Cupholder? What cupholder?



Today I went by Wendy's to get lunch on the run. I had to go by the bank and make a deposit, and it was lunchtime and I was hungry. I ordered a single hamburger, fries and drink. The hamburger and fries were packaged nicely in a paper bag and the cup, well, I am not sure if it had the lid on securely or not. But it was placed securely in my cupholder - that I know for a fact!




After getting my order, I waited for my place on the main road. Pulling out of Wendy's I could see in my periphial vision the yellow cup fell to the floor. My delima - do I reach for it and possibly have the lid pop off and Coke splatter the floor and my legs, do I let it fall and hope the lid is secure and the contents drizzle out? Well I decided to take my chances and let it fall, hoping for the best. Upon impact, I am assuming, the lid does pop off and 3/4 of my drink, along with ice, are now on the floor of my CR-V. Thankfully it is a warm day and it will dry soon. But my question is this - - - why couldn't Honda make an actual cup-holder that would work?

Girl I know how you feel. I had a CRV until last year and I always had the same problem when I bought a soda. Turns out, it's the restaurants doing this because I have my Saturn Ion now and I had the same thing happen to me ---from Wendy's no less!

It's a conspiracy from Wendy's. May be we should boycott them but I do like their hamburgers and the charity organization they support. Oh well, so much for boycotting.
