The beverage company Honest Tea released a survey ranking cities across the US based on their honesty with Providence coming in last place.

According to the survey, Honest Tea setup unmanned racks full of bottled ice tea accompanied by a cash box in 62 cities across the US. The survey said the honesty rating was based off an honor system; people could take a bottle of Honest Tea if they placed one dollar in the cash box.

Providence came in 62 with an honesty percentage of 80%; topping the list was Honolulu with a 100% rating.

Washington DC was rated the most improved city, having risen from 62, to 22 this year.
