We find it amazing that the Inuit have 50 words for snow. But how crazy is it that we Swiss Germans use 100 words for the bread heel? Or 30 different regional words for the apple core.
Yes, some say Bütschgi, some Bätschgi, some Bitzgi, Ürbsi, Bixi, Inndri, Huusi and so on.
Switzerland is a country of regional diversity. Especially when it comes to food. Migros stocks over 9000 different products ‘From the region’. And as regional as the products are, so are our regional names for these items — this is our simple campaign idea.
The campaign starts on social media with a picture of a potato and the question ‘What do you call it in your region?’
And thousands respond.
The campaign then appears in countless other channels, from TV to banners, posters and, of course, at the POS.
