This Genius $11 Bunnings Cup Holder Hack Just Got an Amazing Response
- Replies 11
We all know how difficult it can be trying to fit that one cup that just doesn’t fit in your car’s cup holder.
But one woman’s viral cupholder hack to secure those specific bottles in her car has left hundreds of social media users singing praises.
It all started when a woman from Victoria, Maddy Ryan, had difficulty fitting her 1-litre Frank Green canister into her car cup holder. With a stroke of genius, she turned to her local Bunnings where she bought a 100 x 65mm PVC DWV Taper Level Invert worth $11.
Maddy posted the clip on TikTok at the end of last year, and since then, it’s been viewed over 3.5 million times.
Maddy’s ‘genius’ hack (captioned ‘work harder not smarter’) makes her car’s cup holder area wider, so her pink bottle can fit perfectly.
It also appears that Bunnings had caught on to the hype surrounding the 100 x 65mm PVC DWV Taper Level Inverts, with a new TikTok video showing a box labelled ‘cup holders’ in one Bunnings store.
Many viewers were quick to joke that the display was probably the result of staff being fed up with customers asking: ‘which ones fit the Frank Green bottles’.
‘Well played, Bunnings,’ one person said, and many viewers encouraged others to do the same if they have cup holder struggles.
‘I just watched a Bunnings ad for this,’ another quipped.
Someone else praised Maddy for being innovative, while another jokingly suggested that she should’ve trademarked the hack.
A fourth person laughed about the ‘poor plumbers’ who are going to be mad when there’s a shortage of tapered PVC pipes at their local store.
You can watch Maddy’s video below:
‘I may have literally just bought one because my cup holders are too shallow and any drink in them falls out at every turn,’ shared another.
Some people praised Bunnings for their clever marketing scheme.
‘This is the best thing I’ve seen,’ one admitted.

The popularity of Maddy Ryan’s cup holder hack demonstrated how important the role of social media has become in product sales. The TikTok post went viral, attracting 3.5 million views largely due to its innovative nature. Essentially, if a product or message is promoted to the right people through a popular platform like TikTok, it can encourage the purchase of a product.
This demonstrates how much of an impact social media can have on consumer buying decisions. This type of marketing shows that the customer has more power over the brands, and has a voice that resonates with the masses.
It also lessens the gap between brand-customer interaction, since people these days can just reach out to a specific brand through their social media channels and receive assistance in the same way.
