1. A modular cup holder tray assembly comprising:
a first tray and a second tray removably coupled to each other, each of the first and second trays including:
a base defining a top surface and a plurality of cupholders extending therethrough;
sidewalls substantially perpendicular to the base, the sidewalls including a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall, the first sidewall defining a first outer planar surface and a first inner planar surface, at least two tray-coupling apertures extending through the first sidewall from the first outer planar surface to the first inner planar surface, the second sidewall defining a second outer planar surface and including at least two tray-coupling protrusions extending from the second sidewall; and
a first handle removably coupled to the outer planar surface of the sidewalls of the first tray and a second handle removably coupled to the outer planar surface of the sidewalls of the second tray,
wherein, when the first tray is removably coupled to the second tray, the at least two tray-coupling protrusions of the second tray are received through the at least two tray-coupling apertures of the first tray and the second outer planar surface of the second tray abuts the first outer planar surface of the first tray,
wherein the first handle and the second handle are operable to transport the first tray and the second tray when the first handle is coupled to the first tray, the second handle is coupled to the second tray, and the first tray is coupled to the second tray.
