Brazil has already moved forward, Europe is going back this coming weekend (28/29), and the US is going back on Sat 4/Sun 5.
Pick a single darn date and stick with it instead of confusing people all over the globe!!!!

You could actually have a couple of weeks when the UK and France were the same time and not have to change your clocks when you holidayed in either country. | | The following 2 users would like to thank Medea Fleecestealer for this useful post: | |

I discovered a salted peanut butter ice-cream by Ben & Jerry's but when I went back for more, my Coop no longer had any.

Spotted at the Coop: Ham and cranberry flavored potato chips.
Which begs the question: Why?

Invariably after discovering a delightful new product I go back later to purchase it again, only to find the desired item has inexplicably disappeared, never to return.
I have now learned to buy multiples of any new discovery I think I will like.
FWP: In the land of minimilism, Swiss retail stock practices have turned me into something of a hoarder.

#needmorestoragespace | | | | | I’ve got the same issues.
I actually think consumer people at Coop and Migros keep a careful eye on my shopping, and when there’s an item I seem to particularly like they suspect there must be something with it, so it needs to be discontinued. Perhaps I have totally opposite tastes to the rest of the Swiss population?
