Products That Go Extinct

It's good that civilized people, as opposed to the ignorant, barbaric majority, fret over the extinction of plants and animals. Yes. Good. But what about commercial products that go extinct? Not the crap or evil products that nobody cares about or say, good riddance to, but the good yet endangered products like Sunshine Crispy Crackers and whole green chiles in the small cans. Yes. Sadly, Crumby is outliving a great many of the wonderful products he once knew and depended upon for surety or comfort. Here is another example. This is Crumby's personal binocular harness. Note the twain leather pieces. You don't see those anymore. No. These days the binocular harnesses are all inferior, featuring only one leather piece. Plus, the straps are liable to be elastic, so that eventually they stretch out permanently, rendering themselves obsolete.
The really wierd thing is, Crumby's bin harness has no identifying marks at all. That's right. There is nothing on Crumby's apparatus indicating its origin. So poor Crumby can't trace it down. And Crumby so would like another one just like it. But Crumby can't get another one just like it. Cause it's, boo-hoo, extinct.
