Abstract
A tray body preferably fabricated of a molded plastic material defines a generally rectangular recess having at least one support member extending downwardly therefrom. The tray body further defines a center cup receptacle having a receptacle wall extending downwardly beyond the tray body. A pair of side cup receptacles are formed on opposed sides of the center cup receptacle. In one embodiment, additional support members extend downwardly from the side cup receptacles. In an alternate embodiment, a pair of spaced apart support members are formed in the recess in place of the cup receptacle supports.
