The American "Time" magazine selected the 50 worst inventions, which involve transportation, financial communications, electronic games, health care and many other fields. Products such as Segway personal transportation vehicles, Nintendo Virtual Boy game console, and "New Coke" launched by beverage giant Coca-Cola Company are all on the list.

1. Segway

Segway

Segway is an electric-driven, self-balancing personal transport vehicle. When the Segway was launched in 2001, Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway, had a secret in mind: he hoped it would revolutionize transportation around the world. However, this vehicle, which Carmen had high hopes for, did not have the revolutionary impact as expected. Although this technology is quite new and avant-garde, the high cost of the gyroscope makes it almost impossible to have a significant impact on the way people travel - although former US President George Bush has a soft spot for this new form of transportation - Race Gervais' sales were far below Kamen's expectations. Today it serves little more than a toy car for supermarket security guards and lazy tourists. The Segway's greatest contribution may be its role as the vehicle of choice for unsuccessful magician Gob Bluth on the TV series "Arrested Development."

2. "New Coke"

"New Coke"

Marketers should understand one thing, that is, not to provoke users' emotional attachment to a certain product. , especially when it comes to the 99-year-old Coca-Cola, you should pay attention to this. Although the "newer, sweeter" Coca-Cola, which was launched on April 13, 1985, successfully passed the blind taste test, it failed in the real world. Die-hard fans of Coca-Cola have called or sent letters to complain. Just three months after its launch, Coca-Cola Company resumed the production of traditional formulas, and added "classic" trademarks to all Coca-Cola cans and bottles, so that consumers can regain their "classic" trademark. A feeling like first love.

3.Clippy

Clippy

"You seem to be writing a letter, do you need help?" Undoubtedly, Clippy's stylish "opening" attracted the attention of Microsoft Office The strongest objection from users. This Office assistant tool debuted with Microsoft Office '97 as a virtual paper clip ready to get any job done. The only problem is, Clippy has trouble staying silent. Once the word "Dear" appears on the page, it goes into letter-writing mode, ready to help organize a person's most private thoughts. The reason why Clippy has not been able to play a dominant role among word processing programs is mainly because of its obsession with changing users' documents. In fact, users seem to no longer use Office software to write letters.

4. Agent Orange

Agent Orange

Agent Orange was a powerful defoliant used in the Vietnam War from 1961 to 1971. It was designed to Clear the visual obstruction - Vietnam's dense forests completely exposed the Vietnamese army to the firepower of the US military. While this strategy was successful, it came at a heavy cost: exposure to Agent Orange had fatal effects, causing cancer, birth defects, and a host of other illnesses. Throughout the Vietnam War, the U.S. military sprayed approximately 21 million gallons of Agent Orange from aircraft into the jungles of Vietnam, causing harm to hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese. U.S. veterans were also seriously affected, with many illnesses related to exposure to Agent Orange. They took the Agent Orange manufacturers to court and eventually settled with them in 1984, receiving $180 million in compensation.

5. Pop-up ads

Pop-up ads

There are various forms of advertising, including banner ads, Flashing banner ads, music ads, etc. Since the introduction of pop-up ads in web browsers in the early 2000s, people have had nowhere to hide, and websites that adopt this gimmick will undoubtedly benefit greatly.

Outraged Facebook users have formed hundreds of groups to oppose pop-up ads. Although they eventually developed a pop-up blocker, you never know when you might click on a link with a pop-up ad.

6. Subprime mortgages

Subprime mortgages

Subprime mortgages refer to mortgages issued by banks to customers with poor credit records and are considered to be The main culprit behind the U.S. economy’s turn from prosperity to recession. Normally, it would be difficult for such a customer to get a loan from a bank. When interest rates fell and the housing market boomed in 2004, banks began issuing mortgages to customers with poor credit histories. To make matters worse, many people also obtained floating-rate subprime mortgages, making the banks increasingly risky. As a result, bank bad debts surged as heavily indebted borrowers were unable to repay their loans, ultimately triggering a financial crisis.

7. Crinoline

Crinoline

Crinoline must be worn with the corset, allowing people to pursue fashion in the most uncomfortable way. Crinolines are a relic of Britain's Victorian era and occasionally reach 6 feet in width, making simple daily tasks such as entering a home quite challenging. In comparison, high heels look much more practical.

