You guys need to lighten up a bit. It much to easy to get a rise out of you by maligning dork disks, and now foam bar covers. BTW,I like to cut them off with an exacto knife.
To answer your question, foam covers went the way of the dinosaurs because of a large meteor that struck the sole manufacturing facility in Dorkania, which was also the only supplier of dork disks.
