What happened to all the "lucky rabbit's foot" keychains? Not around anymore like when I was a kid...

Ebay

Oh yea...right down the street from the malt shop and put-put course. The seventies and eighties were great.

Hopefully an even more proper burial for a Rabbits foot that only ever wanted to be a Rabbit itself.

The sight of so many rabbits in wheelchairs was just too much for people to handle

You have to go vegan now. Carry a lucky sprig of broccoli.

#Rabbit Lives Matter

Those rabbits weren't so lucky after all?

Maybe people are growing up,,, finally realize all this mystical stuff is bullshit.

I heard all the cool people are praying the rosary now..

Nobody wants them.

Available online.


Why is a rabbit's foot lucky?

A tribe that considered itself descended from hares or rabbits worshiped the animals and carried parts of them for luck.

The foot was particularly lucky; it was a phallic symbol, a totem that represented not only good fortune, but also increased fertility and a bountiful harvest.

Last place I can remember seeing any, was at the fair as a prize for one of the games

And if you got 3 rabbits feet or 5 feathered roach clips you could trade for a def leppard cocaine mirror

You watch Monty python?
I think the rabbit had enough

Lucky rabbit foots was a total scam and lies to make $.
You want lucky. You have to own a full rabbit. That is real luck.

Reminds me. It is the year of the Rabbit now.

Loving all the randomness in the replies!

Chicken feet/claws are better. You can make 'em grab onto stuff by yanking on the string.

Ironically they were never lucky for the rabbits.

I remember that from childhood.

killing animals, any creature of the earth, for fun
or profit
is pure Satanic
ritual conditioning

You have to get the entire living rabbit. You then become the hooman that cares for the rabbit because bunnies are cute.

I'm pretty sure the gift shop at Dinosaur Land has them

A tribe that considered itself descended from hares or rabbits worshiped the animals and carried parts of them for luck. The foot was particularly lucky; it was a phallic symbol, a totem that represented not only good fortune, but also increased fertility and a bountiful harvest. Celtic tribes believed rabbits spent so much time underground they could communicate with gods and spirits, so, naturally, carrying a rabbit's foot would be lucky [source: Panati].

The luck of the rabbit's foot endured generations and crossed into modern culture. By the 16th century, the rabbit's foot was mentioned in literature as a way to ward off aches and pains. It shows up again in African American hoodoo, a combination of African folk legend and European tradition, and by the 20th century, had taken on a set of specific rules. For example, the left rear foot of a rabbit was luckiest. Better still was the left rear foot of a rabbit killed in a cemetery at midnight. It seems the rabbit's foot was a counterculture talisman, able to take the worst kinds of evil and subvert them by its very existence [source: Treadwell].
