I’m pretty sure my uncle started that haha. He had a Zip drive and just couldn’t let the name go when we moved everything over to usb sticks.

For real though, he’s the only person I know who calls usb sticks “Zip drives”. It’s funny to think it carried over with other folks because not many people had those things to start with.

Somewhere out there is a Zip disk full of porn I collected as a teenager.
