Forgo dessert calories for charity

Nudge reader Céline Christensen says she recently noticed a restaurant in Amsterdam that offered diners the option to skip dessert and donate € 1 to a good cause. “On the total amount of dinner € 1 is fair, and you eliminate some calories by skipping dessert!” she writes.

    A random comment:
    One time at a clothing store in Australia, I was about to swipe my debit card to pay for a dress. Then the cashier phrased me a question so interestingly: she asked “Would you like to help save the environment for $1?” as she held up a recyclable bag that had the store's logo on it, as a substitute for the plastic bag I was expecting her to put my purchase in. Marketers are getting very clever indeed.
