"Pass The Butter ...
Please"
Margarine was
originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the
people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put
their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their
money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they
added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter.
How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new
flavorings.
