"In some countries, smiling might not be a sign of warmth or even respect. It’s evidence that you’re a fool—a tricky fool.

 

...in countries like Germany, Switzerland, China, and Malaysia, smiling faces were rated as significantly more intelligent than non-smiling people. But in Japan, India, Iran, South Korea, and—you guessed it—Russia, the smiling faces were considered significantly less intelligent. Even after controlling for other factors, like the economy, there was a strong correlation between how unpredictable a society was and the likelihood they would consider smiling unintelligent.

 

In countries such as India, Argentina, and the Maldives, meanwhile, smiling was associated with dishonesty..."

Save a fortune...

 

Plus this will taste better! Is flavoured coffee actually coffee? There’s a movie on RBTV called Barista where the one barista used to work at Starbucks and was actually quite amazed by the theory that an espresso made properly is actually palatable without flavourants
