Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

I haven't had one of these since I was a kid.
Do they still make 'em?

Anybody remember some of this stuff:

When I was an insufferable invincible teenager, I maxed out and snapped the spring in one of those bicycle speedometers on All Angels Hill Rd. All I can say is > 65 mph, the bike tires aren't really in contact with the road all that much. Word of advice - when riding a bicycle, never pass a guy in a hopped up Barracuda on the right. He nearly put me into the ditch. :eek:

This one went away but is apparently back. I suspect I'll be disgusted if I were to try it again:

I have a few boxes of Quisp in my house right now. Quisp tastes similar to Cap'n Crunch. They are both made by the same company. Quake was the counterpart cereal to Quisp back in the day.

The Quake cartoon character was both a cowboy and a miner at different times.

I liked Quake more than Quisp, and either more than Capt. Crunch. Some differences in flavors, may just be because of the different shapes. They all have a certain taste of cardboard, if I recall.
 
Perhaps this has been done... maybe even dun to death...but when I saw this on the street in Osaka, Japan, I thought of this thread...

LOTS of folks smoking here, but 'Larks'?!?
Bloody LARKS??!!??

Cigarette machines are still around in parts of the US. There's a bar in Chesapeake City MD I know for sure has one. Larks I'm not sure of.
