‘Offline’ beer glass stops antisocial phone use in bars
BY ANITA LI, Mashable
A man walks into a bar; he stares at his phone all night.
It’s the punchline of modern society — people visit a public establishment to grab a drink with their friends, only to ignore them for an electronic device.
One bar aims to discourage such antisocial behavior by introducing a beer mug that can only stand upright when placed on a cellphone. Salve Jorge Bar in São Paulo, Brazil, unveiled the Offline Glass to help drinkers focus on their friends, as opposed to their screens, according to The Telegraph.
Typically, patrons would put down their mugs to pick up their phones, but doing so with the Offline Glass would result in spillage. Check out the video, above, for more.
