(where they're so underhand they even stole the researcher's bike)
In an informal test, 61 unmanned kiosks were set up across the U.S., with at least one in every state, offering tea for $1, with a dropbox nearby
Only eight in 10 people in D.C. paid for their tea while people in Hawaii and Alabama paid without exception
The results also determined that women were slightly more honest than men with 95 per cent of ladies paying compared to 91 per cent of men
People in groups tended to be more honest than people on their own.

George Washington believed honesty was the most enviable quality in a human being, but the residents of the city that bears his name clearly don't agree.
People in Washington D.C. are by far the most dishonest in America, according to a new study, while their cousins in Hawaii and Alabama are basically saints.
Beverage company Honest Tea went to every U.S. state earlier this month and set up 61 unmanned kiosks offering tea for $1. Tea drinkers were instructed to place their buck in a box nearby.

I'm ashamed of Kentucky. I wonder where the kiosk was.

Well, to be fair, they needed a study to tell them about the other places. I doubt they were surprised by the D.C. result.

In fact, I could see D.C. being deliberately included in the study specifically for purposes of "calibration" ... ;)

Exactly - you need a standard measure of dishonesty in order to know how you compare.
