Odd sights in Switzerland

This was last week, but forgot to post about it.
Was sat on the 7:45 train from Fribourg to Wankdorf () and across the aisle was a chap speaking Swiss German on his mobile. Nothing unusual in that, I hear you say, apart from the fact he was drinking from a can of Feldschlosschen and wearing a pair of black see-through leggings (no trousers) and lined Crocs (with no socks). It really was quite an unusual sight.

Feldschlösschen (I thought that's just used to keep the bees away)...was it at least the premium one?

Funnily enough, yes it was (the gold can?).

BTW: Is there actually a difference between them? Or is the premium one just a bit more expensive?

Re: Odd sights in Switzerland

Has carnival time begun in Fribourg ? I thought it was another 4 weeks. Just be careful he doesn't follow you to CSL !

Did this coincide with 'No Pants Day' (no trousers) that was happening in many cities of the world?
