Americans greatest fear: The Truth

I had to laugh today when my daughter & I were flipping through a catalogue of Halloween costumes. On a page full of Halloween props, I caught these labels for sale:



Note the very first label, which I like to think is the most scary thing available: not the red blood, spider venom, embalming juice, or the virus that makes humans become zombies, no - those aren't scary enough to lead with. The most frightening juice there is the truth serum. [scream!]

Yes, the scariest thing we can imagine is our friends, family, and peers hearing us tell the truth. Are our secrets really that bad, America?
