The Last Five.
5. MOOSE MURDERS-- One-night-run play became theater synonym for bomb. (Never heard of it.)
4. 1964 PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES-- Blew NL pennant after holding 6.5 game lead with 12 games left. (How about the Cubbies anytime?)
3. BELL ROCKET BELT-- (1960s) Maximum flight time 23 seconds. (Definitely would not have tried to do this. That and motorcycles.)
2. SMELL-O-VISION-- (1960)-- Technically, the Scent of Mystery, the first and only film in this format, stank. (Something definitely fishy here.)
1. FORD EDSEL-- (1957-1959)-- Faulty engineering? Misguided marketing? The grille's proboscis? Whatever was to blame, Ford sold about 116,000 Edsels and lost $350 million. (Small loss compared to today's automotive losses.)
