The last thing I bought that used the ol' 9 volt "square" battery is the GE transistor radio that I bought when I was in Boy Scouts back in 1980. Bought it so I could try to listen baseball games when we into northern Wisconsin for camp (Camp LeFeber IIRC). (At that time, none to be found.) I still have that radio, and it is in my bug out kit at the moment, and I check it seasonally with whatever sporting event is going on at the time here in the greater DC area. Still works after 25 years.
