A new museum in the Sunset Park section of Brooklyn proves that even the most successful businesses can sometimes have very bad ideas.
The newly opened Museum of Failure is a place that celebrates bad ideas, silly designs and overhyped products that never really took off.
Consider the 2011 Bic for Her pens, developed and marketed to women. The only difference was the glitter and the higher price tag.
Or how about Google Glass, a brand of smart glasses that raised some red flags regarding privacy. Or another example, the Rejuvenique Electric Facial Mask from 1999, a beauty product that shocks the face with electrical stimulation but looks like the stuff of nightmares.
