Ten Commandments Study

(9/2007 Kelton Research and 10 Commandments Commission)
35% of Americans can recall all six Brady kids from the Brady Bunch.
25% could name all seven ingredients of the Big Mac®.
Only 14% can accurately name all Ten Commandments.
80 percent of Americans know "two all beef patties" of the Big Mac®. "Thou shalt not kill," was known to fewer than six in ten Americans.
62 percent know that pickles are an ingredient of a McDonald's® Big Mac® hamburger.
Less than half (45%) can recall the commandment to "Honor thy father and mother."
The vast majority of Americans can easily name the primary ingredients in a Big Mac®: two all beef patties (80%), lettuce (76%), sesame seed bun (75%), special sauce (66%) pickles (62%), and cheese (60%).
Seven of the Ten Commandments are familiar to less than half of Americans, including the more commonly recited, "Honor thy father and thy mother," and "Remember the Sabbath."
Bobby and Peter, the least-recalled names from the Brady Bunch (43%), were more familiar to Americans than the least-recalled commandments, "Remember the Sabbath" (34%) and "Do not make any false idols" (29%).
Even those who attend a place of worship at least once a week have a bit of trouble naming all ten. "Thou shalt not kill" (70%) and "Thou shalt not steal" (69%) are still less top-of-mind with this group than the top two ingredients in a Big Mac® - two all beef patties (79%) and lettuce (76%).
Does this run true in Canada as well?
What do you think?
Can you name all Ten Commandments without looking?
