The founders spent a weekend selling smoothies at a festival and had two bins marked 'yes' and 'no', plus a sign with the question "do you think we should give up our jobs to make these smoothies?" People voted by chucking their empty bottle into the relevant bin. And the rest is history. They're now regarded as a very cool brand over here, and the company's been a massive success.

Tips went into a large jar, filled with water, with a lemon almost filling the whole in the jar. Just enough room around the edges for coins to slide through. The challenge is to balance a coin on the lemon for 10 seconds, the prize being you win your meal for free if you succeed. Works best of course in countries like Australia where $1 and $2 are coins... I saw an interesting technique that appeals to a much more base instinct the other day.
