F_in Ray Of Sunshine Posted August 2, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 2, 2020 ....but I won’t believe you. Why does the unsalted butter come in a box with a blue label, yet the individual sticks have RED labels....and the salted butter is exactly opposite? 🤬 Someone, somewhere is having a good chuckle over this.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted August 2, 2020 Share #2 Posted August 2, 2020 I'd be more concerned the unsalted is used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s because it isn’t just butter manufacturers that hate me. The pudding calls for a half a stick of butter. I had a partial stick in the fridge....but of course it wasn’t quite half a stick. Of course I had to open another stick for one goddamn tablespoon. I must have been really, really bad in a previous life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted August 2, 2020 Share #4 Posted August 2, 2020 It's so they won't run out of red or blue ink if there's a run on unsalted or salted - both red and blue will get used. It's like the bookies in Las Vegas and their odds on baseball games, etc. They do NOT set the point spreads based on how they think the game with end, they set them where they think the spread will make 50% of betters bet each way - that way they're guaranteed a small profit. Similarly, the Tops people - their cousins the Topps make baseball cards - are guaranteeing they'll use up both colors of ink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll raise you one. I actually went and checked, assuming it was your rouge local dairies doing the dirty dealings. But nope, our salted butter is also blue wrapper and red box and the wrapper only says “butter.” The blue box/red wrapper unsalted butter at least has the decency to put “unsalted” on the wrapper.

I am also concerned about the quality of the butter, never having bought that particular store brand. When you melt and drink a glass of it, how does it compare with Kerrygold or Crisco?

There’s a milk plant in town* that has amazing butter, but it’s in a big tub - too big to use before it starts to go bad. *might even be the same one where Judge Barlow bought his buttermilk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The butter is in a half gallon tub, much like sherbet. They’re more aimed at the commercial market, rather than the consumer market. The dairy store is just incidental. (Although the clerk in the store is a cute girl I went to school with). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
