What a breakthrough! Here I was wasting all that time and energy cutting a stick of butter in half. This new product is an absolute salvation--and thank God our country has the resources to spend on worthy endeavors like this--while less fortunate people worldwide are starving for want of...butter.
Or any other food. Feh.

That was a pretty thoughtful invention. Next they will have to come out with fourth sticks Thanks for the rebate form, will have to try it out if I can find somewhere to get it from

The sky is the limit. Who knows? Maybe someday we'll see butter patties?

Thank God you won't have to waste your time cutting your butter anymore! Now you can dedicate more time to useless troll posting!
Half sticks, ha. Everybody is so spoiled these days. When I was a child butter came in a single one-pound block. Imagine that. We actually had to cut it into quarter pound sticks ourselves and that was after walking 4 miles to the market and back, uphill both ways.
Thanks OP. I was going to buy some butter this weekend anyway. Also, I am moving in a couple of months, so I should be able to use this again and be set for a while (butter-wise).

Is it a Canadian company. Why they mentioned CA in the rebate form?

One pound blocks, ha. Everybody was so spoiled those days. When I was a child butter wasn't available in stores. Imagine that. We actually had to milk our cows, churn the milk into butter and chill it underground in wooden boxes and that was at 4 am in the morning.

...and then walk to school naked with windchills of 60-below zero, uphill both ways, and we liked it!

green for the freebie though
Surprisingly, it is a full pound. I half expected it to say 14 oz. or something. Problem is, that would mess up a whole bunch of recipes.
That whole "less for more" idea is a real ugly trend. I think it all started with the bacon guys cutting you back to 12 oz. from a pound. Then the cereal guys with less weight in the same box. I honestly wish they would be up front and just keep things the same size and raise the damn price honestly. I feel like they think we're stupid and won't notice or something.

I feel like they think we're stupid and won't notice or something. It's really bad with candy, too. Reeses Peanut Butter cups are like half the size they used to be. Worst of all is those damn tasty Peppridge Farm cookies. They shrink every 6 months it seems.

the form says, "1 lb." so, yes, it would be the same weight.
It is an absolutely silly idea that will contribute to our Laziness Index. It will fail commercially or may be not. Meanwhile, I don't mind getting it free though. Thanks OP.

Thanks. I'm in for a pound.
My Grandmother used to just pull out a quarter pound stick out of the package at the store and say, "This is all I need." The clerks don't let her get away with that anymore, because how could they scan a quarter pound stick with no bar code?
