The Brazilians have a plan to welcome in the year of the cow.
Yellow underwear.
Seriously. 
.
In Brazil, the color of underwear worn at midnight on New Year’s Eve is believed to determine one’s luck for the year. As for me, I am a very lucky person. Except that all my luck is bad. Wrong color underwear I suppose.
Red underwear is supposed to bring passion for the new year.
Pink underwear will bring love.
White underwear will bring peace.
Green underwear will bring luck.
Yellow underwear means money.
With so many people worried about the global economic fallout, yellow underwear being taken off everywhere…of the shelves.
Brazil’s largest underwear maker (by number, not by size. Well maybe size, too.) has sold 100,000 pairs of yellow underwear and has no time to make more.
Brazil tradition - women must wash the underwear in the New Year and then wear them inside out on the first Friday of the year for the effect to work.
So, what color underwear will you be wearing?
And if that doesn’t work you can weigh in a different strategy with The Jury Bra - Made in Japan.

内衣颜色事关牛年运势
巴西民众都认真的计划着要在牛年穿黄色内衣
. .
在巴西，人们认为除夕夜当晚十二点身穿的内衣颜色决定了来年运势。我可真是个幸运儿,什么倒霉的事儿都让我遇上了。我肯定在除夕夜那天穿错了颜色。
红色代表来年有充足的干劲。
粉色表示第二年会有爱情运。
白色的内衣则被认为明年会是平和的一年、
绿色将带来运气与希望。
黄色自然代表新年会日进斗金。
大家都在为全球经济危机感到忧心重重，看来货架上黄色的内衣会十分走俏。
巴西最大的内衣厂商（根据工厂数量而非规模判定，也许是规模）已卖出十万套黄色内衣，并且短时间内无法再次大量供应。
巴西有项传统-妇女必须在新年的第一天洗内衣，并在第一个周五将内衣外穿，以求来年有好的工作效率。
那么，您今年想穿什么颜色的内衣呢？
如果这个巴西的厂商无法正常供应内衣，你可以采用另一种战略，详情请见The Jury Bra - Made in Japan.
