NEW YORK, Oct 27, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- FO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- If you were to play hooky from work, how would you do it? Do you commit random acts of mischief? And what would be the ultimate prank? A new survey* of legal purchase age adults by Hornitos(TM) Tequila produced results that make one thing clear - whether it's a playful Halloween prank, a naughty Valentine's Day costume or simply a random act of humor to mix up the average work week, it's all about spicing up the ordinary. The survey provoked confessions of mischief across the country. From calling in sick to get out of work (70 percent) to kissing strangers (nearly 40 percent) to telling white lies (more than one third), which top the list of the naughtiest acts - it seems like everyone gets a little mischievous at times.

The poll, which surveyed men and women in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Dallas, exposed consumers' desire to act up now and then - and reveals a number of scandalous results, including:

    --  More than half of people polled find whipped cream to be the most
        mischievous food
    --  One-third would flirt with a friend's significant other
    --  Forty percent find shoulders to be the most risque spot on the body for
        a tattoo - more so than the ankle, back and chest
    --  Nearly 50 percent of men and women stated that people knew they were up
        to mischief when they arrived wearing suspiciously similar clothes as
        the night before

    --  And finally, surprising strangers with water balloons (40 percent) and
        sending mystery pizzas to unsuspecting friends (41 percent) are among
        the most popular pranks

This survey is part of Hornitos' Mischieve(TM) campaign, which embodies a philosophy prescribing playfulness in the form of pranks, trickery and other good-natured misbehavior. Hornitos(TM) Tequila acts as the perfect partner for a night of mischief. What better way to add a little playfulness to the night than with a splash - or more - of Hornitos?

"Mischieve is about shared experiences that push the mischief quotient, and that's what we've looked to identify in this survey," says Antonio Portillo, senior brand manager of Hornitos(TM) Sauza(R) Tequila. "Hornitos is enjoyed by legal age drinkers who engage in these activities that are the most mischievous. Revelers paint the town green with a bit of misbehavior."
