The Germans take a different approach to solving your drinking-and-driving* dilemma. Instead of a "hole" for to put your favorite beverage in, Volkswagen uses a clamp style cup holder that adjusts to the girth of your beverage holder:
This design eliminates the problem of beverage being too fat to fit or too skinny 95% of the time. Here's a demonstration with a regular water bottle alongside a 32oz Gatorade bottle:
Your big boy 64oz Super Big Gulp® would fall into the 5% no-go category. Since I don't have a 64 oz Super Big Gulp® cup around, here's a 1 gallon water bottle (also a no-go) instead for illustration purposes:
The cup holder also tucks away neatly and out of sight when not in use:
As cool as this cup holder is, it is not without flaws. Besides the 64 oz Super Big Gulp® limitation, here's another major unfortunate design flaw:
CAN'T GET TO THE CD PLAYER WHEN THE CUP HOLDERS ARE IN USE!!!!! sdgskjgsogjswlgsrejgl!
Doesn't look like there's a DIY modification that can correct this problem. But all in all, this is a better design than most.
*Drinking-and-driving does not imply alcoholic content of your beverage while driving. In this instance, it is referring to the act of consuming beverages, regardless of alcoholic content** , while operating an automobile.
**This blog does not condone driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In fact, it is just stupid. Don't do it.
