Flops center stage at failure exhibition

LOS ANGELES - Once cast aside as a cringe-worthy mistake, "Colgate Lasagna" has at last found fame... as a top flop at the Museum of Failure.

The dental care brand's 1980s culinary foray joins the lineup of epic fails on display in Los Angeles at a roving pop-up museum that has proved an ironic success.

A model of the Titanic, coffee-based Coca-Cola and the flashy but underpowered DeLorean car from Back to the Future all have a special place among the more than 100 flops of innovation that make up the show, which first opened in Sweden in June before moving to California this month.
