Pets.com begs too hard
For the Gen-Zers tuning in, this commercial from 2000 is not only in the yearbooks because there’s a puppet, but because Pets.com showed what happens when tech startups rise fast and crash hard.
The premise of this commercial is a bunch of beloved pets begging their caretakers not to leave. But perhaps Pets.com should have begged its leadership to be smarter with the spending. Pets.com petered out in a mere nine months after going public.
