25 Forgotten 1980s Products That FLOPPED Harder Than You Remember #1980s #americahistory #nostalgia #backtoyesterday The 1980s were a golden age of bold ideas, bright colors, and bigger-than-life marketing — but not every idea was a winner. In this video, we’re diving into 25 forgotten 1980s products that flopped harder than you remember, from disastrous gadgets and failed food trends to ambitious toys that never stood a chance. Back then, every company wanted to create “the next big thing.” But for every Sony Walkman or Rubik’s Cube, there were countless disasters: soda that glowed in the dark, computers that barely worked, perfumes that smelled like candy, and fast-food items nobody asked for. Millions were spent on products that disappeared almost overnight — leaving behind hilarious commercials and confused customers. Join us as we rewind to a decade when risk, excess, and innovation collided spectacularly. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you might even remember owning one of these doomed inventions yourself! 00:00 Intro 00:22 New Coke (1985) 01:36 LaserDisc 02:49 Sinclair C5 (1985) 04:23 Gullwing Doors 06:59 Briefcase Alarm 08:20 Colgate Frozen Lasagna 09:36 Coleco Adam (1983) 11:10 Lifesavers Soda 18:16 ItalDesign Capsula 22:21 Nissan Pulsar Sportback/NX (1987) 25:10 IBM PCjr (1984) 26:19 Apple Lisa (1983) 27:34 Commodore Amiga (1985) 31:02 Premiere Smokeless Cigarette #nostalgia #memories #americahistory #lifeinamerica #goldenage #1960s #1970s #1980s Subscribe: youtube.com/channel/UCuJBQl-_LZcFepZ_SFyhXbA COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER Back to Yesterday does not fully own the material compiled in this video.
