Popsockets at McDonald's - I'm shocked

I would not have thought that this might happen but it has: For the first time in my life I have come across an English word at a McDonald’s in Germany that I don’t know. And yet here it is: popsockets

I saw it today at the McDonald’s of my choice.

I help out a middle school English teacher in Lahore, Pakistan and one of her students used this word in an essay and the teacher too was baffled. Kids today!

I’ve recently read that more than 4000 words are added each year to the OED each year. Maybe popsocket was added in 2018?

PopSockets® is a registered trademark. I wonder if that affects whether it is added to dictionaries?

I guess it will fall into the same category as other brand names that have been added to dictionaries such as Twitter, Google, Facebook and Rollerblade.
