Do you call it a Cup Holder or Drink Holder?
It's an age old battle, drink holder vs. cup holder. The struggle has been raging now for years and years. Which side are you on? What's the difference you're asking yourself? Well, if you don't know, I'm not sure I can tell you.
Haha, the answer is nothing really. More people choose to call it a cup holder rather than a drink holder. The definition of both is anything that can hold a device, such as a cup or other drinking vessel. Pretty straight forward right? It can also be found in many uses, such as a coffee cup holder, or the drink holders at the end of the armrests at movie theaters, or the main place the cup holder got it's start was the revolutionary idea to include an automobile cup holder, etc.
The battle is still raging, so pick a side. If you love the underdog, then drink holder is for you. Want to take the easy fight, well then cup holder is your term of choice.

Wheelchair Drink Holder.
Many individuals in a wheelchair or scooter like the convenience of a cup holder. There are many forms and varieties. Some attach onto the armrest, putting the drink out in front of you. While others attach to the side. This can include flip-down models, or models that connect to the framing of the wheelchair. The designs also vary, with particular cup holders specifically meant for bottles or canned beverages, while others allow slots for a coffee cup or mug.
Auto or Car Drink Holder.
Depending on who you're talking to, or which article you're reading on the internet, it's argued that the automotive industry created the cup holder. We're not going to debate it, but the one fact we can agree on is that a drink holder is very commonplace in most cars and trucks today. It seems european auto makers are a bit slow to react, so there are a number of cup holders targetted at imports exclusively. These models usually slide behind a panel in the car, or between the window and the door. There's even one model out there that will fit into existing cup holders, and catches any spills or condensation, keeping your car neat and tidy.
Stroller Cup Holder.
There is a growing need, and trend, for stroller cup holders. As space in cars, garages, or any other general sotrage becomes more and more limited, parents are opting out of the large travel system type strollers for more compact and smaller ones. One of the luxuries they often have to give up, is a drink holder. I admit I've had to shy a few consumers away, as our product does not work on strollers, but I have helped them start a more targetted search in this one of a kind niche market. If you search "stroller cup holder" on Google, eBay, or Amazon, you find the same basic function, in a unique and wide variety of products. The way some attach are very original ideas, and when I encounter other consumers that our product isn't a good fit for, I tend to suggest them looking at a few stroller drink holder models. I've even noticed that besides being very creative inventions, stroller cup holders are some of the cheaper products in the beverage holder category. Stadium Drink Holder
Most stadiums have cup holders built into the armrest like at a movie theater. Some sporting venues do not. Whether drinking a soda or a beer, when it's time to cheer, this can become a huge problem, and spilling your drink on your spouse or date doesn't make for a romantic evening. There are drink holders available that mimic most stadiums, by holding your beverage at the end of your armrest, but also a few more fan oriented types of cup holders. Some padded seat cushions have a cup holder portion attached that dangles between your legs, and if you're at a stadium with bleachers as seating, there's a few clip-on cup holders that slide onto your seat.
