Korean fast food chain BBQ Chicken has introduced the Col-Pop, a cup that holds both food and drink. The lower part of the cup holds soda, with an attached straw. The upper part holds chicken nuggets (and other foods in South Korean restaurants). This innovation could make eating while walking or driving easier, if not safer. BBQ Chicken has outlets in New York, New Jersey, and North Carolina. http://www.seriouseats.com/required_eating/2008/02/bbq-chicken-all-in-one-chicken-nugget-drink-cup.html -via Geek Like Me

That's why American cars can hold a super big gulp...
That is unless it's filled up to the top with soda. Then it's just meant to be enjoyed quickly I guess.
for real though. i don't believe companies look into the long-term effects of products before they bring them out. the only thing they think about is "will this product be profitable". it's really sad that they would rather exploit our weaknesses to make the big bucks than offer something we would actually need.
Fortunately, our gracious hosts recognized that our eating habits were a little different, so they always purchased bottled water in advance for us so we could have it with our meals. Quite a neato experience, all in all.
She's sitting in the car driving down the freeway with two yelling kids in the backseat and most likely she's on the phone at the same time. She isn't really paying attention and grabs her drink cup to take a sip and when she tips the cup up to drink from the bottom she gets a face full of steaming hot -insert fried food and/or spicy sauce- drops the cup of soda all over herself and wrecks the car. Equal portions irresponsible driver and bad packaging, but you know it will happen. Heck, what if the cup is full of coffee or other hot beverages, even worse. Besides this package is designed to cheat you out of your money and food. You're clearly getting a much smaller portion of the drink and food and you know the price won't drop to match the loss of product. Just another reason to eat real food.
The McDLT was a joke compared to this.
