Floppy disks at 2021?!

[Shachar Shemesh]

Completely off topic to the original question, but something I need for 
my YouTube channel and project: Does anyone know how to buy actual 
floppy disks? I'm talking about 5.25" floppy disks here, not the 3.5".


I need double density, but my Apple //e probably won't complain if I 
feed it high density floppies instead.


Thanks,

Shachar
