They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Well, apparently sometimes, at least if we judge by Apple's series of products that they tried to sell under their own brand in the 80s on the wings of the Mac's success. Mind you, there used to be a time when it wasn't a given that people would grab everything Apple had to offer. iSurfboard, iToy Truck, iClip. Yes, even Apple has its bad apples.
If today the competition grabs everything that comes from Apple, well, believe it or not, that wasn't always the case. Admittedly, we have to go back a long way for that, but still. When Apple z Mac hit the nail on the head, it put wind in its financial and brand sails and logically they wanted to take advantage of that wind. No wonder, then, that, among other things, they ventured into surfing waters, as they offered one of the lightest windsurfing boards (or windsurfing).

Although Apple today has a really huge collection of technical products, probably only a few people know that they once had one clothing collection. This and many other unusual products have been around for years 1986 found in catalog, who heard the name "The Apple Collection". Although it also contains a lot of such products, which every real person is after today hipster, but there are also many that quickly fell from the otherwise blooming 'apple tree' and rotted. But we learn from our mistakes and a rotten apple is good fertilizer, so I doubt that Apple will want to bite into the sour apple again, e.g. children's toys or desks.
