cup holders
Beverage slot receptacles
Cup holders are built-in receptacles in vehicles, furniture, or equipment designed to secure beverage containers.
They became standard in American cars in the 1980s and have since proliferated—strollers, movie theater seats, lawn chairs, golf carts.
The number and placement of cup holders in vehicles has become a minor obsession in American consumer culture: This SUV has twelve cup holders.
