From the Digital Box Set: Along with the most famous marketing blunder of all time - the Edsel - we’ll look at what caused Coke to make the mistake of changing their fabled formula, how a company actually went out of business by promising a product improvement, how a fashion house tweeted inappropriately and had an immediate PR disaster, and why a fast food company made a big mistake betting on the U.S. Olympic team. They’re all great stories. Just be glad they didn’t happen to you. This is an archived episode that aired originally on April 6, 2013.
