Nearly 50 and this is the first news story I’ve heard about quicksand in my life. As a kid, scooby doo really made me think I’d be hearing a lot more about this dangerous scourge.
Big quicksand really has a top notch media wing, they really keep a lid on the danger…
It’s just waiting for you to get complacent.
I really thought quicksand was a major world problem growing up
Qucksand, ball lightning, Bermuda Triangle…
Lava is an odd case because it’s way more scary in real life than I thought as a kid.
Yessss! Same here. 70’s/early 80’s?
I remember it in The Princess Bride (RIP) and The Never Ending Story. What other movies and shows am I forgetting?
Blazing Saddles and Krull stand out in my mind. But those are just a gnat fart in a hurricane of quicksand references.
Rifleman had it once, Mark and his girlfriend

Not necessarily, there was a shitload of rain up that way last week.
