that's right, "curtain-jams."
The cup holder is big enough for a 12 oz. can on the 100/200, it's just that the bottom of the holder has an indented center that is not as wide as a 12 oz. can. Now, if we were a regional carrier for a better airline, say....oh, I don't know...JetBlue, we would serve Arizona Iced Tea, which fit great into that smaller notch in the bottom. But, you know...Atlanta...home to Coca-Cola and the most annoying airline ever.
Anyone else have a problem with the ashes from their cigarette blowing around while trying to use the ashtray? Luckily the packs on the 100/200 suck, so the breeze from the A/C is not too great, but still blows the ashes around
