It was like totally invented after World War II, although no one totally knows when. The foam it's made out of was invented in 1941, but we went to war in December of that year and all the foam production was dedicated to things like making navy ships float better. After the war they had all these neat things that were used to beat the Nazis but no Nazis to use them against, so they invented civilian applications for them--like plastic cups.
