What are some of the greatest marketing disasters in history?

Personally I liked the burger which might have caught on had McDonalds introduced it with something other than “A burger so awful your kids will want to spit it into the garbage can” advertising campaign.

Dubbed “The Burger With The Grown Up Taste” McDonald’s spent a record amount advertising their newer, more sophisticated hamburger. Now here is where the problem arose. The advertising campaign featured children making nasty faces as they ate the burger. The advertising slogan seemed to be “A burger your kids will hate”.

In the mid-1990’s McDonalds was losing market share to fast food chains like Wendy’s as well as table service hamburger restaurants like Chili’s where for a few dollars more customers could experience more flavorful burgers. McDonalds responded with the Arch Deluxe, a truly tasty burger with fresh lettuce, tomatoes and red onions along with two slices of hickory smoked bacon and flavored with a D’jon mustard sauce. All this was served on a buttery sour dough bun.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

The Arch Deluxe was a flop. People saw all pictures of children looking like they wanted to spit out the burger right into the garbage can and wondered why they should even try it. Within a few years McDonalds stopped offering The Arch Deluxe.
