Beware of Styrofoam Cups

I am sure all of you are aware that certain places still use styrofoam cups for drinks. This is not a good idea for two reasons. First they are not environmentally friendly, and secondly they are prone to puncture! This is a bad combination if you happen to be in your vehicle when the cup puncturing takes place. David and I had just visited one of our favorite Chicken places and ordered a couple of drinks to go. I was driving and Dave proceeded to insert the straws in our drinks. The next thing I know Coke is squirting all over me and the car. In his shock he tries to plug the massive hole the straw has creating in the side of the cup. When that doesn't work a look of pure panic crosses his face, as we are in my car. Finally through all my laughter I manage to get the window down so we can get the coke hemorrhaging cup out the window. At this point I can barely see through my tears to drive and park the car. I do finally manage to pull over and we start to mop up the full cup of coke. Unfortunatley the Resturant only gave us 2 napkins, so we are left with a full front seat covered in sticky coke and a long 5 minute drive back home. So beware, styrofoam cups lead to sticky cup catastrophes.
