More than 100 million participate in psychological experiment




In what is being described as one of the most successful annual experiments ever - the public were subject to an experiment where they were tempted to buy objects which they would not need but were priced lower than expected turned out to be the most successful shopping experiment by retailers ever. 

Started way back in the 1950s as a test for Catholics who regularly said "Do not bring us to the test" to  check if they actually fell for the temptation of low prices has now spread across communities and turned out into an Annual National Holiday falling on the Friday that follows the 4th Thursday of November.  

Dr. Evil who is in-charge of this experiment for the last 30 years said "Humans whatever they maybe can never resist temptation, and I am proving this for 30 years in a row now" and had an evil laughter as he said this. 

Mr. Tom the manager at one of the stores said "Dr. Evil asked us to up the prices by 30% and then give a 50% off across the board for this weekend so technically we're just giving a 35% discount on our products but you know what, it's worked, a few weeks back when we'd offered a 40% discount on all out products we didn't have even half the sales we've had so far. So Dr. Evil is always right". 

One shopper Dianne said "This is so cool, I got this new thing that is an iPad but is made by Google, for like $200, I mean how cool is that? I have an iPad but that's a little bigger than this one but this   so cute and easy to hold. I mean since when did Google start making iPads? Isn't it made by Apple?" asked the confused shopper. 

We wish her luck.
