The most dishonest state in the country? Well, it is not a state it's ...

Washington, DC – named the least honest city or state in the USA. Isn't that  shame?

According to Drew at Townsquare Media, the dubious discovery came after Honest Tea pulled a stunt to figure out just how, well, honest people all over the country are. The company set up an unmanned booth holding bottles of its drinks, along with a sign asking people to use the honor system by leaving a dollar for every bottle they took.

In Washington, 80% paid, making it the worst of all locations. The national average was 92%. Alabama and Hawaii proved that honesty is indeed the best policy – 100% of the public paid for their drinks. Now let's see how Kentucky did ... Tied with Texas for third!  He are the results.
