In 2019, a meme image was posted by Twitter user Vecchitto showing a fake page from the Tetris manual giving the Tetrominos their own names:
• J is "Orange Ricky"
• L is "Blue Ricky"
• Z is "Cleveland Z"
• S is "Rhode Island Z"
• I is "Hero"
• T is "Teewee"
• O is "Smashboy"
Later in the same year, these fake names would appear on an episode of Jeopardy!, mistaken for official Tetris names. Despite being incorrect, the player given the question still answered correctly.
Notably, the hoax manual mentions the colors of the J and L blocks, which were not established at the time, with every block's color palette being based on the level instead of the shape.
