...carbon dioxide cartridge, the shiny plastic appliance fizzes tap water into salt-free club soda. Adding flavor concentrates will make instant plain or diet cola, tonic, root beer or the popular fruit sodas.

Company officials should have known that they were playing a very tricky game in changing Coke. When the firm first came out with 10-oz., king-size bottles in the mid-1950s, many drinkers were beside themselves. If God had wanted Coke in 10-oz. bottles, he would not have created the traditional, green-hued 6l/2-oz. bottle.

Priced at a hefty $135 per 6-oz. tube, StriVectin, made by privately held Klein-Becker, a division of Salt Lake City, Utah-- based weight-loss-supplement maker Basic Research, last year tallied an estimated $60 million in sales, almost double the sales that a new skin-care product typically generates in its first year in U.S. department stores, according...
...first antiaging cream to spark a frenzy with better-than-the-rest claims. Crème de la Mer, bought by Estée Lauder in 1995, was the first cream to become a cult favorite. Made with sea kelp, La Mer sold for more than $150 for a 2-oz. jar, the first skin-care product to break that price point. Another big push came with the publication of well-known dermatologist Dr. Nicholas Perricone's book, The Wrinkle Cure, in 2000 and the launch of his pricey line of skin-care potions.
