Hey, back in the day didn't butter come in sticks longer than today's
little 3.25" stubbies? Seems like maybe they were half-pound sticks --
same cross section but twice as long. I used marge for many years; when I
came back to butter it seems like this change had happened. Or am I
misremembering? Or is this a regional thing? In the middle there, I did
move to the other end of the country.
