Awesome Idea: The "Phone Stack"

Here's a great way to have a fabulous dinner with friends ... WITHOUT the distraction of telephone calls, texts, tweets, emails, etc. (via Kempt)...

It works like this: as you arrive, each person places their phone face down in the center of the table. As the meal goes on, you’ll hear various texts and emails arriving… and you’ll do absolutely nothing. You’ll face temptation—maybe even a few involuntary reaches toward the middle of the table—but you’ll be bound by the single, all-important rule of the phone stack. 

Whoever picks up their phone is footing the bill.

Genius!

Why Didn't I Think Of That?

All you need is a McDonald's cup, some ice, and your favorite canned beverage. Side Note: it's a damn shame they no longer make Zima.

Also - someone needs to show this to Maddie, so she doesn't make the same mistake twice.

Kickass Japanese Thing of the Day: Naturally, the Japanese are light-years ahead of everyone else in the beverage can arena.
