Subject:      Product Review: Octopus cup/drink/bottle holder.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Kragen, a local FLAPS, has the celebrated and legendary Octopus cup
holder back in stock, now labelled by Bell of helmet fame.  I have an
original from long ago that has given yeoman service.  The new ones
seem to be as rugged and practical as my old one.  Now the packaging
comes in three, count 'em three languages.  A three flags special
indeed.  Quebeqoise (sic), Espanol, and American english all presented
for your reading pleasure.

This thing will porte your boisson, soporte your bebida, or hold your
drink in fine style.  No slip, sits on floor, cooler, other mostly
horizontal surfaces. No expensive drilling of sensitive parts
required, no magnets, no stitcky stuff, gravity stabilized!  Self
adjusting fingers automatically grip large and small drinks (almost
human!)  Designed to hold mugs with handles (major thang).  Comes
apart in a flash to dump those dead bees, gum wrappers, used
toothpicks and other detritus of travel that migrate towards the
center of the earth and are trapped by the Octopus.   Cleans up
easily.  Available in formal Henry Ford Black only.  (Avus black for
you old buggers).  Matches most interiors.  Only about five measly
bucks.
