Lazyweb: I am looking for a list of relatively mundane objects that existed in fiction first, before being brought into corporeal existence. I'm thinking of things like the red Swingline stapler of Office Space, which wasn't sold in red until the movie created a demand for it, or the black M1A Buzz Ricksons jacket that had only existed in green before William Gibson's Pattern Recognition made it the protagonists's signature look.

@firewally @mhoye @brennen to add to that, since I didn't see it on the Tropes, can't you get a Puppers?
