In case you missed the news tonight.....Company that sells honest tea, put a money box next to tea..... The Most honest city, Atlanta with 100% payback, the most dishonest, Washington DC, with money removed along with the tea..

No surprise there with the Washington DC result.

I'm shocked.

Overall, the experiment was a success. Honest Tea CEO Seth Goldman said that 94 percent of Americans were honest about paying for their tea. Atlanta, who was the most honest, was at 100 percent.

Here are the top five most honest cities:

Atlanta, Georgia (100 percent)
Indianapolis, Indiana (99 percent)
San Diego, California (97 percent)
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (97 percent)
Houston, Texas (97 percent)

9th Baltimore (96 percent)

17th D.C. and Bethesda combined (94 percent)

And the five least honest:

Minneapolis, Minnesota (90 percent)
Miami, Florida (88 percent)
Tampa, Florida (85 percent)
Boston, Massachusetts (85 percent)
Providence, Rhode Island (83 percent)

Your post does not really have the same results as shown in the more complete Post 4, does it? That one shows Providence, RI, as the least honest.

So much for a divine providence.

Wonder how the results match up to that cities actual crime rate.

Th study was nothing more than a publicity stunt to sell their product. Its like those "the best city in America"..... Placement (location) of the product would also have an affect on the outcome.

Why would a company that want to sell their product create bad/negative publicity for any city? Based on this publicity stunt I won't buy their product
