Hey! Slacker! Are those Bugle Boy jeans you're wearing?
There are so many brands from our childhood that have simply ceased to exist. Sometimes due to marketing failures, sometimes competition, but often due to an unwillingess to adapt and accept change. Worse yet, there are companies like Blockbuster who scoffed at an offer to invest in some little company called Netflix! Remember Excite? I bet you don't. They had a ridiculously low dollar investment opportunity for a stake in Google - less than a million dollars - only to eventually get bought out by AskJeeves (now Ask.com). Yikes!
Plus, everytime we buy from Amazon, or Walmart, or Target, we are dancing on the graves of brands past. Tower Records. Circuit City. Borders. And a multitide of regional brands across the country (and the world). Although many were already on shaky ground, the inability to move into the online space sealed their doom.
So, what were some of the chains, stores, and brand items that you miss? Take a listen and let me know what I missed!
