Large drink holders?

I just bought a 2005 Expedition and loving it but what can be done with making these drink holders smaller to hold a regular can without it sliding all around and spilling.
I was wondering if there is a reducer that can go in there.

This is actually pretty funny in my mind. Look back in the 90's when cupholders became a huge selling point in minivans, etc. There were too few and they were too small in many peoples minds.

And look at the obesity of the US population.

Now they have become so large that the normal soda does not fit. Funny.

My EXP came with rubber inserts and that helps for a regular can.

Hope you did not take any offense, I was purely thinking about where the market has gone.

Yep, the inserts actually work pretty good, and with a cubby when you want to take them out, throw em in there.

You can also take them out and wash them in the washer or in the sink to get em real clean.

I just keep a can Koozie in the door pocket. That's about a $1 fix. Plus it keeps your drink cold.

I knew that I was getting old when the cup holders that would hold 64oz double gulps (7-11) were a key feature in choice of the Expy over a Denali. Yes folks when we start to make choices bases on interior features (cupholders, power fold flat rear seat) over the extra horsepower of the GM products it is a sign of being mature. I test drove an 07 Expy and was disapointed that they went to a console shift which puts both cupholders on the passenger side. Other than that I really liked the 07, it is a lot quieter than the 04 I have now.

Put huggies in your cupholders, that will reduce their size.
