10 Endangered Brands

by Lex Lexington

From Consumerist, here are ten brands that might leave us in 2012. Would you miss any these?

1. Sony Pictures (Karate Kid, Spider-Man)

2. A&W Restaurant (loved it in junior high at the Stamford Town Center)

3. Saab (almost bought a used one at CarMax a few years ago)

4. American Apparel (all my Shirt Woots are printed on their tees)

5. Sears (just bought some shelves for the garage here)

6. Sony Ericsson (had a pre-smart phone phone I really liked)

7. Kellogg's Corn Pops (been eating these tasty nuggets since they were Sugar Pops)

-Can we think back to a more innocent time when it was acceptable to have the word "sugar" in the name of a kid's food?

8. MySpace (but will recent sale rescue it?)

9. Soap Opera Digest (there are no soaps anymore)

10. Nokia (I always wanted one of their tiny, sleek candy bar phones, but they've lagged behind the smart phone revolution.)

So go out and snatch some of these up before they go the way of the Mr. Pibb and Hydrox cookie.

This just makes me happy.
