20 Items from the 1980s That Failed! #1960s #1970s #1980s
The 1980s brought us some of the most iconic inventions—but not every idea was a success. Some products were ahead of their time, others were just plain bizarre, and a few were doomed from the start. From failed tech experiments to marketing disasters, this video dives into 20 items that hit the shelves with high hopes but quickly faded into obscurity.
Remember the Sony Betamax? It was supposed to revolutionize home entertainment but lost the battle to VHS. What about New Coke, the infamous soda that sparked national outrage? And let’s not forget those short-lived laser discs, talking cars, and fashion trends that looked cool in the moment but didn’t stand the test of time.
Some of these flops are hilarious, others were tragic, but they all share one thing: they failed to survive the ‘80s. Join us as we take a nostalgic trip through the decade’s biggest product misfires—you won’t believe what companies actually thought would be the next big thing!
