I know this is still around but I haven't seen it since the 70's and hope to never see it again!
( Gee, thanks for the headache Bill.............)
In the '90s, Taco Bell had these coin donation things. The goal was to drop a coin in the top, and get it to land on one of the platforms, so that you could win a taco, burrito, etc.
They used to be filled with blue liquid, but Google doesn't have any pictures of that. Presumably, too many of them sprang leaks, or perhaps it just made the game harder without the liquid to slow down the coin as it fell.

Still have them here. No liquid, though.In the '90s, Taco Bell had these coin donation things. The goal was to drop a coin in the top, and get it to land on one of the platforms, so that you could win a taco, burrito, etc.

I was a K-mart shoe salesman in 1975. I had hit the big-time. Only time in my life I had a shoe collection and this is what it looked like.
i got one of those! At least i did, til my girlfriend broke it
Hers still works fine, tho 
There is one of those 6 feet away from me on my co-worker's desk.
Did you have any of these shoes too?
Sounds rather expensive for a pair of shoes.
Sheeesh! I still have one buried somewhere (unless I threw it out)! Used to use 300 ohm flat antenna wire (young people probably have no idea what I'm talking about).
I kind of miss Ken Berry myself:

Just a really likable guy who got a lot of supporting and guest-starring roles.
