Study Design
Trash along the same 1.25 mile stretch of road is collected and drink containers tallied. Results are shown in the charts below.
April 2019 Results:
April 2019: The runaway winner, at 28% of the total count, was Sparks Blackberry, a flavored malt beverage with a very high alcohol content (8.0%). Honestly, I'd not heard of this stuff until now. Sparks Blackberry is a very specific beverage choice. I suspect one could ID the person doing the littering by simply walking into local convenience stores and asking the clerks, "Who buys a Sparks Blackberry here every day?"
There cannot be 3 people in the entire County that do so.
May 2020 Results:
May 2020: I've reduced the number of categories.
New winner: Cheap domestic beers (33%) edging out Sparks Black Cherry (23%).
Stay classy, my friends.
