Finally Found Iced Tea That Fits the Cupholders

I was ecstatic today when I discovered that Costco's Kirkland Brand Diet Green Tea fits the minuscule cup holders on the CM.

In the big scheme of life, I know this is minor, but if you drink as much iced tea as I do this is an important discovery. LOL

Doesn't take much to excite you.
Cupholders are a bit small and most cups
interfere with the toggles but I've gotten
used to it now.

What I'm super worried about is that one of my coworkers is going to get in the car and immediately push their styrofoam cup into one of the holders and it's going to explode all over the place.
Does anyone know if the cup holders in the back are as small?

Or has anyone found some kind of insert that makes the cup holders larger?

lipton iced tea plastic screw top bottles are thin and tall (i forget the ounces but you will know when you see it.) i like the screw tops to secure the liquids from jumping the rim as i motor.

Just realized that my Wawa coffee cups fit in the cup holders. It's a little tall so it blocks the toggle though I find it's minor since no one is usually in the passenger seat.

The front and back cup holders are the same size.

Thanks ghamma.

I'm not really worried about the cup holders so much for my use. I just worry about any passengers trying to use the cup holder and forcing something into it.

I can fit all kinds of cups and cans in mine. The fingers inside are there to hold the drinks in place but move out of the way. Even togo cups from fast food restaurants will fit without trouble.
