You can't make this shit up. quote: Cheetos Mystery Colorz: Frito-Lays Cheetos brand cheese snacks are already the best-selling cheese snack on the market (over $300 million in sales in 1999), and plans to keep its place with the introduction of Cheetos Mystery Colorz. The snack changes colors in your mouth, from its original cheesy orange to blue or green.
Also from the same site, failed products, ie: quote: Wine & Dine Dinners: Heublein, a wine and liquor importer and distributor, introduced this product in the mid-1970's. "Wine & Dine Dinners" came with pasta and sauce mix and a mini bottle of salted wine that was intended for creating the sauce. However, this rather important instruction wasn't properly explained, and consumers assumed the wine was for drinking. The misunderstanding left a bitter taste in the mouths of unforgiving consumers.

No, I'm not. Where's the mango? Where's the honeydew? They don't seem interested in fruits anymore. Any new "flavours" are usually some generi-berry crap that purports to change colour when you mix it. Did you know that there used to be a vibrant and active "Kool Aid" usenet newsgroup? It dissolved into chaos when the purists (who mostly discussed either where to get rare or out of production flavours, or which existing flavours to mix to get interesting blends) clashed head-on with the sk8board crowd who only wanted to discuss which Kool Aid flavours made the best temporary hair dye. Let the flame war begin! quote: Hey, how about guacamole-flavoured kool aid?
Why isn't there an emoticon called the 'hurlie'? At any rate, you could drink it to wash down a Jalapeño chupachup lollipop (apparently available in South America). [ 12 February 2004: Message edited by: Mr. Magoo ]
