Nail Polish and Champagne
By Edith Zimmerman December 14, 2011
Of all the indicators we looked at, one of the most consistently accurate was Champagne sales. The amount of French Champagne that Americans consume has predicted — with nearly 90 percent accuracy — the average American income one year later. Apparently, when we pop a Champagne cork, we know that good times are ahead (see chart).
Interesting. And apparently nail polish does a similar thing, but in reverse — sales go up when the economy goes down.
