Pool Noodle?
Some of them are quite clever, Americanisms aside.

I had never heard the term "Pool Noodle" until watching the Simpsons yesterday
Now I've heard/read it four times in 24 hours. Odd.
Also why is it a noodle? Noodles don't float and don't stay in long cylindrical shapes.

That's the 'Baader-Meinhof phenomenon'
Which is something I oddly found out by hearing 'Baader-Meinhoff' twice in one afternoon - once in a film title and then in a book mentioning the phenomenon (which I wasn't purposefully looking up).

I always assumed it was an American-sized serving of a Pot Noodle
