I find myself in this situation in Egypt sometimes. I’ll be at a buffet and they have one type of butter packet, and it has soybean oil in it. So I’m at my table with family or friends basically being the Karen like “how do they not have even one *proper* butter option?” View quoted note →

I gotta try real hard not to be a seed oil Karen. Cause then it just comes off as being snooty cause the real stuff is expensive.

A brand new Publix here in Florida has a dairy aisle where there are signs for categories like milk and yogurt. They do not have a butter sign but rather a “margarine” sign under which you can find butter. Make it make sense.

You made me just check the ingredients in my butter! Organic milk and salt (1.5%). Why would it ever have other stuff in it!

Luckily i don't think it's quite the issue over here as it sounds in the US yet. One of the few good things in the UK at the moment

I had a similar experience in the Philippines and I didn’t want to look like the rude foreigner.

And they have the brass tacks to call it Butter Blend or something deceitful, only for it to melt into an oily color.
