Where have you actually come across a 555 timer in the wild?

mc:
In a 24 to 12volt dropper for trailer electrics on a lorry. Quite an over-engineered solution, but I'm guessing they just keep using an old design rather than redesign it.

TheWelly888:
I've seen medical equipment that uses those 555 and 556s ICs for basic square wave generation.

fcb:
I designed one into a product last month.  It generates ~96KHz to bootstrap an isolated supply (until the system is booted and can generate precision 96KHz).

Kryoclasm:
Recently in a rooftop flashing beacon.
