    Well, there's...

    -Nintendo's Power Glove
    -Windows Me and Vista
    -Child-proof caps
    -Truck nuts
    -Cheese in a spray can
    -Stretch limo Humvees
    -Speed cameras
    -Automated phone directories that require you to "say what you want to do" then forward you to the wrong place
    -Computer viruses / Adware
    -Philips CD-i
    -Virtual Boy
    -The special effect they used in X-Men 3 that made Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen look younger
    -"Auto-Tune", that awful vocal effect that inadvertently made Cher sound like a robot in the 1999 song "Believe"

    ...just to name a few.
