The Exchange Rate For Pizza
So what does pizza have to do with exchange rates? Quite a lot if you live in Switzerland. About a year ago, Swiss customs changed the law
and allowed food deliveries like pizza to avoid having to pass through
customs. However, over the past year, the Swiss franc has strengthened
while the euro has lost value. With a strong Swiss franc, the Swiss
customs administration changed the law back, forcing pizza deliveries to
pass through customs. As a result, bargain-hunting Swiss can no longer
have pizzas delivered from Germany or France.
