Once upon a time, the Jews were running low on oil to light their lamps. They really didn't want to spend money on any additional oil. They put the remnants of their oil in the lamp, and the lamp stayed lit for 8 days, and even 8 nights.
The Jews celebrate this moment of thrift each year, calling this festival "Hannukah".
A "Hannukah bowl" is a bowl that lasts much longer than initially anticipated.
When a nearly-kicked see definition of "kicked" bowl lasts longer than previously expected.
I was so upset when he handed me the bowl and said, "it's kicked", but then I took a pull and got a big hit; two hits later, we revelled in our Hannukah bowl.

Ipod Hannukah
When one's ipod battery indicator shows that the ipod will die shortly but ends up lasting for hours thereafter, much to the surprise of the user. Alludes to the Jewish tradition of Hannukah in which the Jews' oil lasted for eight days instead of the predicted one.
After seeing the batterymeter on my ipod, I was sure that it would die within the hour but ended up lasting all through the day. Happy Ipod Hannukah!
