New Car Necessity: French Fry Holder

Friesandthings

Admit it — you’ve had this happen to you before. You pull up to the fast food window, order a No. 1 meal and head home. But the smell of the french fries is just too much. You must have one, or 20, before you reach your destination. Of course, to grab one of these golden sticks of bliss you have to negotiate the bag. Unwrap the top, cock your arm at a 90 degree angle at the elbow and dive in. It’s a difficult experience — and one that no longer need ruin your fast food run.

A company called Kent Enterprises has created Fries & Things: a holder shaped to fit french fry containers that pops right into a standard cupholder. This may be too mind-blowing to comprehend for many of you, but for just $2.99 your fry woes are over.

This is disgusting. Bigger seatbelts, french fry holders...people need to get out of their cars and start walking or riding their bikes more!

And to think, all I want is a cup holder to hold my 1/2-liter bottle of water and this is not standard in many cars.

It's the perfect feature for Chrysler's '07 Sebring (or Cadillac's now-departed Escalade Ultimate). Both have climate-controlled cupholders, all the better to keep those grease sticks piping hot.

well if you want to be healthy like CT says you could also use the "cold" function on that cupholder for celery sticks!!!
