A poll of 2,000 adults found 42% own an item which they believe brings them good fortune. Do you have one?
The study was done by Buzz bingo in England.
The research also found 49% of those polled are superstitious, and three-quarters actively do and don’t do certain things for fear of being burdened with bad luck.
More than a third have avoided walking under ladders, a quarter have opted not to open umbrellas indoors, and 20% have avoided putting their shoes on tables.
According to 15%, not following these superstitions and similar can result in losing items.

Fancy beers come with a lot of rules. You have to use the right glass, pour it a certain way, and serve it at the optimum drinking temperature. There are no such rules governing cheap beers. Those beers are made to be cracked open and chugged straight from the can.
There’s no “flavor profile” to mess up because there’s barely any flavor. But you can improve the taste of cheap beer with a pickle. A guy writing on Lifehacker says putting a pickle in the glass gives the beer flavor, and the salt tastes particularly welcome on a hot, sweaty day. Also, you get to eat the beer-soaked pickle when you finish your beverage. The kind of pickle you use is up to you, but our Lifehacker writer recommends a spear — something quite sour.
Also, make sure your beer is cold. (after all..this isn't England.)
