About The Book
Rhino records, repository of cultural detritus, turns away from ’60s garage rock and sleazy lounge recordings for this collection of Things That Were Meant to Succeed … but Didn’t. Entertaining tidbits profile such mega-flops as nasty-tasting, difficult-to-light smokeless cigarettes from RJ Reynolds; Colgate’s chewable toothpaste (no kidding); and Kraft’s precooked toaster bacon. Obscure failures, such as The Belly Bongo (a toy/musical instrument that was supposed to be the next hula-hoop) and comic book superhero Paranex the Fighting Fetus, receive their fair share of ridicule as well. Not to be missed is the section on product names that didn’t translate well, such as Asian beverages Pipi and Mucos, and the American sports car Pinto, which faced difficulty when sold in Brazil where “pinto” is slang for “tiny penis.”
