Every time I encounter a mandatory "ZIP code" feature I use the one zip code that non-Americans are likely to remember: 90210.

Same here. If they ask for a full US address, I put 1 Sunset Blvd, Beverly Hills CA 90210 (not sure if that's actually a valid address, but in my experience plenty of web sites think it is).
