Chevrolet Volt

General Motors has decided to kill off the gas-powered Chevrolet Volt electric car and Cruze small sedan. The automaker has stopped manufacturing these vehicles in March 2019. The passenger cars sales have gone downhill because consumers much prefer to cruise around in SUVs, crossover vehicles, and pickup trucks. GM is also planning to pull the plug on the Chevy Impala full-size car. On top of this, it has been shuttering its plants in Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, and Ontario.

Chef Boyardee

Did you know that there was a legit Chef Boyardee? However, his family spelled it “Boiardi”. He launched the company in the city of Cleveland in 1928. Mothers all over the country have been relying on the brand for canned pasts since then! However, Chef Boyardee is no longer the product of choice because people now prefer fresher and healthier food products. In 2014, the brand got the blame for the lackluster sales of ConAgra Foods, its corporate parent. Recently, the company rebranded to Conagra Foods and has been trying to use higher-quality ingredients for Chef Boyardee. While doing this raised the prices of the product, executives remain hopeful that it will lead to positive changes.
