    Redbox DVD rentals comes to mind. I never used them, but thet were everywhere for a while and disappeared once streaming took over.

      Streaming killed them, but they killed the industry.

      Redbox was everywhere - to smother the competition. Once the competition died off, Redbox retracted to the most profitable locations… And in doing so became just as inconvenient as their competition was if not more.

      Fuck Redbox.

    Froyo? I don’t remember where the fad came from, but I kinda miss it (nearest frozen yogurt place far from where I live).
