So fascinated w/ failed & completely forgotten Y2K era products like this: Skim(.)com clothing -- each piece had a unique email address plastered all over it, that anyone could contact. They went on a huge $$$ media blitz in 2000, only to fail a year later. Anyone remember this? https://t.co/sT8TCUNi3N
