of Gujarat, India. It was sealed with a marble in a factory in Salabatpura
by Hajoori and Sons.

its sales were low. Its owners doubled its price -- without changing the
whisky -- and saw unit sales double. Consumers saw the increased

U.S. universities adopted the same kind of policy.

typically saw a significant increase in enrollment. At the time, parents
