and it was bought
6:00
out just five years after its launch it
6:03
was taken fully offline in 2012 as it
6:07
was unable to meet the financial
6:08
requirements of its service provider
6:11
number four movie pass there was a great
6:15
idea behind movie pass as the theater
6:18
going experience has grown own
6:19
significantly more expensive MoviePass
6:22
promised an alternative users would pay
6:25
a monthly subscription fee and in return
6:27
receive a certain amount of movie
6:29
tickets while the service launched in
6:31
2011 it didn’t attain widespread
6:34
popularity until 2017 when new owners
6:37
lowered subscription fees to ten dollars
6:40
a month winning millions of new
6:42
subscribers using the MoviePass app and
6:45
card subscribers can see up to 31 new
6:48
movies a month for the price of a single
6:50
ticket or less when that wasn’t enough
6:52
to offset cost CEO Mitch Lowe ordered
6:55
employees to reset the passwords of the
6:58
most active users the company went
7:00
bankrupt in 2020 and low-faced charges
7:03
from the Federal Trade Commission for
7:05
his actions as of writing the company’s
7:08
original owner was relaunching the
7:10
company so we’ll see if MoviePass 2.0
7:13
has more luck this new version will
7:15
include all major theaters that accept
7:18
major credit cards country so it sounds
7:20
pretty exciting number three Friendster
7:22
launched in 2003 Friendster was a
7:25
Pioneer in social networking online
7:28
Friendster had already accrued over 3
7:31
million users before Myspace and
7:33
Facebook even went online it’s really
7:36
beautiful you can see how much work went
7:38
into by 2008 Friendster was being used
7:40
by a hundred and fifteen million people
7:43
but Facebook was rising in popularity
7:46
and revolutionizing social media and
7:48
Friendster couldn’t keep up the business
7:51
was soon bought out by a Malaysian
7:52
company named mol Global who turned it
7:55
into a gaming site this meant that
7:57
Friendster no longer had to compete with
7:59
Facebook but regardless the site shut
8:01
down in 2015. the company followed suit
8:05
three years later there’s just no
8:07
competing with the behemoths number two
8:10
the de Havilland Comet British company
8:12
De Havilland was the biggest name in
8:15
aviation at the beginning of the 20th
8:17
century they produced many notable
8:19
aircraft including the world’s first
8:21
commercial airliner the de Havilland
8:23
Comet the airplane made its first flight
8:25
on July 27 1949 and officially debuted
8:30
in 1952 unfortunately problems with the
8:33
airframe resulted in three highly
8:35
publicized crashes amid the bad
8:38
publicity de Havilland had to withdraw
8:40
its plane from service other
8:42
manufacturers like Boeing and Douglas
8:45
learned from the comet’s failure and
8:46
were able to overtake the havaland in
8:49
the market the company was bought out in
8:51
1960 and went defunct three years later
8:54
sometimes it doesn’t pay to be a
8:56
Trailblazer the shock
8:59
as I recall it
9:01
throughout the whole company at every
9:03
level

9:24
DeLorean the DeLorean is now an iconic
9:28
car thanks to Back to the Future in
9:30
which it’s used as a time machine
9:34
party you made it yeah welcome to my
9:38
latest experiment this is a big one the
9:39
one I’ve been waiting for all my life uh
9:42
well it’s a DeLorean share with me Marty
9:44
all your questions will be answered but
9:45
this is a strong example of look don’t
9:48
touch when the DeLorean was introduced
9:51
in 1981 it drew intense criticism the
9:55
build quality was poor it suffered
9:57
widespread mechanical issues and its
9:59
performance was disappointing for a
10:01
sports car that came with a premium
10:03
price tag basically everything about it
10:06
sucked DMC only sold a few thousand
10:09
Deloreans and production halted after
10:12
less than two years the company went
10:14
bankrupt and its product is now
10:16
considered to be one of the worst cars
10:19
ever made Drive the DeLorean
