The water company stated its ‘Scroll Free for Year contest’ will award $100,000 USD to an individual who can give up their smartphone for 365 total days and $10,000 USD if they make it only to six months.

VitaminWater explained a lie detector test will be given at the finalization of the year to verify the person has not touched or used any smartphones for a whole year.

The beverage establishment said the selected contestant will be furnished with a 1996-era cellular phone to use for the year. 

Persons interested in participating in the contest are being called on to make a Twitter or Instagram post using the hashtags “#nophoneforayear” and “#contest” before January 8.

One “lucky” contestant will be drawn from the entries and will be given the opportunity to take home the $100,000 prize.

It’s said: 1 out of 2 people CAN NOT live without their smartphone! Thereby, it’s a strong chance that VitaminWater may just keep that $100k in their pocket after all.
