Default Re: Some of the biggest Business blunders in history...

dont know if that qould qualify as a blunder though.

They turned a decent profit when they sold, and they might not have been able to mass market the way the people did that bought it from them.

In that sense then the guy who invented coca cola is very similar to that. He eventually sold the formula, for an amount that was well worth his efforts, and i wouldnt really call it a mistake at time for him. Can't recall the exact details, but i think he got everything out of it that he as an individual could have...
