Mistakes of the 1980s
sometimes expensive

NEW YORK (AP) — Adding up the expense —
financial and otherwise — of berthing the garbage
barge, undoing the “new Coke’ fiasco, paying for
Hollywood's flops, and making ketchup a condiment
again instead of a vegetable, mistakes of the 1980s cost
. .hoo boy

Toerr was as human in this decade as in any, maybe
more so. Ask anyone who bought stocks the day before
Black Monday. Ask the Pentagon procurement guy
who signed for that $7,622 US coffeemaker. Ask Gary
Hart

Here are some flubs, slips, bloopers and clarifiac-
tions of the ’80s, some more expensive, noisy and public
than others

1. Most of the world hadn’t heard of Islip, N.Y.,
before March 1987, when a bargeload of trash set out on
a trip to a landfill. But then the seagoing junkpile was
rebuffed by six states and three nations. The Mexican
navy went on alert, and so did the American T-shirt in-
dustry

barge’s wanderings. Humorist Dave Barry envisioned it
in the Persian Gulf, fighting off an Iranian attack with
swarms of “courageous flies.””

“‘Islip’s garbage has become the laughingstock of
the Eastern Seaboard,” lamented the town’s super
visor, Frank Jones.

CRYING IN THEIR COKE
2. Nobody was laughing at Coca-Cola Co. in the
wake of the decision in 1985 to reformulate the soft
drink that had become the most popular in the world
The fizz on ‘new Coke” had barely stopped
tickling before the company came out with Coca-Cola
Classic — old stuff, new cans

Johnny-Carson plotted the gar-

costing something like $5 million US, ‘It Came... and
Went,” said Variety magazine.

5. When Congress makes a mistake, fortunately it
only takes a vote to correct it. Take the 51-per-cent pay
raise members proposed to give members in 1989. Con-
stitutents proposed giving members something else. The
House voted the measure down, 380-to-48, in February
1989.

Nine months later, members held another vote,
hiked pay, and caught planes out of town

6. Another legislature issue, regulating buttocks
exposure in nightclubs, hamstrung the Denver city
council. The problem was a legal definition (one
proposal began, ‘‘The area... . located around the lower
backbone between straight lines drawn from the outer-
most point of the pelvis’’), not to mention the public’s
concern that council members had better things to do.

In the end, they decided to sit on it.

In 1986, a topless doughnut shop closed after one

8. Rise and fall of a condiment: In 1981, ketchup
briefly thought it was a vegetable. ‘Somebody got
overambitious in the bureaucracy,”’ explained then-
U.S.-President Ronald Reagan after withdrawing the
Agriculture Department’s school lunch regulation,
equating the two

9. A discount chain|s television commercial in Seat-
tle in 1986 offered a stereo system for ‘299 bananas.”
How many customers do you think took it literally and
got stereos for the equivalent of $40 to $607. up, a bun
ch

THE TOP TYPO

10. The government of Brunei gave $10 million US

to help the Contras fight in Nicaragua, according to

“Biggest marketing travesty ever,”’ f ed
Jesse Meyers, publisher of Beverage Digest, earlier this
year

3. Kraft Co. could claim runnerup status for its
1980 promotion offering a snazzy $17,000 van in a

cheese contest, which instead brought a vanload of,

lawsuits when a printing error made thousands of
people *winners.’’ They matched half a picture of a van
in anad with the other halfina Kraft package

The company, which ended up offering cash prizes
and four vans instead of one, figured the mistake cost $4
million

Lawyers found a silver lining. Said one at the time:
““We have five secretaries just taking the calls.””

4. Ever heard of Caboblanco? Somebody came up
with the idea of remaking Casablanca with Charles
Bronson playing Humphrey Bogart’s role. The 1980
film lost an estimated $8 million US.

In the same year, Xanadu, with Olivia Newton
John roller-skating the role of a reincarnated Greek
muse, cost a reported $20 million US to make, and
grossed $11 million

COMES AND GOE

Hollywood — a sendup-pastiche of bad films? After

2 But in the typo of the decade,
somebody hit the wrong key and the loot ended up in the
Swiss account of alucky stranger.

11. Clarification of the decade: ‘‘I’m a comedian,
not a politician,’’ said Jackie Mason, whose one-liners
while working for New York mayoral candidate
Rudolph Giuliani's 1989 campaign amused few
Giuliani lost, and Mason’s television show, Chicken
Soup, was canceled

12. Elvis is NOT dead, it was learned in the late
"80s. In one of several sightings, a shopper saw him in
Felpausch’s grocery store in Vicksburg, Mich. “E.P
Call Home’’ bumper stickers appeared. Incidentally,
Elvis made $15 million US from licencing and records in
1988

13, ‘*Herb the Nerd” was spotted in some Burger
King ads in 1986, before the fast-food chain yanked its
spokes-rube and later changed ad agencies

14, “Follow me around,”’ Gary Hart told reporters
in 1987. They did. ‘‘Let the people decide,’* the can
didate said later. They did, too

15. Retraction of the decade: In 1983, West Ger-
many’s Sterg magazine announced the discovery of 60
volumes of diarjes supposedly written by Adolf Hitler

song sheets to share and enjoy this

Special visitors for the occasion were
Bozo and Coco, a clown duet who led
children and adults through a number
of truly bilingual games — bilingual
because each game began with two ex.
planations; one in French, one in
English.
