Americans Would Trade Sex, Shoes, Caffeine For Cell Phone

August 8, 2011 by ModernMom Staff Leave a Comment

Are you one of those people who never puts down their phone? If so, you’re not alone. A new study from TeleNav highlighted America’s addiction to cell-phones, by asking participants what they would give up for the use of their mobile device. Choices: sex, alcohol, chocolate, caffeine, exercise, sex, computer, toothbrush. 

Here are the results:

 1/5th of all participants would rather give up their shoes for a week than lose their cell phone

1/3rd would be willing to give up sex for a week

54% would give up exercise for a week

55% would give up caffeine for a week

63% would give up chocolate for a week

70% would give up alcohol for a week

What would YOU trade for your cell phone? Give us your thoughts in the comments below!
