I remember a trick in The New Tops that involves gimmicking a Burger King ashtray! The author actually went to great lengths explaining how you could steal an ashtray from Burger King without getting caught! (It’s moot now, but Burger King wouldn’t have cared if you took one of their ashtrays.
I also remember ordering a trick which used a gimmickry can of Coca Cola. When it got delivered, it was an experimental can of Coke, where the design was a red a white checkerboard pattern that Coke has stopped using years ago.

No joke. I had to go to 5 banks to scrounge up 4 of them. I still have several old ones though I just had to shine them up, but wanted fresh ones. I was afraid to ask for any "silver dollars" then as I am sure I would get an even more confused and horrified look. I use mostly quarters anyway as even long ago no one had any half-dollars. I almost had to resort buying them off eBay lol. I know they also sell replica ones made for magicians, and "palming coins" etc. Seems the only way to get Walking Liberties is on eBay or magic sites and get expensive. But I found it odd that 5 banks barely had any half dollars. So luckily I got some and saved my old ones.

Do they still sell “Phone-y Ring?” It was a battery operated telephone with a prop receiver. You could trigger the bell and pull the receiver out of anywhere. Had one, never used it. Ended up giving it away when I was doing a show called; “The Man Who Came To Dinner.” They were using an alarm clock for a telephone bell! For some reason that I don’t recall, I had a war-surplus radio transmitter which I donated and, as it was set in the 30’s and the character was supposed to read from a copy of “Time,” I told them to change the line to “Newsweek” and gave them my “Grant’s Newsweek Production!”

Can't we recycle the straws instead of exterminating them?
