Some have tried to recreate the joke in real life, sometimes with [[https://www.reddit.com/r/talesfromtechsupport/comments/ur4seq/the_cup_holder_joke/ disastrous results.]] This has gone full-circle with some computer accessory makers actually making [[https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fhtpkr7hqge121.jpg real cup holders]] that can be slotted into an empty 5.25'' drive bay.

The one that's made in the story is a cup holder that works in zero gravity. It becomes ridiculously popular.
