38 Failed Products From the Past That Were Not Successful

Instagrammers went crazy when Starbucks introduced their brightly-colored Unicorn Frappuccino on the social media platform. There’s no surprise there; coffee has long been a popular product, and with the rise of Starbucks and other successful coffee shop chains, fancy specialty drinks have become the norm.

But the Unicorn Frappuccino was a big disappointment to Starbucks lovers. Critics complained that the drink tasted entirely too artificial, which doesn’t seem too crazy considering its bright purple color. The Unicorn Frappuccino became just another failed recipe, and Starbucks moved on to find success with other drinks. Instagrammers were disappointed, to say the least.
