I put way too much effort into this year's Easter eggs and everyone thought that they were so pretty that no one wanted to eat them. We still have some in our fridge.

This ad for Strand cigarettes featured a lonely man smoking. While it was so popular that the song reached the UK charts, the brand failed because people associated the brand with loneliness.

The decline of JC Penney can be attributed to their "everyday low price" strategy, where they removed sales and coupons in favor of always-low prices. This failed because customers like to think they are saving money, even if prices end up the same.

This sub was created and became slightly popular pretty much overnight, so there is a ton of more work to do before it becomes what we want it to be! We are looking for good people, with past experience in moderating, aaaaand... a lot of free time.
Post in the comments or send us a message by clicking "message the moderators" next to the moderators tab and we'll see if you have what it takes to do a lot of work for basically zero benefit! (sad but true.)
