Nostalgic for 1996? Relive it through Celebrate, by Cody
Over the weekend, Good Morning America did a really interesting segment about people who love purchasing discontinued & hard-to-find products. Other than the interest factor, we’re happy to say SHOP.COM, the shopping website that sponsors The Shopping Vine, was mentioned briefly in this piece.
While the segment focuses less on the discontinued products themselves and more on the quirky personalities that love to collect them (ex., guy who loves collecting Pepsi Blue, a woman who wants a Mrs. Beasley doll, etc.), as well as a cute country store in Vermont called Vermont Country Store, it was a nice little plug for SHOP and made me wonder…why the heck do businesses discontinue perfectly good and popular items?
Especially beauty companies. It seems they discontinue lipstick shades and perfumes all the time. I’m guessing it’s to keep you on your toes — and coming back. But no worries…here is a website that will help recreate that shade you wore at the high school prom.
What discontinued item are you still mourning? Share it here…
