How To Get Your Friends Off Their Cell During Dinner

You know the scenario. You are out to dinner with friends or family and that one "connected" pal can not get off their cell. They are checking emails over appetizers. Uploading pics to Facebook. Foursquaring their location. Tweeting menu recommendations. Taking their turn on Words With Friends. And the texting will not end.

Now there is a simple solution to bring live conversation and a cell phone free experience back to dinner: The Phone Stack!

Here is how the Phone Stack works. After ordering, everyone stacks their phone screen down in the center of the table. No one is allowed to pick up the phones until the check arrives, even if one phone rings or vibrates during the meal. Or in some case - rings, rings and rings some more.

If one of the "contestants" can not refrain themselves and picks up their cell, they also pick up the check for dinner.

If you don't get a peace, at least you will get a free meal.
