It’s a tale as old as… well, since margarine was invented. Butter, the once powerhouse of baking, breakfast, and mashed potato toppings is not great.
They say necessity is the mother of invention and margarine was (Probably) invented because some guy was pissed off because it’s impossible to butter his toast.
I interviewed one of my co hosts on this subject, so here it is
Do you like butter or margarine?
Tyler: Butter
That is interesting, care to explain why?
Tyler: Uhhhh, mostly because idk what the fuck margarine is
Neither do I, which is why Brody looked it up and told us. (Shoutout Brody)
A butter substitute made from vegetable oils or animal fats.
Okay, so margarine is probably not that healthy for you. But who gives a shit? I’ll sacrifice a few years of my life if it means it only seconds to spread Country Crock on my waffles in the morning vs 25 minutes to get one slice of butter to spread.
My mom banned margarine from our house when I was younger because it wasn’t as healthy as butter. (Neither is alcohol, but that never stopped me) So I’ve tried all kinds of butters and the only one that comes close is Land O Lakes butter made with olive oil. Still, not as easy as country crock.
Now I’m sure there’s butter out there that doesn’t suck that I haven’t tried and honestly I’m not interested. You wouldn’t keep looking for a woman after you get married. (Maybe you do, but who am I to judge)
So why would I give up my #1 to try something that doesn’t even compare.
All in all, butter is not great.
Thank you for reading this very informative and well written blog.
Shoutout to Country Crock. I love ya.
P.s. I found this on google while looking for a butter picture. How fucking weird is it?