8. Nintendo Virtual Boy

Nintendo Virtual Boy

The Virtual Boy game console may be the shortest-lived system in Nintendo’s history. Before production ceased in 1995, it was only On the market for six months. The system included a bulky, bright red hood that completely blocked the player's view when trying to play the game, which featured 3D graphics. In addition, the Virtual Boy game console is expensive (retail price is $180) and has a limited game selection (the version available in the United States only has 14 games). Nintendo decided to focus its efforts on the more successful and more traditional Nintendo 64 system, while discontinuing production of the Virtual Boy.

9.Farmville Game

Farmville Game

FarmVille game is developed and operated by Zynga Company and is one of the most popular games on the social networking site Facebook. However, FarmVille is less of a game and more of a mindless chore on a virtual farm that requires players to click their mouse to grow and harvest crops. According to Zynga, more than 10% of Americans are loyal players of the FarmVille game. How much productivity can this wasted time be converted into? This question is really difficult to answer.

10. Hydrogenated oils

Hydrogenated oils

Trans fats are a disaster for human health in the 21st century, but they still have practical uses after they were invented. In the late 19th century, hydrogen began to be added to oils like vegetable oils to increase the shelf life of food. However, modern research has found that the combination of hydrogen and oil has a series of unintended consequences for human health, increasing bad cholesterol and increasing the risk of heart disease. Later, manufacturers like McDonald's began eliminating trans fats from their foods, and in 2006, the United States required food processing companies across the United States to clearly label the amount of trans fats on the packaging of their products.

11. Honegar health solution

Honegar health solution

Honegar was invented in 1959 by Dr. DeForest C. Jarvis , indeed fits its English name: a mixture of apple cider vinegar and honey. Jarvis was inspired to develop Honegar by the drinking habits of local Vermont farmers. He thinks Vermont farmers are healthier. The product didn't catch on because it tasted bad, but the science behind it may sound reasonable: Both honey and apple cider vinegar contain significant amounts of important antioxidants, which can treat many conditions, including arthritis.

12. Hydrogen-fueled airship

Hydrogen-fueled airship

When the Hindenburg airship was designed in 1931, the manufacturer chose hydrogen instead of helium As fuel, this laid the foundation for the Hindenburg's later disastrous outcome. Hydrogen is cheaper and more readily available than helium, but has the disadvantage of being highly flammable. In the end, this fear became a reality: in 1937, the "Hindenburg" airship caught fire and crashed 36 seconds later. This accident also announced the end of the era of hydrogen-fueled airships. Most modern airships, such as the famous "Goodyear" airship, use non-volatile helium as fuel.

13. Hairspray

If we had other options, we would never can cheese, pork, and sardines just to keep them fresh. What comes out of the can always makes people feel accurate. The food is like this, let alone the "hair" coming out of the jar. Using hairspray to cover bald areas is a fool's errand, and the results aren't necessarily any better. In fact, other methods can better improve your image. There is no need to focus on hair alone. There is a saying that goes like this: grow old in grace. There is no elegance with a head full of paint, it can only become the laughing stock of people.

14.DDT

DDT

DDT (the abbreviation of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) was once hailed as the "anti-drug" against insect-borne diseases such as malaria. Magic Bullet”. It was introduced in 1873 and was not widely used until 1939. It was during World War II that Swiss chemist Paul Hermann Muller discovered that DDT could be used as an effective insecticide. For this discovery, he also won the Nobel Prize. After the war, the use of this pesticide exploded. From 1942 to 1972, Americans used approximately 1.35 billion pounds (approximately 600 million kilograms) of DDT.

While millions of pounds of DDT are sprayed every year, no consideration is given to the impact this pesticide may have on the environment. In 1962, Rachel Carson's environmental masterpiece "Silent Spring" was published and had a profound impact. In the book, Carson calls people's attention for the first time to the "evil" side of DDT, which damages human reproduction and nervous systems, accumulates in the food chain of wild animals and plants, and poisons birds. U.S. DDT use plummeted and the pesticide was banned entirely in 1972.

15. Automatic voice modification software

Automatic voice modification software

This technology can make the voices of poor singers beautiful and moving, but those who are too qualified can A bad singer's voice just sounds like a robot. Automatic pitch editing software makes Kanye West, Cher and other singers mistakenly believe that they are also masters at interpreting crooning. What can we say about this? All I can say is: "Thank you very much, great computer."

