 said box further comprises a rear wall and a cover hingedly attached thereto, and    said double-panel wall structure opposes said rear wall and is a front wall structure of said box and said wall is a side wall of said box and said connected corner section is a front connected-corner section of said box, whereby said cup-holder strap is disposed in a front connected-corner section of the box.    
   
   
       5 . A box having a uniquely-disposed cup-holder strap having an obliquely-disposed corner-making fold line, said box comprising: 
 a bottom panel,    a wall structure comprising a wall, a corner panel attached to an end of said wall, and a cup-holder strap disposed in cup-holding position and attached at one end to said wall and at another end to said corner panel and having opposing top and bottom cup-holder edges and a corner-making fold line extending between said top and bottom cup-holder edges, wherein said corner-making fold line is disposed at an oblique angle to at least a portion of at least one of said top and bottom cup-holder edges.    
   
   
       6 . The box of  claim 5  wherein: 
 at least one of said wall and said corner panel is disposed at an oblique angle to said bottom panel.    
   
   
       7 . A box having a bottom panel, a wall panel disposed at an oblique angle to said bottom panel, and a cup-holder strap attached at one end to said wall panel and disposed in cup-holding position and having a top edge, wherein at least a portion of said top edge is disposed substantially parallel to said bottom panel.  
   
   
       8 . A blank for a box having a uniquely-disposed cup-holder strap disposed adjacent a double-panel wall structure, said blank being of foldable material cut and scored to define: 
 a bottom panel comprising adjacent first and second edges, and    a plurality of wall structures including first and second wall structures;    said first wall structure being a double-panel wall structure comprising an outer panel hingedly attached to said first edge at a first bottom edge fold line and an inner panel hingedly attached to a top edge of said outer panel and said inner and outer panels each have an end edge disposed adjacent said second wall structure;    said second wall structure comprising a wall hingedly attached to said second edge at a second bottom edge fold line and having a corner end disposed adjacent said first wall structure and further comprising a corner flap hingedly attached to said corner end at a corner flap fold line;    wherein said second wall structure further comprises a cup-holder strap partially disposed in said wall and partially disposed in said corner flap, whereby said cup-holder strap is disposed at the corner end of said wall and, thereby, adjacent said first wall structure, and    wherein at least a portion of the end edge of said inner panel of said first wall structure is substantially offset in relation to the end edge of said outer panel, thereby constituting an offset end edge of said inner panel;    whereby after said blank has been erected into a box and said inner panel is disposed substantially parallel to said outer panel and at least a portion of said corner flap is enclosed between said inner and outer panels and said cup-holder strap is disposed in cup-holding position the offset end edge of said inner panel is disposed on an interior side of said cup-holder strap, thereby enabling said cup-holder strap to be disposed at a corner section of the box formed by a juncture of the double-panel first wall structure with the second wall structure.    
   
   
       9 . The blank of  claim 8  wherein: 
 said corner flap fold line is disposed at an oblique angle to said second bottom edge fold line.    
   
   
       10 . The blank of  claim 8  wherein: 
 said cup-holder strap has opposing top and bottom cup-holder edges and a cup-holder end fold line extending between opposing ends of said top and bottom cup-holder edges, wherein said cup-holder end fold line is disposed at an oblique angle to at least one of said top and bottom cup-holder edges.    
   
   
       11 . The blank of  claim 8  wherein: 
 said cup-holder strap has opposing top and bottom cup-holder edges, and    said corner flap fold line extends through said top and bottom cup-holder edges, and    at least one of the cup-holder edges comprises opposing first and second portions respectively disposed on opposing sides of said corner flap fold line and wherein said first and second portions are non-aligned.    
   
   
       12 . The blank of  claim 8  wherein: 
 said cup-holder strap has opposing top and bottom cup-holder edges, and    said corner flap fold line extends through said top and bottom cup-holder edges, and    at least one of the cup-holder edges comprises opposing first and second portions respectively disposed on opposing sides of said corner flap fold line and wherein said first and second portions are disposed at an oblique angle.    
   
   
       13 . A blank for a box having a uniquely-disposed cup-holder strap having an obliquely-disposed cup-holder end fold line, said blank being of foldable material cut and scored to define: 
 a bottom panel,    a wall structure comprising a wall hingedly attached to said bottom panel at a bottom edge fold line, a corner flap hingedly attached to an end of said wall at a corner flap fold line, and a cup-holder strap partially disposed in said wall and partially disposed in said corner flap and having opposing top and bottom cup-holder edges and a cup-holder end fold line extending between opposing end points of said top and bottom cup-holder edges, wherein said cup-holder end fold line is obliquely disposed in relation to said bottom edge fold line.    
   
   
       14 . The blank of  claim 13  wherein: 
 said cup-holder end fold line is disposed at an oblique angle to at least one of said top and bottom cup-holder edges.    
   
   
       15 . The blank of  claim 13  wherein: 
 said corner flap fold line is disposed at an oblique angle to said bottom edge fold line.    
   
   
       16 . A blank for a box having a uniquely-disposed cup-holder strap having non-aligned portions of cup-holder edges, said blank being of foldable material cut and scored to define: 
 a bottom panel,    a wall structure comprising a wall hingedly attached to said bottom panel at a bottom edge fold line, a corner flap hingedly attached to an end of said wall at a corner flap fold line, and a cup-holder strap partially disposed in said wall and partially disposed in said corner flap and having opposing top and bottom cup-holder edges, said corner flap fold line extending through said top and bottom cup-holder edges;    wherein at least one of the cup-holder edges comprises opposing first and second portions respectively disposed on opposing sides of said corner flap fold line and wherein said first and second portions are non-aligned.

 said corner flap fold line is disposed at an oblique angle to said bottom edge fold line.    
   
   
       18 . The blank of  claim 16  wherein: 
 said cup-holder strap has a cup-holder end fold line extending between opposing ends of said top and bottom cup-holder edges, wherein said cup-holder end fold line is disposed at an oblique angle to at least one of said top and bottom cup-holder edges.    
   
   
       19 . The blank of  claim 16  wherein: 
 said cup-holder strap has a cup-holder end fold line extending between opposing ends of said top and bottom cup-holder edges, wherein said cup-holder end fold line is obliquely disposed in relation to said bottom edge fold line.
