Crocs already existed and were being sold at the time Idiocracy was filmed, and the shoes in the film were purchased from the company. It's true they weren't popular when the movie was filmed, but they became much more popular before the film was released. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/idiocracy-crocs/

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1814873523128840230
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