16. Red Pigment No. 2

Red Pigment No. 2

Red Pigment No. 2 is the top One of the most popular food dyes in the 1970s. The food coloring quickly disappeared from the market in 1976 after Soviet scientists claimed test results linked the substance to cancer. Has people's panic subsided? Maybe, because no one has ever gotten cancer from Red Pigment 2. But due to public panic, red M's chocolate disappeared from the market for a full 10 years. Faced with such a huge impact, we naturally want to "invite" Red Pigment No. 2 to the list.

17. Ford Pinto

Ford Pinto

The 1971 Ford Pinto was one of the worst cars ever made when rear-ended. explode. After learning of the problem, Ford claimed in its infamous memo that it would be more cost-effective to compensate victims than to repair the Pinto. Such inhumane remarks not only hurt but also humiliated the victim. It can be said that "Pintogate" is a stain on Ford that can never be washed away.

18. Parachute Jacket

Needless to say, you can guess what kind of scene people who use this product will end up in.

In 1912, German inventor Franz Reichert invented the parachute jacket. In order to attract attention, Reichert put on the jacket himself to demonstrate, but the result was tragic. At that time, he jumped from the Eiffel Tower, but his parachute did not open and he died unexpectedly.

19. Betamax video recorder

Betamax video recorder

Betamax video recorder is not a very bad product. Sony’s failed marketing strategy is what we should learn from most. lesson. In 1975, Sony tried to make Betamax a proprietary format in order to attract manufacturers, but they were not quite ready at this time. In the video format war with VHS (Home Video System) recorders, Betamax ultimately lost. Betamax can record up to one hour of video, while VHS can record up to two hours. That one-hour advantage was enough to give VHS a foothold in a market it never gave up, making Betamax a competitor that seemed insignificant by comparison.

20. Baby Cage

Baby Cage

In the 1930s, some Londoners "invited" their babies in because their living space was too small. Baby carrier. The so-called baby cage is a cage made of wire. It was patented in the United States in 1922. When they cruelly put the baby in a cage, they didn't think about the dangers the world outside the window would bring to the child? Especially a big city like London. Perhaps because of the convenience, many people ignore the needs and feelings of their children.

21. Tanning Beds

Tanning Beds

Anyone knows that exposure to ultraviolet rays—whether from the sun or artificial ultraviolet rays—can be harmful to the body. have a negative impact. In fact, approximately 90% of skin cancers are directly caused by UV exposure. Tanning beds also play a role in the development of skin cancer. Tanning beds appeared on the U.S. market in the 1970s and quickly became popular among consumers, especially teenagers, despite widespread reports and publicity about the dangers of using the equipment. An April 2010 study found for the first time that using tanning beds indoors is particularly addictive in the same way as drugs or alcohol.

22. Crocs Crocs

Crocs Crocs

No matter how many people are popular with them, this casual shoe cannot get rid of its "ugly" look. hat. Crocs Crocs came onto the market in 2002, mainly rubber overshoes, but also high-heeled shoes and loafers. Crocs announced on April 26 that the company will also launch ballet flats. Its CEO said: "If we can introduce more fashionable styles, we can attract more consumers to buy." It seems that Crocs is determined to see this terrible shoe through to the end.

23. Hula chair

Is this an amusement park equipment or a fitness machine? As we can’t guess from the name, the hula chair is designed to provide users with the same fitness experience as playing a hula hoop, and it can exercise abdominal muscles. Turning the hula hoop can indeed play a role in fitness, but simply sitting on the hula chair obviously cannot achieve this. This is a view recognized by many people. It's certainly a good idea to work on your abs while sorting through papers, but spinning your lower body around on the cushion is obviously a bad idea. This approach is too ridiculous, incomprehensible, and difficult to accept. What’s even more unacceptable is that such a chair actually sells for more than $250.

24. Social networking site “Foursquare”

Social networking site “Foursquare”

When Facebook and Twitter can’t satisfy you When you need it, you also have "Fun Fang Fang", which is the next generation social network. You don’t have to say where you are, you can use the GPS on your phone to tell others where you are. This is another tool to turn you into the narcissistic generation, where you can get coupons for Starbucks.

