ISN’T

it amazing the lengths to which companies will go to maximise profits? A team of researchers found supermarket trolleys with handles at the side – like a wheelbarrow – make us spend 25 per cent more than the traditional ones. Something to do with using our biceps, which are ‘lifting’ muscles, instead of our triceps, which are for pushing. All very well, but I bet they can’t solve the mystery of why I ALWAYS get the trolley with the wonky wheel.
