Good Manners Trump Good Looks

Posted: February 5, 2010
Take a Bite Out of Bad Manners with the 30-Day Civility Challenge. Nearly nine out of 10 Canadians (89%) report that they would be more attracted to an average looking person with great manners, versus a good looking person with poor manners, proving you do not have to look like Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie to get a date, according to a recent Angus Reid Public Opinion Poll* commissioned by the new Red Prince apple. To underscore the importance of manners, the Red Prince, of Red Prince apples, today launches a civility movement in Toronto’s business district.

The 30-day civility challenge To inspire Canadians to perform good deeds everyday for one month, and ideally beyond, the Red Prince today launches the 30-day civility challenge. The Red Prince will tweet a challenge every day for 30 days such as “offer your seat to someone in the subway,” and “hold the door open for someone today” from his Twitter account @RedPrinceApple. To sign up for or download a copy of the 30 day civility challenge, visit www.redprinceapple.ca.

About the new Red Prince apple

The Red Prince is a premium apple, locally grown in Thornbury/Clarksburg, available during the winter months. Recognized for its antioxidant-rich red skin, the Red Prince has inherited the sweetness and juiciness of the Golden Delicious and the crispness and tanginess of the Jonathan.

“The new Red Prince apple is a good source of vitamin C, which is essential for healthy skin and gums and plays a role in immune system functioning,” says Cara Rosenbloom, a Toronto-based registered dietitian. “It is also a good source of fibre, which promotes regularity and may contribute to weight maintenance.”

The Red Prince is ideal for fresh eating, in salads or in baking and pairs particularly well with sharp cheddars and blue cheeses. For a delectable nut-free Royal Energy bar recipe, please visit .
