In Portal, Hoopy the Hoop was a hoop fallen from the sky among the wreckage of GLaDOS at the end of the game. Hoopy landed on the Aperture Science parking lot in front of Chell just before being dragged off by the Party Escort Bot.
As stated in an interview, "Opening The Portal: Exploring The Game's Development", with Valve, they never expected "The Cake is a Lie" would become such a huge hit. They expected, if anything, that Hoopy the Hoop would become the meme derived from Portal. Erik Wolpaw explains, "We thought we should have a warehouse full of Hoopy t-shirts and mugs and posters…we would watch that hoop roll by over and over again. That was the part of the game we were most proud of, and nobody cared."
