@Nigra: correct

@Dalton63841: oh i agree its dumb, but people think that gift cards show thought and care, cash shows laziness

@cha0tic: ask for gift cards. people have some aversion to giving straight money

at least they got rid of that hideous hatchback. Still not as pretty as the STI from a few years back (as with nearly all car models these days :'( ).

How many of the subjects actually knew what the placebo effect is? If a doctor comes up and says that a pill will work because of some scientific sounding effect, most people will believe it 100%
