The latest, schwupp di wupp, is mostly used when things disappear (almost) unnoticeable. E.g. by the hand of a magician. Since a couple of weeks, I'm the proud owner of a device called Schwupp Di Wupp:
Schwupp Di Wupp is used for recycling (a favorite Swiss pastime). A lot of people use boxes and the standard Swiss paper shopping bags, to collect recyclable items (example). They are very robust, but unfortunately have their limits. Schwupp Di Wupp is specially designed to hold those bags in form. When on of it is full, one can grab the handles and take is to the recycling station. Clean, easy, efficient and very schwupp di wupp. As we Swiss are.
* literally: bat at the head, meaning as fast as a bat could hit your head.

I admire this swiss recycling attitude, therefor I think that the Schwupp Di Wupp is a genial idea...:)
I too love swiss recycling.. And now that I think about it, since I'm inspiring you to get back into exercising, well maybe I need to do a post on how much Canada is backwards compared to Switzerland when it comes to recycling...
Yes yes yes...
Oh and you've made me miss Switz again. I just loved how easy it was to recycle glass etc. esp since really they don't charge so much money for recycled goods...
omg my mom does this she is a recycle queen!
I just got my year supply of "Blue Bags" for recycling. We just have to sort out our goods into those bags and the city picks them up and does the sort on their end.
Funny enough - my brother usually only calls me while he is driving and bored to death and needs to pass the time, always on the same day too!
