I did learn something from this article, though. I had no idea that people use coasters in the cupholders in their car.
Me, either. What, exactly, is a coaster that goes into your cupholder? What is its purpose? Is it flat and just sits at the bottom of the cupholder? Why would I want one.

I have been puzzling over this since reading the first post. Please put me out of my misery and someone explain what the purpose or need would be for inserting a flat object in the bottom of my cupholder . . .

I have seen cupholder coasters that soak up the condensation so your cupholder doesn't get gross inside. Maybe that's what it is?

+1
But I'm one of those weirdo car fanatics that does not eat or drink in the car.
Verboten!

I guess that makes sense since one site refers to them as "absorbent". I don't use my cupholder very often so I didn't even realize this was a problem.

Oh, yes. Now I remember encountering them - They were next to the Mispell family.

So money is spent to print something onto something that sits in a hole and is rarely seen (beneath a sweating Big Gulp)?
Brilliant...

yes, isn't it? Donated or not, that money could have been much better spent. Being a teacher myself, I enjoy little appreciation gifts from time to time, but I usually end up with a bunch of crap that I throw away anyhow.

Oh. Well I wondered. Sounds like it would suck up goop and quickly turn into a medium for incubating bacteria.

But hey - what do I know. I use stadium cups if I am taking my iced tea with me - and wrap them with napkins to catch the moisture. I guess that looks kinda crude, but at least that way I can throw out the damp napkins and no goop left in the cupholder. I guess that is pretty tacky compared to a real cupholder coaster, misspell or not, lol!!!
