Sun Cruiser and YouGov Survey Says Nearly Two-Thirds of Americans Would Eliminate Daylight Saving Time if They Could; 40 Percent Admit They "Hate" Darker Days
BOSTON, Oct. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sun Cruiser, the ready-to-drink alcoholic beverage made with real brewed iced tea and real vodka, today announced a new study that uncovered how Americans really feel about Daylight Saving Time.
The survey, conducted by the brand in partnership with YouGov, found that nearly two-thirds of Americans over 21 believe that the biannual adjustment of clocks should be eliminated because of its antiquated nature, and 40% of those who feel this way say it's because they "hate" that it gets dark early in the fall and winter[1].
Armed with these findings, Sun Cruiser is going to do something about it – for one lucky person.
As most of the United States prepares to adjust their clocks on November 3 for Daylight Saving Time – making the days shorter – Sun Cruiser will relocate one lucky winner to the sunniest place in the world: Yuma, Arizona. In Yuma, not only do residents experience a world-leading average of 4,000 hours of sunshine a year,[2] but the clocks are never reset, as Daylight Saving Time is not observed there.
Sun Cruiser will help a fan escape to Yuma and bask in the sun without the worry of early sunsets and darkness. The brand will cover rent for an apartment with pool access, moving expenses, a travel stipend and a year's supply of Sun Cruiser*.
"At Sun Cruiser, we celebrate sunny moments by offering the perfect beverage for easy sipping and all-day fun," says Sun Cruiser Senior Brand Director Erica Taylor. "We're helping our fans soak up more sunshine with Sun Cruiser, just in time for the dreaded Daylight Savings time adjustment."
