One in 10 Brits would lick a stranger’s armpit for £10,000
One in 10 Brits would lick a stranger’s armpit for £10,000 – and a quarter would shave their eyebrows off to bag the cash.
A poll of 2,000 adults found going without their phone for a month (38 per cent), swimming in a bath of baked beans (37 per cent), and spending 24 hours locked in a lift with their ex (26 per cent) were also among the funny things they’d do for cash.
While 41 per cent would even go as far as going a year without a cup of tea to pocket the money.
And 18 per cent would happily belt out a rendition of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ in a crowded tube carriage.
The research was commissioned by Tango [https://www.instagram.com/drinktango/] to mark the launch of its on-pack competition which runs until 12th September giving fans the chance to win up to £10,000 – without having to take on any such challenge.
Love Island All Stars winner Casey O’Gorman, who teamed up with the drink, went incognito giving Londoners the chance to scan for a chance to win some cash – he said: “Excuse the humble brag, but I have some experience with winning so am lucky to know how great it feels.
“There’s not much I wouldn’t do to recreate that feeling, though I do draw the line at a baked bean bath.”
The research found four in 10 would be willing to wear Crocs everywhere they went for a whole month, for a chance to bag £10k.
While 20 per cent would happily let a tarantula clamber all over their face.
Respondents are slightly more likely to opt to do something embarrassing (24 per cent) over something scary (23 per cent).
In the event of a £10k windfall, 44 per cent would save it, while 30 per cent would treat friends or family, according to the figures.
And 81 per cent would still accept a £10k prize – even if it was delivered to them in the form of a million pennies.
Asia Banger, brand manager at Tango, which is hosting three Cash Dash events in June and July in UK cities, added: “Turns out Brits have no chill when it comes to chasing cash, but why not embrace the silliness every now and then.
“This is all a great reminder that the British sense of humour is alive and well – especially when it comes with the chance to win something.
“Though luckily, in this case, all people need to do is buy a pack and scan to enter, so those eyebrows are safe!”