While coupons are just one incentive, Play Around is built for a generation that lives in a virtual world. Launched in 2009, the social network currently has just 1 million users, a drop in the bucket compared to Facebook, but is expected to soon reach 500 million. But as is the case with most social networks, users are growing and there will be attrition.

25. CueCat Barcode Scanner

CueCat Barcode Scanner

The barcode scanner CueCat was a product launched during the Internet boom in the late 1990s. A famous failure. Manufacturers produced millions of the cat-like CueCats and distributed them for free across the United States in the hope that people would use them to scan specially designed bar codes to access websites. Although the launch ceremony was very grand, and "Wired" magazine and "Business Week" also reported numerous articles on the CueCat code, users did not buy it. They could not accept the "trendy" concept of reading magazines next to a cat-shaped scanner. CueCat finally Used as nothing more than a high-tech paperweight.

26. Mobile phone finger cots

Mobile phone finger cots

When playing with iPhone, many people are really worried about leaving fingerprints on the display screen. Finally, an Austrian company has found a solution to this problem: using latex mobile phone finger covers to cover each finger. Since mobile phone finger cots cost 10 euros, the company believes there must be many consumers walking down the street wearing pink, white, blue or black finger cots. One problem buyers run into, however, is that putting on or taking off the finger cots isn't easy. To solve this problem, the company created a sizing chart to help consumers determine their "finger size." By placing this chart on your finger, you will know what size finger cot you need.

27. Chlorofluorocarbons

Chlorofluorocarbons

CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) is the abbreviation of chorofluorocarbon. This chemical substance can cause great damage to the environment. . Chlorofluorocarbons can be used in refrigeration equipment and spray cans. They combine with ozone in the atmosphere and neutralize molecular compounds, making the ozone layer thin and even create holes. The ozone layer is an important environmental barrier that protects the earth's surface from damage by the sun's ultraviolet rays. Management of this chemical began to increase in the 1970s. Chlorofluorocarbons that enter the atmosphere can stay there for nearly a century, causing long-term damage to the environment.

28. Plastic food bags

Plastic food bags

In the late 1970s, plastic bags were convenient, cheap and quickly available as a replacement for paper bags. With people's recognition, 80% of retailers now use plastic bags. Although they save millions of trees, the negative consequences of plastic bags are no less than the benefits they bring: more than 500 million used plastic bags are discarded every year, and millions of plastic bags are not recycled. Buried, turned into garbage, flying everywhere. Depending on the type of plastic used during production, these bags can take hundreds of years to break down. Recycling is one way to solve this problem, but a better way is to avoid paper and plastic bags and use your own reusable bags.

29. Hair comb

If you think your head is not stylish enough and your hair is not fluffy enough, a hair comb can help you solve this problem. However, this comb is not that good, and can even be said to be very lame.

30. Electronic Mask

For those who want to look like a serial killer and look very young, try an electronic mask. However, this scary-looking thing only appeared in an advertisement in 1999.

31. Sony Anti-Copy Disc

Sony Anti-Copy Disc

Before iTunes appeared, merchants tried various methods to prevent people from illegally ripping music. . One of the silliest methods is none other than Sony, which in 2002 introduced anti-copy disc software to prevent listeners from copying on their computers.

However, the problem with this method is that the software can be broken by drawing a circle around the disc with a marker.

32. Venetian sunglasses

Venetian sunglasses

The famous black "Hip-Hop King" Kanye West will wear one when singing and performing. A very strange pair of glasses. It’s all his fault that these glasses became popular again. Venetian sunglasses were a popular trend in the 1980s, but these odd-looking glasses were gradually forgotten. But after West wore these glasses to sing "Stronger" in 2007, they became fashionable again and were very popular among young people.

33. Pet Spa

This is a washer and a dryer, it is prepared for pets. In 2004, CBS gave it a full coverage. After using the pet spa, you can give your pet cats and dogs a bath without using your hands. Fortunately, most people still use traditional methods to bathe their pets.

34. Pontiac Aztek sedan

Pontiac Aztek sedan

It is not a car, it is an aesthetic work. When this car hit the market in 2001, the slogan was "It may be the most versatile car on the planet." But people say otherwise: the Aztek is perhaps the ugliest car on the planet. Pontiac didn't stop producing the car until 2005.

