In my shopping area there is an MMM with an in-house bakery and its own sales counter and a newly renovated MM with an in-house bakery but without its own sales counter (previously it had its own sales counter).

At the sales counter there was only the Butterzopf - this is light, fluffy and slightly lighter in color and was baked in the in-house bakery - sometimes it was still warm, wrapped in a neutral brown bag. In the shop there is also the Buurezopf - this is dense, heavy, puffy and yellowish and is probably baked in Gossau SG - advertised as fresh ¬ handmade.

When these two products are on sale in a supermarket without a sales counter - with similar names, almost identical packaging and stacked on the shelf in alternating and ever-changing piles - I sometimes get confused when shopping. You can now say "Zopf is Zopf" at the breakfast table at home or say to those who refuse to eat Buurezopf: "Bird - eat or die" - but that doesn't help me much, because the Buurezopf is simply not eaten or only eaten reluctantly.

I would welcome it - because the name itself is so similar - that something would be changed to the almost identical packaging, because I am sure that there is also this confusion among the filling staff, otherwise the sales location would always be the same and not alternate...
