Buzzfeed shared a list of the products, trends, and inventions that were hyped as the next big thing but then fizzled out fast.
Here are some of the most notorious:
1. Ephemeral tattoos . . . which are tattoos that are meant to fade after nine months or so. And I guess the trend faded, too.
2. 3D movies
3. Zima
4. Google+
5. The Segway
6. Crystal Pepsi
7. Curved TVs
8. Hoverboards. (I really thought we’d be riding on “Back to the Future” hoverboards by now.)
