I think a similar thing happens with solo cups because they are in so many movies but they don't get them over there

Nope. Solo cups look like they're fit for purpose. School buses look like a joke.

A friend working at a US Chinese restaurant once took a takeout order from an English guy who was visiting with his wife for the first time, who specifically asked if the order could come in those folded-paper takeout containers. Normally, they just used those for rice, but he granted their wish.

It was a cute story. The wife didn't know they weren't as common as they are in romcoms from the 80s and 90s and that most modern places use plastic clam-shells, but he wanted to re-create her idealized American experience. He did not break the illusion to her.
