I thought the whole Ice-Nine thing in Cat's Cradle was pretty famous by this point. It's like Janet Leigh dying in the shower in Psycho — everyone knows about the twist, but they like it anyway.

How many pop culture references to Cat's Cradle have you seen? Even that shower scene - I've seen references, jokes, even the scene but I have not seen the film and don't know who Janet Leigh is. And don't say everyone. There are people who have not even heard of Psycho and there are people who REALLY hate spoilers.

There's a reference (that prompted me to read the book) in a movie by Al Pacino and Colin Farrell (The Recruit.) Not an incredibly good movie (good for a lazy Saturday afternoon.)
