To Funny...I don't know about driving down the freeway, though...
Maybe a side street!

I recommend a touch of super glue instead of tape. Just for safety reasons. Wouldn't want the tape coming loose and the cup hitting another car.

i would go online and buy hella strong magnets, and either epoxy them or use super glue or something.

No need for glue or tape. ive got a magnet thats a 1" square. just drop it in the cup and trust me it will hold.

We did this with a baby carrier. :)

Just don't drive down the freeway at 80mph and it won't come off or be dangerous. GAWD!

Thanks for the idea:

I threw a couple of heavy duty magnets into my (leather) briefcase and left it on the trunk of my car. I was a-grinning and a-waving like a fool at everybody who honked to help me out until I noticed there was nothing in my rear view mirror!

So, why was anybody still honkin' and pointin' at me? Maybe because my briefcase had slid off the trunk of my '53 Caddy, opened up on the bumper and disgorged its contents on the freeway (Oh, I'm sooo funny...).

Next time, I'll follow your instructions more to the letter.

Oh, sorry to hear that!!

Hope you got all your contents back!
It was/is kinda funny, though....

Thanks for the comments!

Just sayin'. I don't know how the judges will look at basically the same prank being published and the fact that yours was done second. Thought you might like to know in case you wanted to enter another to possibly improve your chance at a prize.

Wow, thanks for the heads up!
I didn't even realize there was another instructable like this!

I will be entering a couple more, though...
I still have a few days.

[scraptopower]

There's nothing wrong with entering the same as someone else. It's all about the presentation. Very few things are original :)

[lady4bug]

i had already seen this before... it was starbuck's publicity

[siafulinux]

Fantastic. I'm laughing just thinking about the reactions I can get from this one. Would probably use a couple of larger magnets though... excellent prank!
