It is sort of funny.  Europeans make fun of our Super Big Gulps.

The Germans were reluctant to put cup holders in our vans.  Even when they
did, they would only hold cans or small bottles.

The EuroVans come with a floor console that has tiny cup holders.  Only the
US models had this console.

The Germans are changing if not slowly.  I didn't see any Big Gulps on my
last visit, but they now sell the same larger cup holders we have.
