Update May 31, 2023:

Bubble wands are for sale again in the Dollar Store. The other day, while walking down the aisle with my arms full of two dozen colorful wands, I got into a discussion with another customer about various bubble liquid formulas to refill empty wands. Finally, I said, "Well, I'm glad to have a fresh supply of them for my funeral." Startled, she said, "Oh, are you dying?" I replied, "Of course, aren't you?" Smiling, I added, "Well, I hope not soon. However, I like to keep lots on hand because you never know." She shook her head and repeated reflectively, "You never know, that's right. Well, it's a different way to look at it."
