Cup holders that won't hold cups!

Cup size.....sexist laugh (joke).

I'd suggest you find a Toyota branded special cup (even with a lid) to utilize when you wish to drink in the car.
(We do that with Mercedes.)

Else, I'd try to be creative building some soft foam or Styrofoam inserts.

Good luck in solving!

 

My 7-Eleven double gulp cups fit perfectly.

 

what is so special about these cups? why not use a travel mug? I have a yeti tumbler that fits just fine. It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold

 

How does it know?

I truly laughed so hard at this I had to explain to my father what I found so funny.

 

You can remove the gripper finger but pulling it out.

 

I found a big styrofoam cup at a nearby gas station that snugly fits. I just reuse that until I pass by the place again. I then stop in and throw the old cup away and get a new drink.

 

i think we're talking teacups people.

 

It takes a mug just right - push the middle divider down.

 

who drinks tea out of a mug?

 

Not if the solution was a plastic bottle and straw

 

i hope that wasn't a joke, it simply isn't cricket.

 

Did he recognize it? It was a favorite of my dad's, but I thought it was something he remembered from the Mel Brooks/Carl Reiner "2000 year old man" bits, which I've never been able to confirm. They did more than one "greatest invention" shtick, but I don't think that was in it.

Here's somebody attributing it to Steve Martin ... in the form "how do it know?", which wasn't the way Dad remembered it.

In that form, Google has a lot more hits, usually just saying it's really old (and according to more than one, originally had a racist setup, definitely not the way Dad remembered it, wouldn't have tickled him so much that way).

Mysteries at every turn....

Coffee!!!

 

oh, that's more like it. coffee fits in a travel mug, which fits fine in the prius cup holders.

 

Why, me of course!

To be read in a Cockney accent: "Ye're roight, me old china."
And once again for non-Brits, in cockney rhyming slang china is short for china plate = mate (buddy).

 

Travel coffee cups tend to have trouble when they get empty/light. You kind of have to work them in. But if you have a reusable cup (even more reason to use one) it seems to be just fine.

Then again a piece of electrical tape would probably hold those size adjuster arms in.

 

Always wondered why the center had that spring load adjust-ability between the cup holders.
