Golf courses, convenience stores, and other businesses benefit from extra afternoon sunlight. For example, in the mid-1980s Clorox (parent of Kingsford Charcoal) and 7-Eleven provided the primary funding for the Daylight Saving Time Coalition that successfully lobbied to extend U.S. DST, and both Idaho senators voted to extend DST on the basis of fast-food restaurants selling more French fries made from Idaho potatoes.[11]
OK, we got golf, Corox, candy, potatoes. Sounds like a yummy picnic!
A fellow from my hometown has always refused to pay any attention to this hoo-ha. Thinks it's some kind of commy conspiracy. I like this new term "DST." Sounds like a pesticide, or a learning disability.
