"it’s really hard to think of counter examples / warning signs of companies were consumers love the product and stock didn’t work in the long run"

This is a circular argument because the unstated assumption here is that consumers will *continue* to love the product, when in reality consumers are often quite fickle. There are so many business cases of consumers falling out of love with a product that it would be a waste of everyone's time to even begin to list them. Countless examples in the video game and mall-based retail sectors alone.

Try some of the cannabis or low dose THC drinks. Better than alcohol.

Counter example: LaCroix, which is owned by National Beverage (FIZZ).

The jury is still out on Yeti. It's still a popular brand, but has lost some of its luster because of Stanley.

Agree on Zyn. This recent shortage due to factory fire has opened my eyes to it more. People are struggling to find suitable replacement. The brand name has turned into a verb and even with it being off the shelf, everyone is clamoring for it as the competition not as good.