35. Dog “Blanket with Sleeves”

Dog “Blanket with Sleeves”

Sometimes we can understand why “Blanket with Sleeves” will appear. Maybe you want to reach something farther away without freezing your arms, or retrieve a soda. However, what is difficult to understand is why the dog’s “sleeved blanket” appears? Despite the hype, dogs don't need a "blanket with sleeves."

36. Mizar Speeding Car

Mizar Speeding Car

Speeding cars are not purely a product of science fiction. As early as the 1940s, inventors wanted to fly from California to Ohio in a flying car, although the flying car model never took off due to cost issues and technical limitations. However, in 1973, an inventor named Henry Smolinks tried to tie the wings and tail of a Cessna aircraft to a Ford Pinto car to fly. During a test flight in California, the Pinto The car detached and plummeted to the ground, killing Smallinks and his passengers. But it left material for later movies.

37. Asbestos

Asbestos

At first glance, asbestos seems to be a construction worker’s best friend. It is a versatile mineral fiber that is highly absorbent and heat-resistant. But when floor tiles or roof shingles need to be repaired or replaced, asbestos becomes a major headache. When it's time to remodel or demolish a building, these same strong fibers can make starting work treacherous. Breathing in the toxic particles can lead to asbestosis, which can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, deformed nails, deformed fingers and other complications. For these reasons, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a law on July 12, 1989 banning the use of most products containing asbestos. But two years later, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans struck down that decision, restricting only a few asbestos products: carpeting, rolled cardboard, corrugated paper, and commercial or professional paper. When a substance becomes the focus of the federal government's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, it's a false start.

38. Sucrose Polyester

Sucrose Polyester

When it comes to nutrition, what could be more tempting than zero calories, zero cholesterol and zero fat? Woolen cloth? In January 1996, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved sucrose polyester as a food additive. Stop using all unhealthy cooking oils. Discard the ghee packet and discard the butter sticks. Frito Lay also became one of the first companies to use sucrose polyester, launching its WOW! chips in 1998. However, sucrose polyester proved to be a greedy chemical.

Not only does it remove excess fat from food, but it also interferes with the body's ability to absorb essential vitamins. Side effects include cramps, gas and diarrhea, turning French fat-free fries into a commercial craze. To this day, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration still regards sucrose polyester as a food additive, leaving its health implications to consumers.

39. Convenience Wipe

It is not surprising that the late Billy Mays, the famous American TV advertising salesman, never hosted such a shopping guide show. In the history of changes in household products, toilet paper's status has been relatively "stable." Seth Wheeler is famous for the first appearance of the toilet paper roll in the late 19th century. But the inventor of the "convenient wipe" is dissatisfied with toilet paper's century-old success. Telebrands, a giant in the TV shopping industry, has even shocked the Ministry of Health by promoting this convenient wipe that makes people who hate holding toilet paper smile. The toilet paper automatically attaches to the 18-inch long-arm Convenient Wipe, and the rest of the steps are controlled by buttons at the end of the Convenient Wipe handle. Apparently, its slogan "No Embarrassing" suited Telebrands more than consumers, because the company abandoned the product in June 2009 before the Easy Wipe went on sale.

40. Fake Ponytail

Fake Ponytail

In fact, the 40th worst invention should be all wigs, not just Fake ponytail, except this product is particularly bad, so I singled it out. No matter how much you spend on a fake ponytail, it is still fake and can never be real. Although some fake ponytails are made from real human hair, the thing doesn't really belong to you. It is acceptable for a woman to wear a fake ponytail, but if the owner were a man, many people would probably not be able to accept it.

41. HeadOn

HeadOn

Like colorless lipstick for the forehead, HeadOn claims to relieve headaches without the need for medication. In fact, it should be said that its advertising is more successful than the product itself. The Good Business Bureau said: "HeadOn has not provided any reliable trials to support this claim." Although HeadOn claims that their products have homeopathic advantages, many doctors believe that HeadOn's treatment of headaches has no scientific basis. We also think the HeadOn ad is more likely to cause headaches than cure because it features the most annoying sound ever.

