I am not sure. I definitely think that restaurants/bars would like the idea; but I am not sure about consumers (hence the thread). I am pretty sure spring breakers etc, would like it, but I may be too far removed from that demographic (I am 31).

Did you have a tough time "getting" it on the initial look? My conversations with people have been:

me: check this out

person: its funny, but why would I want my number on a teeshirt?

me: well, its not really yours, it's an anonymous phone number you can forward to your cell, email, or set an auto-responder

person: OOOOHHH, thats pretty cool!

me: would you pay for it?

person: hrm..I am not sure, but I could see it becoming "a thing"

me: perplexed on whether to invest time and money into this.
