One of the Mario brothers game on super Nintendo featured quicksand.

My dad had me scared to death of falling in quick sand in the woods somewhere

I did and I also thought there would be much more Kung Fu fighting, too.

Funny enough there is a sign along a bike path that I ride regularly near Spring, TX that warns people to stay on the path because there is quicksand in the area.

When I was a kid this show presented all kinds of scary shite to worry about.

I remember 1976 Chowchilla kidnapping from the news, and a stupid scholastic magazine article, and it made me worried there were gangs of people that were going to kidnap the school bus and bury it.

Oh Hell yea I worried anytime I came across sand that it held quicksand. My precautions paid off - I was never sucked under in that stuff.

Quicksand and Acid Rain fricked my childhood up a little. Playing outside became scary as frick.
