During the whole Bill Clinton impeachment stuff he invested his entire savings and cashed out all his .com stocks to make a working Harmonica that was shaped like Monica Lewinski, and even had a dress with a "stain" on it. The tagline on the box was something about having fun Blowing into it.

The product was called Harmonica Lewinsky, and he thought it would be a high selling gag gift. He couldn't get any retailers to carry it, not even Spencers Gift, and ended up with a couple storage lockers full of them. He had even flown to China to oversee the prototype, which was expensive back then. His wife ended up leaving him and I remember his kid wore the same clothes to school for days at a time and had to eat the free school lunch for poor people and beaners.

I'm too ashamed to tell the full story (which almost no one IRL knows about, thankfully), but I once blew around $5k creating a gag gift product that no one bought. To be fair, once I had some made and the shippment arrived ffrom China, I lost interest and never even bothered trying to get anyone to retail them for me.

That said, I did get a handful of sales online.
