A great find! This morning, I grabbed a handful of my favorite Jelly Bellys (buttered popcorn, toasted marshmallow, cappucino) to munch on as I drove to work. Where to put them? The side pockets are too vast, and the cupholders were already full (cell phone, chap stick, and magnetic bullet holes not currently in use since the snipers held our region in terror). Serendipity fell upon me as one slipped out of my hand into the shifter boot. Yes...simply push the leather downward and fill it up! Even with aggressive downshifts and hard cornering, the Jelly Bellys stayed put. Am I the bomb or what?

Thanks for the "testing"... I've been toying with using that area for change, I was just worried about stuff flying out during playtime.

Don't let those things melt... could be messy!

There are people who actually enjoy eating the buttered popcorn flavored Jelly Bellys?

Especially if your lumbar support goes.

"Well sir, I can see the problem..."

Why don't they indluce jbc in the specs.

Tech Note: jbc=jelly belly capacity.

MMmmmmmmm Jelly Belly's.

Trust not the heart of a man for whom old clothes, and the Mini, are not venerable!
