Only a fortnight ago, when the three met and compared notes, none had any idea of the honor that the next week would bring...

Some highly promoted disappointments in recent years: Gablinger's Beer, Hunt's Flavored Catsups, Fact Toothpaste, Noxzema Medicated Cold Cream and Easy-Off Household Cleaner...
