Whatever happened to Tinsel (Fake Icicles) on Christmas Trees?

Our Christmas tree is up.  However, it doesn’t seem as pretty or as magical as Christmas trees as those in my past.

My wife pointed it out when she mentioned that she missed tinsel, the fake icicles of years gone by.  The hanging silver colored strands on every bough reflected the lights and gave the tree a lovely ambiance.  But you can’t find them in stores anymore.  Perhaps for ecological reasons, stores stopped carrying them.

I searched Amazon.com and found some.  I ordered a box of 2000 strands for $6.00 and change.
