Yeah, it's bogus. This is some speculation that someone put in Wikipedia but there's no published source. It's just a folk etymology that some enthusiast thought was endearing. Not a single reputable source will substantiate this, like most folk etymologies.

Ziploc is definitely the most popular and known brand. It seems really weird that they waited to put that information at the very end of the article.
