Fountain of Youth

so, we've got these relatively new shelving carts at work... they are not much different than the old ones; same company (Rubbermaid); same color (gray); same size, still four wheels... but the new ones have drink holders.

Everything in America now has cupholders (to the point where people expect them; urban legend or truth, there is the story of the woman who called her computer tech to tell him that she broke the cupholder... which was actually the disc drive...)

A few years back i saw a commercial for a minivan... holds five, six adults but had SEVENTEEN CUPHOLDERS. now, since when do five people need 3.4 drinks? a PIECE? In a VEHICLE? And by law, not one of the drinks can even be alcoholic...

with that many cupholders, i think that Dodge Caravan had better have a pee bucket tucked away somewhere...
