A few at a time please! Mind you, I have offered to treat
overseas correspondents to a beer or two at the DogFish Head Pub
in Gaithersburg. Sadly, the number of drinks would have to be
limited because of drinking and driving laws :-)

I like my butter in the one pound blocks as well. It's probably my
imagination but it seems better. I can't put my finger on why though.
Go figure.

Not this one, and probably not the next either.

No, 400. Single phase mains is 230V/50Hz.

I've never bothered to look it up, because I thought it was a made up

Oddly enough, I never connected it with anything. I thought it was one of
Shelly's made up words.

You could buy the two stick Land O'Lakes half pound package if the pound
is too much for you?
Most likely it is a brainstorm they came up with to have a reason to
advertise and encourage folks to buy because otherwise....what *is*
there to say "new" about butter otherwise?

In the western portion of the US, butter sticks are shorter and fatter.
In the eastern side they're longer and skinnier. Each are 1/4 pound but
the dimensions vary. There actually are names for the shape of those
different sticks, but I can't recall it now?

Margarine came in sticks too. Soft margarine came in tubs, but I don't
consider that the same as margarine when being compared to butter?

They could bring back the, "It's not NICE to fool with nature"
commercials.

On second thought, then they might have to justify all the
artificial ingredients they put in their product lines.
