  11. Honest Tea company tests Chicagoans' honesty

    &nbsp;<span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';">The hidden cameras were perched in Grant Park near Buckingham Fountain. What they captured, at least from what we could tell during a few minutes of watching, were tentative creatures circling an odd structure constructed for a few hours. It was not as&nbsp;rib-tickling as watching the <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/sfshiba">Shiba Inu Puppy Cam</a>. Nor&nbsp;as raucous (read: salty)&nbsp;as the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg">Honey Badger</a> bit on YouTube. Nope. The creatures in this case were human&nbsp;and the hidden camera was set up by <a href="http://www.honesttea.com/">Honest Tea</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;from&nbsp; 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Tuesday. </span>
