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.
