Do More Men Or Women Pass The Honor System Test?

DETROIT (WWJ) - How honest are you? WWJ's Rob Sanford reports a new survey came up some interesting results.

It's not a scientifically accurate poll but according to a report by Honest Tea, the producer of nation's top selling organic bottled tea, Americans seem to be fairly honest.

The company set up free standing booths with a bunch of bottles and a cash box and a sign that said "honor system, a dollar a bottle" in all 50 states.

Seth Goldman, President and CEO of the company, explains how honest Americans are.

"So for 92 percent of Americans chose to put money in the box," said Goldman.

He says when you consider men verses women: "With respect to men and women - women were 95 percent honest, and men were 91 percent honest."
