Little Victories: Philly actually pretty honest when it comes to Honest Tea

If you were in Old City yesterday, you might've come across the social experiment set up by Honest Tea at Fifth and Market — the drink brand put out a bunch of unguarded teas with a cash box, and requested one dollar from passers-by if they wanted to walk with a bottle. Knowing Philly, we were a bit cynical about how this would turn out, but the results are pretty surprising — in addition to not getting booted by the PPA, Philly's Honest Tea station reported an impressive 96 percent honesty rate. Tell me you saw that one coming! Expecting a press release from Nutter about this any minute now.

Check out the the ratings for the 11 other cities honesty-tested after the jump. Spoiler: If you're like us, you'll be pleased to learn that the cheapo d-bags in New York and Los Angeles are in last and second-to-last place.

Chicago 99%

Boston 97%

Seattle 97%

Dallas 97%

Atlanta 96%

Philadelphia 96%

Cincinnati 95%

San Francisco 93%

Miami 92%

Washington, D.C. 91%

Los Angeles 88%

New York 86%
