A Chick-fil-A in Towson Place, Maryland, is giving families free Icedream Cones for completing its new dine-in Cell Phone Coop Challenge together.

A Chick-fil-A restaurant is offering families free ice cream if they put away their phones for their entire meal. Complex, an account on X covering culture, posted a photo Sunday showing a sign advertising that the Chick-fil-A Towson Place location has an incentive for families to be phone-free during meals.

"Introducing our Chick-fil-A® Cell Phone Coop Challenge," the sign read.

"After you finished let a Team Member know and everyone at the table will receive a Icedream® Cone as a reward." "Grab a coop and take the challenge," it read. The Chick-fil-A restaurant in Towson Place, Maryland, also advertised the challenge in a recent Facebook post, writing, "Take the Dine-in Cell Phone Coop Challenge at Chick-fil-A Towson Place. Ask a Team Member for a coop, place all phones in the coop, and enjoy your meal together without distractions. When your table finishes, let a Team Member know and everyone will receive an Icedream Cone as a reward. Are you up for the challenge?" LIMITING ACCESS TO CELLPHONES COULD HELP STUDENTS' GRADES, SOCIAL SKILLS AND EARLY DEVELOPMENT, EXPERTS SAY A 2023 study found that 68% of households have a person using their phone during a meal with others.
