And obviously I should have put heaps of smilies in my posts so everybody understands I am joking. This was a market survey, not a scientific study, right

Ok, so we have
Denmark
Netherlands
Belgium
France
Italy
Spain
Greece
possibly Hungary

and variables were

hugging
singing
dancing
laughing
crying

Laundry detergents sounds even more fat fetched than DN:s and DW:s suggestions...unless they have added some herbal mood alternation substances as a perfume to this seemingly horrible Snuggle stuff:

PS Doesn't the first image make you all think of Xan



EDIT: dammit I am only allowed to use 10 smiles
