Looking for funky bike accessories

I don't have my bike that long and was hoping to pick up a few of those great spoke balls we used to have in the 80's. I don't know what they're called and hence can't find them. They used to just pop onto the spokes and would click as they went up and down.

Also, remember the Kelloggs reflectors you could find in the Cornflakes boxes in the 80's? Would anyone know where I might find a few of those?

Thanks a million,
aisling

You tried eBay?

I wasn't sure what they were called so I was holding off but just did a random search on "spokes" and found some. excellent

I haven't managed to locate any Kelloggs reflectors so am still on the hunt for those...

I'm not sure if this is classified as "funky" or not, maybe more innovative and useful but all I want to know is where can I get them (or something similar to them to protect my frames from cable rub? I've used the patch kits but they look fugly, get dirty and fall off! Not a fan, but I really like the look of these!
