The prosecutor on its part suggests a variety of cloth- ing styles, whereas the jury(audience), just if in the court of law, agrees or disagrees with the prosecution by means of electronic voting.

Today, when the entire world is highly concerned with quality and safety of Consumer Goods, “Sample Purchase” on a daily basis compares typical products of mass consumption of different manufacturers (trade marks, brands).

A sense of trust to the program is created by the main principle – “Sample Purchase” never collaborates with Adver- tisers and Manufacturers of Consumer Goods due to paramount character of consumer interests. Already the first round of the program is formed in a manner which disables the manufacturer whose product was declined by the consumers to take part in the further contest. Despite the fact that the declined goods may not win the title of most consumer-friendly product the ultimate laboratorial test allows participation of such products, due to the fact that consumer’s choice at the initial testing may prove to contradict his/her own interests and further laboratorial investigation. The program constitutes a fascinating show with contribution on the part of celebrities. Moreover, the show provides remarkable suggestions in respect of investigated product.
