Fongo Products Inc. (“Social justice is our most important product!”) is going out of business, after failing to sell any of its new product line. Here are Fongo’s four biggest flops.
*Trauma Cookies. No one even wanted to know what these looked like, never mind actually eating them. Putting the chief product developer to death didn’t solve the problem.
*Blank Baseball Cards. You know how annoying it is to buy a pack of baseball cards and get nothing but cards you either have already or just don’t want. So Fongo came up with blank pieces of cardboard which the customer can label and illustrate for himself, with pictures and stats of his most desired players. “Get only the players that you really want” was the slogan.
*Woo How bottled tap water from China. The three employees who sampled this water all fell gravely ill. Back to the drawing board.
*Pre-holed Socks. You know those jeans you can buy that already have holes on them? Someone at Fongo thought this would work with socks, too. A trial run at the local Wal-Mart produced no sales at all.
Fongo Products is now… belly-up.
Lol, too bad a lot more outfits don’t go the same way.
I would tend to agree.
LOL It was the pre-holed socks that made me really laugh. Maybe it was just building up.
We all need a good laugh, these days.
Thank you for a good laugh Lee.
I know all about Fongo Products. I lost my shirt by investing all my welfare money in their stock. I can’t even give away their socks.
