For those who have been annoyed with their friends' endless fidgeting with their smartphones and not paying attention to conversations, a new and innovative beer glass aims to solve just that.
The Offline Glass, designed by a Brazilian ad agency, consists of an iPhone-sized notch cut into the base and the glass can't stand up straight without a smartphone wedged underneath, into the notch.
The glass is a fun and innovative way of telling smartphone addicts to 'stop' trolling the screen every few minutes and helps inhibit drunk texting, Cnet reports.
Since the phone is wedged snugly beneath the glass, no nonsense text or weird Facebook updates or Tweets would make their way to the social media and lead to next morning embarrassments.
The glass is only available at the Bar Salve Jorge in Sao Paolo and is not up for general sale, the report added.
