Arch Deluxe (1996)
It's McDonald's largest flop.
Facing pressure from BK, McD made an "adult" burger: patty on potato-flour bun w/ lettuce leaf (not shredded), tomato + fancy mustard.
It failed after $100m in ad spend (the ad copy had children criticizing the "adult" taste). pic.twitter.com/yi3b1Ycjdx

Colgate Frozen Beef Lasagna (early 1980s)
The Museum of Failure can't confirm whether or not this *actually* existed (Colgate says "no"). If true, one of the more ludicrous product crossovers ever LOL. pic.twitter.com/rB1C7CPboI

Nike Magneto (1995-97)
Nike created a pair of futuristic sunglasses that didn't have temples (the part that goes over your ear).
One big catch: to wear them you had to glue frickin magnets on your face so the shades could clip on. pic.twitter.com/MmqZxpcwV9
