Default Whoever designed the cup holder insert is an idiot

So I went to chik-fil-a for lunch and got a milkshake. When I got home, I grabbed the cup and the lid popped off. So I had milkshake going down the side of the cup into the cup holder. I removed the insert to clean when I noticed more milkshake in the actual cup holder. Come to realize that there are little slots cut out of the bottom of the insert. Whoever designed this was a damn genius. Luckily the plastic interior made it really easy to clean. Now my Chevy Cobalt also has a cup holder insert, but does not come with the nifty slots.

not to flat out burst your bubble here but,you can still clean it. It was designed to grip an item better with our high speed off road activities our vehicles were designed for. I hope this one item has not gotten you that upset.

Cleaning it wasn't a problem. The little slots annoyed me a little.

I'd be more angry that you actually bought a Chevy Cobalt

I thought the designer was a genius. I put it over and leaned on a tree a little, and my cup stayed right there. Did spill a little. But when you can touch the ground from the drivers seat that ain't bad at all.

I like how you can pull out the insert to clean it!

My Cobalt is 1000x better on the highway then the Jeep. And getting 30mpg on an 800mi trip at 70mph is something the Jeep could only dream of.

Lucky for you, you're able to afford 2 vehicles. Politically correct & FUN!
