Yes I am going to talk about the vuvuzela.
Way back in 1974 when I was 13 yrs old my dad bought one for me where I grew up in Indiana. After I learned how to blow through it properly I took it to all the high school varsity football games I went to. It was pretty cool, because no one else had one and it was loud. My parents and others around me banished me to the student section.
After the season was over I continued to blow the thing at home. After about 2 months one day I came home from school. When I went into my room my horn (what I called it cause didn't know what the real name was then) was no longer sitting in the corner. When I asked my parents and sister about the horn being missing they all claimed not to know what had happened. I was even blamed for misplacing it! I knew they were all lying, but oh well. It only cost my dad $1.50. I guess they figured their piece of mind was worth alot more than that.
Mine was one piece of molded plastic as opposed to the 3 section vuvuzela. The noise made by mine was close to if not the same.
Here is a picture of the vuvuzela
