I don’t know who was in charge of designing the cup holders in my Toyota Tacoma, but they did an awful job. As a result, I found this upgraded car cup holder and tray combo, and it’s a game-changer.

The cup holder base is expandable, so it easily fits almost any vehicle while giving you a bigger spot that’ll fit any fountain drink, Yeti HydroFlask, and anything else you take on your travels. That alone makes it worth buying. But then there’s also an add-on cup holder tray that swivels 360 degrees and is perfect for storing your phone, keys on keyless start vehicles, or in my case, fast food. It’s like having your own movie theater or airplane tray table but in the car. Get one, and you’ll love it too.

Are you a huge fan of Wordle and absolutely stuck today? Let me guess; you’re hanging out on guess four or five and feeling the pressure. We get it entirely: nothing feels worse than losing your streak. If you’re not ready to outright cheat, we have you covered with hints and today’s Wordle answer. Read More »
