POLL: BRINGING BACK FAVORITE PRODUCTS

A new survey from a software company called User Testing has found that two in three Americans would pay extra to have their favorite retired products revived. The poll of 2,000 U.S. adults found the average person would pay 32% more for the products they once loved to be brought back to the marketplace. Some of the products people said they wanted to come back: classic Atari, Sega, and Nintendo consoles, Crystal Pepsi, Banana Nesquik, Blackberry phones, iPods, Jolt soda, Surge soda, and Bubblegum Jeans.
* I hate when the Girl Scout cookies go away for a year.
* How about undoing rotten changes to products we still have? Like an iPhone with a regular earphone jack?
* Thanks, User Testing, for reminding us how much everything sucks now.
* Can we vote for foods to go away? Like Circus Peanuts candy? Or lima beans?
* PHONE TOPIC: Have you got a childhood product you wish would come back?
