Usage
I have not. The arms have some tension on the vessel. I guess if the vessel was less than the minimum finger location, it could wiggle. I have SS coffee holder that works great. Out of town or would measure. I thought the website gave some dimensions, but it has been months since it was delivered.

I got my hot glue gun out and snugged up the divider, but I never put anything other than a sealed water bottle in the cupholders. My wife drove it last week and broke the divider by dropping her phone on it, so I ordered one from C7Cupholder.com It hasn't been delivered yet, but it looks promising from what I have read.

I do wish the lead in on the fingers was a bit more generous to help larger cups find the hole easier.

Cup holders! We don't need no stinking cup holders. Honestly though, if you have two things in there it always works better, but anything not a standard "can" size is just going to flop around.
I only use my cup holders to transport things from the 7-11 to my house. When I am legit driving, I don't have beverage in the car. Maybe water for a long trip. But there is a no drink policy in my car. A buddy of mine got a refill at a fast food joint of on of those giant cups. We got into the parking lot and I asked, where he was going to put that, and he said in the cup holder, I said absolutely not. Made him chug the whole thing right there, an unsecured lid on a non water beverage in my Corvette, over my dead body.
I rarely let people drink in my Bronco or Ranger, and eating... out of the question. As a kid, I couldn't eat or drink in the car, I survived, so will everyone else. I seriously only have ate in a car on a road trip as an adult, I will as a passenger sometimes have a drink, almost never as a driver.

You guys crack me up "no eat or drink policy in the car" ahaha Anything can be cleaned/wiped up if needed. Are you also the ones that don't drive it in the rain? 
I agree the cup holders are sub par. I usually have a Celsius energy drink which is a smaller can. My ghetto solution was to get paper towel and stuff it in the cup holder to take up the space. Close the lid an never see it. I bought the car to enjoy it as much as possible. Autocross it, daily it, date night, road trip....log miles of smiles.

Thats what makes me happy. If eating or drinking in yours makes you happy then do it. There is nothing wrong with either.

Cleaning the exterior of the car is way easier than the interior. Interiors absorb things, exteriors don't. To me eating in a car is the equivalent of throwing rocks at the exterior. Sure it can be fine, but probably its not.

Perhaps my wife and I are unusually gifted, but we've driven 4 Corvettes during 25 years for a total of 250k+ miles. We use them as daily drivers, autocrossers, and long distance road trippers. We eat fast food and drink pop in the cars a fair amount. Our interiors have been tan, gray, and black. Occasionally, we spill something and clean it up.
When we eventually sell/trade the car, it has no evidence of any spills. There will be some abrasion/wear in typical areas, no damage from our chow.
