Cup Holders that work

vkykam · #1 02-13-2002, 04:36 PM

I stumbled across this cup holder while at Canadian Tire. Costs a whopping $3.99CDN.

As long as you don't use the cigarette lighter, it seems like the perfect solution...

It comes in 5 pieces, a rubber piece that goes into the cigarette lighter socket, a second piece that goes inside the cigarette lighter, and from there extend out to the first elbow, a third piece that goes from the first elbow to the second elbow, a fourth piece that is the round piece and connects to the second elbow, and a fifth piece that forms the "U" on the round piece.

Well, I'll know what to bring down to the next meet then...

Mmmm... Donuts...

Personally, I think the original Krispy Kreme rules, especially when they are warm. Unfortunately, Timmy donuts aren't anywhere near as soft. The coffee, however, well, I just refuse to drink anything else.

The just opened a Krispy Kreme near me... Having never had their donuts, I may shoot over there for one or 2 based on your recommendation. It will, at least, give me a reason to drive the svx (havnt driven it since sunday.)

I couldnt imagine it being any better than the heavenly bliss created by a freshly made Dutchie.

My assistant at work goes to Phoenix on occassion and always brings me back a dozen Krispy Kremes or so. Being in the middle of wheatfields in Washington, we don't see them very often. They rock!!!

Krispy Kreme opened their first store in Canada back in early December, about 1/2 hour from where I live.

On their first day, they did $70kCDN sales, a record for Krispy Kreme. Since then, the lineup has been non-stop, literally 24 hours a day.

When the store was opened, there was a heated tent for people to line up outside, and quite often people lined up for over an hour and a half. For the drive thru, which is open 24 hours a day, I've personally seen a 100+ car lineup, with a cop on traffic duty.

Not only were they making donuts, they were essentially printing money...

I couldn't believe how soft it was when it was fresh. And even after a 1/2 day, put it in the microwave on high for 8 seconds, it was like fresh. UNBELIEVEABLY soft.

I supposed they did pick the right country to open a donut shop. Per capita, USA has 1 donut shop per 27,000 people. Up here in the great white north, it's 1 donut shop per 9,000 people.

But Tim Horton still wins in the coffee department hands down, in my book.

Looks like we should be talking about donut holders to me. I guess we need a beverage holder to hold the coffee to go along with the donuts.

We are going to get a Krispy Kreme store in Burlington in the near future. Traffic is already getting bad, but it sounds like it will be worse when they come in.

Donut Holders?!? Why?

Coffee takes time to drink. The only donut holder I need is my stomach.

Nick, in the future, please refrain from using the words "donuts" and "butt-crack" in the same post. It's most unappetizing.

Gee, that's very kind of you. However, with these guy's track record, Krispy Kreme may Krumble before they get it done. Last trip 24 Days. This trip, 9 Days and counting. SHEESH!!!

Since I didn't see any comments on the cup holders (I like donuts too).......I like that cupholder and I would buy one if I could find it. I bought one of those cheap Wal-Mart deals that goes on the door. It didn't hold up well to much weight and looked stupid so it now resides in my center councel (it is actually more useful there). If anybody knows where in the stats, Northeast preferably) to get on that would be very cool!
