As stated in an interview, [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/03/10/opening-the-portal-exploring-portal-s-creation-and-its-ties-to-half-life-2.aspx?PostPageIndex=3 "Opening The Portal: Exploring The Game's Development"], with Valve, they never expected "The Cake is a Lie" to 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."
