Who would buy a ea-ed cupholder if someone was to make them?

cant believe that having no cup holders becomes a huge problem. For most of my drinks i clean out the middle console and try to stick it in there :voldar02:

you can buy cup holders for like $2 at supercheap auto. They hang from your air vents inside the car. They look tacky but they just clip right off, so when you need them you can simply clip it onto your vent. I was gona get one but i was buying something else at the time.

That's why I use CDs to ensure the maccas coke remains upright. I just think of the centre console as an oversized cupholder
