1. Those commercials that try and sell you ringtones for your phone -u/dontcareitsonlyreddi
2. Sneakers that you pump up. I had models with both internal and external pumping mechanisms. -u/jmacd2918
3. 3D TVs. I am not sure if I would call them hugely popular but at CES one year they were super popular and by the following year there was barely one in sight. -u/shellwe
4. Those sour altoids. Damn those were good. -u/streachh
5. I know a guy who saw the fidget spinner thing coming. He mass produced a bunch of them, sold through the entire stock, then sold his company immediately after and bowed out right before the whole thing cratered. I sort of feel sorry for whoever he left holding the bag. But man, those things just didn't stick around long. -u/OhYeahThrowItAway
6. Different colored ketchups. -u/LikeReally_yikes
7. Livestrong bracelets. -u/chilli_cheese_cake
8. That mustache thing? Like early 2010s every girl had mustaches on everything. Mustache bags, pencil cases, clothes, etc. -u/PepperyMars
9. Gotye -u/zed910
10. Ed Hardy clothing. -u/kapnkool
11. Silly Bands anybody? -u/DontNeedNoStylist
