Snug Cupholder!

I've found I've had to downshift into a Starbucks TALL Americano instead of my usual GRANDE size. The MINI cupholders are snug lil' suckers! Just yesterday I watched as my wife wrestled her 12 oz Diet Pepsi can out...and mangled the aluminum in the process.

Sorta reminds me of one of those joke toys where you put your fingers in each end of the tube only to find you can't pull them out

Still havin' a blast! And here comes the weekend!

They are designed that small so you don't bring drinks in your car... you should be motoring, not sipping!

I took me weeks to find a travel mug that would fit in there. Luckily I found one at Target that was on clearance for $2.49
