Things that were meant to be the next big thing, but then never lived up to the hype, failed, or disappeared without a trace... What do you remember??

Pressure cookers. Massively popular for a time in the eighties and they were going to make ovens redundant. Hardly anyone uses one now, mainly because the food they produced was shyte.

err the Ninja multi cookers - quite big in the air fryer world - have a pressure cooker function / additional lid..

plus for stews / casseroles and things like that they are awesome

Friends reunited, I guess Farce book superseded it. Never did either personally.

Everyone at my school (it came in shortly after I left college) jumped on friends reunited straight away. You could create a profile for free but you had to pay to add any pictures or message anyone. Some people realised that you could type a hint to your email address into your profile, but it didn't really work. No-one was willing to pay a fiver to contact old school friends. Which is why FB completely took over, as it was free, and now look at what its done to the population!
