Are floppy disks still manufactured? Or are companies now just selling off the old stock that's in the various distribution systems and warehouses?

Floppy disk quality has been pretty poor for the last 5+ years... I remember when (oh dear, sounding old!) Tandy in the UK used to sell boxes of 10 single sided DD disks for more than £43!!! I think anyone would have cried if a read/write error was found on one of those!!!
