I remember a stand up comedian at the time talking about an AYDS company meeting with the CEO saying: "Why couldn't they have called it Snickers?" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kutulu 1,662 Posted yesterday at 12:16 AM Blockbuster had an offer to buy Netflix for 50 million in 2000. They laughed at the proposed deal. Blockbuster is now a footnote in history and Netflix is a monster in the streaming business field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

easilyscan 897 Posted yesterday at 12:21 AM Some companies just have to learn the hard way. Jaguar sales have been declining, with global sales nearly halving in just two years. In 2022, Jaguar sold 61,661 cars, while in 2024, this figure plummeted to 33,320. This decline is particularly significant when compared to their peak in 2019, where they sold 161,601 cars. The situation is so dire that Jaguar has halted new car sales in its home market (the UK) and will only resume sales with a new all-electric lineup in summer 2026.

jbycho 666 Posted yesterday at 12:21 AM Wasn't there a Toyota named Previa? I remember this being some medical term and relocked it up. The primary symptom of placenta previa is painless, bright red vaginal bleeding, which can occur after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
