Were people honest and did they pay the extra one cent?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) February 25th, 2010

When i was younger, Coca Cola from a machine, cost a nickel. you heard correct, five cents. shortly after, Coca Cola raised the price of a bottle of Coke from a machine from 5 cents to 6 cents. instead of replacing the mechanical mechanism to accept the extra penny, Coca Cola just installed an “honor box” next to the nickel slot on the machine. how many people do you believe actually gave that extra penny and deposited it in the “honor box”? hint: this only lasted one year, then a bottle of Coke went to ten cents.
