Stangest Product Brand Extensions

So, brands are always trying to extend their product line. Hey, I understand. You're making money, and you think " This is great! But do you know what would be better? Making even more money". So you naturally decide to branch out. You want to try new things. But sometimes, this goes horribly awry. These are some examples.

1. Bic Disposable Underwear
2. Cheetos flavored Lip Balm (Yummy.....)
3. Lifesavers Flavored Soda ( Because soda doesn't have enough sugar)
4. Colgate brand microwaveable Dinners (Brush your teeth while eating! Floss with our string beans!)
5. NASCAR romance novels (angry redneck: "what're you sayin' ? NASCAR ain't romantic?")
6.Hooters credit cards and airlines
7. Gerber Singles- adult food (does it come with someone to feed it to you?)
8. Smith and Wesson mountain bike (Be careful, is that the brake or the trigger you're about to pull?)

Steer clear, corporate america. Stick with what you know.
