Orbitz
Orbitz was the product name of a noncarbonated fruit-flavored beverage, made by the company Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation (makers of Clearly Canadian), that had small edible balls floating in it. It was introduced around 1996 and quickly disappeared because of bad sales.


Funky Fries
Funky Fries was a short-lived brand of french fries from Ore-Ida. Flavors included Kool-Blue, Cinna-Stiks, and Choco-Fries.


Crystal Pepsi
Crystal Pepsi was a colorless, caffeine-free soft drink that was made by PepsiCo from 1992 to 1993 in the United States, Canada, and for a short amount of time in Australia. In Europe, Crystal Pepsi was sold for a somewhat longer time. It is considered by some to be the company's equivalent of New Coke, as both were massive commercial failures.



Chicken Tonight
Chicken Tonight is a Unilever brand (launched in the US in 1992 and the UK and Australia in 1993) of sauce that is added to chicken pieces in a skillet, available in flavors such as Apricot Chicken, Mustard Chicken and Thai Green Curry Chicken. The associated advertising slogan is "I feel like Chicken Tonight". In one series of television ads, these words were sung by actors as they 'flapped' their arms in a movement similar to the chicken dance. This dance and song was performed by The Simpsons family in the episode "Lady Bouvier's Lover", as a parody of the effects on popular culture from persuasive television advertising. The American version of the product quickly failed but it is still popular in the United Kingdom and Australia.
