Wall Street Journal has just come out with the list of the Biggest Product Flops of the Past Decade, and many of these products cost companies millions, and even billions.
Overall, the site has picked Google Glass as the biggest flop ever. The product, released in 2013, was an eyeglass shaped head-mounted display with smartphone capabilities, but it saw two years of disappointing sales, before they finally discontinued the product in 2015.
Other products making the list include the mobile phone app Home, the Disney movie “Mars Needs Moms and Burger King’s Satisfries, which were supposed to be a healthy alternative to fries.
