Merry Christmas Eve to all who are celebrating! This week, there is something special left under your tree. It is a gift you don't have to wait until Christmas Day to open. A brand new mixtape!

Mixtape #3 delivers all of the product failures of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s in one convenient podcast episode. These are the things you wouldn't want to get from Santa.

This look back at product fails runs the gamut. From Betamax to the Amphicar, from New Coke to Crystal Pepsi, there are loads of big name fails and just as many that will have you running to Google to search for.

Whatever decade you grew up in the fails were there and have all been collected in this new Mixtape episode. So sit back, relax, and hope that you can find the receipt if you get any of these products as a gift this holiday season.

Merry Christmas to all of my listeners!
