1. Coca-Cola
We know that like all great companies, Coke has always been a the forefront of experimenting with new products. But no. Not this one. Don’t you guys do it. I will switch to Pepsi if this were to ever see the light of day. (Just kidding, Pepsi is for weirdos and people from the north. We’d never quit coke.).

2. Chik Fil A
Everyone loves a Spicy Chicken Sandwich. It’s got great crunch, that pickle-brined chicken flavor and a little heat to let you know you’re still alive. You know the opposite of all of that? A Pumpkin Spice Chicken sandwich. Don’t you think about it Chik-Fil-A – it would be a sin!

3. BBQ