42. Paid toilets

Paid toilets

Time is money. But should this adage really apply to toilets? In the mid-1970s, more and more Americans recognized the charge for public restrooms. With the help of the Committee to End Paid Bathrooms in the United States, several major cities, led by Chicago, have realized their wishes. New York went in the opposite direction. It was not until January 2008 that New York's first paid restroom opened to the public in Madison Square Park. For 25 cents, people get 15 minutes of privacy, which is equivalent to a parking meter. But what's really special is when the 15-minute time limit is up. There is no need for security to collect tickets, and the paid toilet will automatically open the toilet door, exposing its guests. Airlines have become buyers of the toilets, resetting their business class toilets for 15 minutes at a time.

43. Tamagotchi

Tamago

When children ask their parents for their first pet, they are always asked "Do you know how to feed them?" Pets, do you keep your pets clean?” With the debut of Bandai toys in the late 1990s, a toy in your pocket finally made it easy for children to solve these basic problems. Through different combinations of the three buttons A, B and C, the Tamagotchi can be fed, changed and entertained. But, like a real pet with a pulse, the egg-shaped device requires constant care. If it is not looked after carefully, it will die in less than a day. Because parents focus on cultivating their children's time management skills, Tamagotchis often become the best fuse for war.

44. Leaded gasoline

Leaded gasoline

Driving to the local gas station, there are some common things every time you fill up. The “lead-free” label is the new craze. For 60 years, gasoline companies ignored the risks associated with the metal in order to make money. Tetraethyl lead increased the octane content of gasoline, but from the beginning there were safety concerns about this decision. A report reveals that 35 men at the Mobil Oil Company in New Jersey suffered from an "occupational disease." Symptoms range from insomnia to low blood pressure, all symptoms of lead poisoning. In 1986, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency completely banned the use of leaded gasoline, finally ending the continued health cost of pursuing continued sales.

45. Vibrating Abdominal Belt

Modern people’s work is full of computer logins and traffic jams, which has led people to form a sedentary lifestyle. But for people who want to get in shape instantly, they have better options than devices like gentle defibrillators. While it may not cost as much as a regular gym membership, a vibrating ab band will cause your muscles to contract by delivering just the right amount of electrical charge to your core area. But if the point of fitness is to keep your heart healthy, why jeopardize your heart health? Pain is nothing but weakness leaving the body, but a vibrating abdominal belt is money leaving the pocket.

46. Spam

Spam

Everything that is free comes with a price, and one of the biggest problems associated with email is spam. A cluttered folder contains redundant messages that have been sent to thousands of email addresses. Those mailboxes that are not smart enough to read the warning signs may accept these spam emails. Without proper protection programs, spam can severely impact the lifespan of an average computer.

47. Smell movies

Smell movies

Forget 3D, what audiences need is to watch movies through their sense of smell. Michael Todd Jr. thought so, and in 1960 he invested in the Olfactory Cinema Device, a complex system that allowed film reels to generate the scent of bottled perfume, which was transmitted to the audience along with the plot of the film. The only film to use the sense of smell was 1960's "Mysterious Smell." This video was specially created for this device. It's easy to imagine that the film received a lot of bad reviews and that olfactory films have since been discontinued.

48. Smile Scan

Smile Scan

In 2009, employees of Japan's Keihin Kyuko Electric Railway Company scanned smiling faces every morning, using a "smile scan" "The software analyzes their facial expressions and scores them on a scale from 0 to 100. If that wasn't silly enough, they also had to carry a picture of their "ideal smile" with them to remind themselves to look good throughout the day.

49. Microsoft Bob

Microsoft Bob

If you think about an entire operating system designed around Clippy, you can know the ending of Microsoft Bob. Microsoft Bob designed it as a relaxed interface for Windows 95 users, imagining the user's computer as its own home, with the user as its guest. Microsoft Bob is dedicated to helping people and can even provide cartoon companions to guide users through simple tasks. The problem was that the software was priced too high and lacked highlights, failing to compete with Apple's Macintosh, which was regarded as the standard for user-friendly interfaces. Although Microsoft Bob has long been withdrawn from the market, it has left a long-lasting shadow on the Internet: as perhaps the worst font in history, Comic Sans was developed specifically for Microsoft Bob.

50. Vio drink

Vio drink

Coca-Cola Company calls Vio the world’s first “energetic drink”. Since Vio is a milk carbonated drink, This is indeed an unreliable statement. The Coca-Cola Company launched Vio beverages in 2009, testing them in cities including New York.

Surprisingly, the drink wasn't well received by users, and Coca-Cola still makes Vio, albeit in very limited quantities.
