    10. American Airlines managed to save about $40,000 by removing a single olive from the salads served to business class passengers.

    11. Pleasant smells in stores are mostly artificial, created by air fresheners designed to encourage shoppers to buy. This method is especially effective on hungry visitors.

    12. Fast food restaurants often play fast music because visitors eat their food faster when listening to such music, which means they free up seats for new customers more quickly.

    13. In 1998, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin wanted to sell Google to Yahoo for $1 billion, but Yahoo declined the offer. Seven years later, in 2005, Google was worth $80 billion, with an annual profit of $1.5 billion.

    14. In the 20th century, Russian entrepreneur Nikolai Shustov decided to promote his new cognac in Moscow taverns. To do this, he hired young people to go to taverns and demand “Shustovsky cognac,” which, of course, they did not receive. These fake customers caused a scandal and a brawl, expressing their dissatisfaction. As a result of this campaign, Moscow tavern owners learned about the new cognac and began to buy it from the creative entrepreneur.

    15. The annual turnover of the advertising services market is half a trillion dollars. For comparison, the annual turnover of tobacco worldwide is about $400 billion, which is $100 billion less.
