Stretching the definition of an antique "meme", but here's an image from 2016 about a message board gag in 2006. (startrek.website)

Yep, back in the very early 2000s, this was something we did at school to jokke around.

The cupholder joke was neat, it had a nice official looking UI with the Coca Cola logo, and a corporate style promotion text, there was a button to click to accept the "gift", and only then did the CD drive open.

Then I remember running a joke program that would make the startbutton jump around on the screen.
