It's a *proven* fact that bunting increases our happiness quotient by a factor of 85.
In the 1960s, a study carried out by Professor Sehr Glücklich showed that just 10 minutes exposure to beautiful bunting caused a 'happiness spike' which lasted for several hours.
Apparently his research showed that bunting triggers a release of the neurotransmitter dopamine, a hormone associated with pleasure.
Repeated exposure reinforces the effect, so it follows that utilising bunting in multiple locations within the home ensures that the pleasure centres of the brain are adequately topped up, resulting in a sub-euphoric state, which can be maintained almost indefinitely.
So there you have it.
Irrefutable proof, IF it was needed, that bunting makes you happy!

Ha, professors are known to undertake research on obscure topics to ensure tenure. I'm sure he had a long, happy career.
