Rush is still being made, but to US restrictions. The original formula, still marketed in Europe, is illegal in the US. Last year, there was a mistake or deliberate error in manufacturing that allowed a substantial amount of European formula Rush to be shipped in the US. This had the trademark that looked like the Superman logo. The Feds stepped in to sweep this contraband up and ensnared a few other manufacturers in their zest. Supplies dried up on the wholesale level, and retail stocks were seized in some areas. There was one death reported in Illinois from "poppers".
We use to carry Video Tech brands D&E Purple and Double Eagle Yellow Video Head Cleaner. We were told they went out of business during the raids, but I notice our wholesaler has just started restocking these. Currently, we are bringing Rush, Jungle Juice and Jungle Juice Platinum in to our stores in northern and central NY. Notices are clearly posted warning buyers not to mix with Viagra or other erection drugs, a very dangerous combination! Never ask for "poppers", ask for liquid aroma or video head cleaner. Cops react to the term "poppers" like you were going into a smoke shop and asking for a "crack pipe" instead of a glass pipe.
