Stretch Armstrong was boring to play with after 5 min.
SST Evel Knievel didn’t go past 5 feet bf falling over.
That styrofoam glider plane wing’s would fall off when you threw it.

Mouse Trap was up there for me. Don’t think I ever played the game. Just wanted to catch the mouse & every time you set off the trap it would get stuck 1/2 way down

Insofar as personal hygiene products go, I'd say Irish Spring soap was a big let down for me, not to mention the trouble I got into for cutting all the bars of soap in the house in half with a knife just like the guy in the commercials. (This was early to mid 1970s)
