While What Were They Thinking? is an entertaining guide t o many of the new-product follies of the recent past, the message of the book is serious. Companies throw away literally millions repeating the mistakes of the past, such as: Buy-This-If-You're-a-Loser School of Marketing (People usually don't buy products that remind them of their shortcomings); Me-Too Madness (Th is is the number one killer of new products); Besmirching Your Good Name (Don't squander the trust of your brand by attaching its name to something totally out of character); and Selling Ice Cubes to Cocker Spaniels (This was the mistake of the tobacco industry with smokeless cigarettes, a product that appealed only to nonsmokers.). Pithy, insightful, and funny, What Were They Thinking? is orga nized in an A-to-Z format (Alzheimer's, Corporate to Zag When Everyone Else I s Zigging) and is bound to help you understand how a new product connects with consumers, like Ass-Kickin' Cajun Hot Sauce did, or doesn't connect at all, like Rabbit Jerky.
