Things I Thought Were Extinct 

Did you ever see a commercial for something and think, "I can't believe they still make those." Well here's a list of things I thought you couldn't buy anymore/companies that went out of business/organisms that were extinct: 

1. Mitsubishi Galant 

This car has looked exactly the same since the 2004 model year. It's shocking that you can buy a brand new car in 2013 that looks just like something from 2004.

One of these cars is a 2004, the other can be purchased brand new right now. Can you tell the difference? The grill is the only significant change. The headlights and everything else pretty much look the same. In case you're still wondering, the red one is almost ten years old, and the silver one is the current model.

2. Blockbuster Stores

I saw one not too long ago, so that dispels any myth that they're completely gone.

3. Kmart (aka Lame Mart or K-Fart)

I just saw a commercial for their new layaway program. 

4. Mavis Beacon Typing Program

I'm sure most people remember being forced to use this software at some point in their life. The rule was you have to play Mavis Beacon for 20 minutes before playing Oregon Trail. Anyways, you can still buy the software on Amazon.com.

I'm just curious as to why there are three different actresses portraying Mavis. What happens to them? 

5. The Coelacanth

I can't begin to tell you how relieved I was to hear that some scientists found one of these things swimming around Indonesia in the late 1990s. I thought they were gone forever.

According to Wikipedia, the Coelacanth cannot be eaten because its flesh exudes an oil that makes it taste foul. How would anyone ever know that if only one or two have been seen in the last hundred years? 

6. Pepsi Blue

This stuff actually is extinct. You'll never, ever have another taste of it in your life.
