Purple Ketchup, Celery Soda, and 6 Other Crazy Food Ideas That Flopped

3. Thirsty Dog! And Thirsty Cat!

Allegedly tap water, bottled water for cats and dogs is a good way of expressing how stupid you think your consumers really are. This fad appeared in the mid-’90’s, with the product being released in 1994. Under the pretense of aiding the pets’ skin and fur by being vitamin enriched, these carbonated drinks aimed for a feeling of exclusiveness for the owners. Feeding your cat a “Tangy Fish” beverage, or “Crispy Beef“ to your dog seemed to mean that you were a better owner, when in reality, you were just a moron.

The reason why this product beside purple ketchup, celery soda, and 6 other crazy foods flopped and failed is that it didn’t take long for people to realize that their pets don’t give a crap about fish flavored water or exclusiveness, to them it’s just the same as toilet water. Also, it didn’t offer any practicality, no special nozzle or anything, so when it came to bringing the bottle along for a walk, half of it would be wasted. Nevertheless, they were not the only one to have the idea of making special drinks for pets, believe it or not; here’s an entire list.
