This is a question Failed Projects

You start off with the best of intentions, but through raging incompetence, ineptitude or the plain fact that you're working in IT, things go terribly wrong and there's hell to pay. Tell us about the epic failures that have brought big ideas to their knees. Or just blame someone else.

Cola Fizzers
You all know this one I'm sure:

1 glass of cola + 1 sweet = really fizzy, sweet cola and a lot of mess.

Using this logic, my brother deduced:

1 bottle of cola + 500 penny sweets= amazingly fizzy cola in a convenient bottle for future consumption!

In reality...? It made a thick, petrol like brown paste with colourless chewy bits in it, and no fizz at all. My mum told him that since he'd spent all that money on it he had to drink it. Apparently it was disgusting in taste, texture... and after drinking half of it he ran around the living room completely caffeinated and then threw up.
