[ QUOTE ] all you've made of yourself is being a guy aruging on a message board? [/ QUOTE ] I dont really dont read too much a OOT anymore, but when I did, I remember liking your posts, not so much for the content but for the tone. As far as your post, you really think you should be throwing stones? [/ QUOTE ] Alright, alright, guys. Let's stop getting excited over varying definitions of "flop" and get back to New Coke. |

Re: Biggest consumable flop
[ QUOTE ]
a few years back Jack in the Box tried a couple of concept restaurants called JBX. basically they just classed up a Jack in the Box with a similar menu, but fancier ingredients. like if you ordered a burger you'd get a full kaiser roll and nice thick beef patty. the decour of the places was pretty nice too - one had a fireplace. I really enjoyed my experience the one time I went. anyway, they're gone now. [/ QUOTE ] That was a test, not a real rollout of anything new. But, I'm guessing it's a test that failed since they haven't done anything with the idea. |

[ QUOTE ] But I have to consider the Segway. I remember reading news articles on how we'd be re-designing cities and entire communities would pop up to support this new revolutionary new gadget/transportation mode. News on it was everywhere at the time. Personally, I think the invention was pretty ingenious and Dean Kamen is a genius of our age. But given all the hype, this thing was a huge flop. [/ QUOTE ] I think the Segway will become increasingly important/popular as time goes on. [/ QUOTE ] After we colonize the moon? |

Like the one off of Del Mar Heights Road, for those in San Diego. |

I never made my way down there, but I definitely heard about it when I was working on advertising for Taco Bell. Actually, reading Wikipedia, they were called JBX Grill and there were 2 in San Diego, 1 in Bakersfield, and 2 in Idaho. They only lasted for 2 years before they gave up on the idea. Apparently the one in Hillcrest still has lots of the JBX Grill look. I'll have to check it out. |

[/ QUOTE ] The Neo Geo home system could probably be seen as a flop. Just too expensive. However, they've had much success with the arcade versions. You will still find a Neo Geo arcade system at a lot of places. |
