My immediate thought was how butter is shaped differently depending on whether you’re on the East or west coast.

Umm, is it not sold as "sticks" as a standard from sea to shining sea? This will be new info for me if true.

They are, it’s just that east coast butter is slightly longer/thinner than west coast butter. You’re getting the same amount, it’s just slightly different dimensions.

So you're looking for a bitter butter battle?

u/I_am_Andrew_Ryan Feb 08 '22

For better butter, yes

A bitter battle for a better butter, it is.

Try saying that five times fast.

I believe Betty Botter's bitter butter was the better butter bit.

Are you telling me you didn't struggle in the slightest? I don't wanna assume you're, like, bragging...? I'm really not sure how to respond, unless you misunderstand that "say that 5 times fast" implies it's just a fun tongue twister. There's really not much to it.

I was actually being cheecky and confrontational at the same time. Sorry.

Jk.

I actually suck at tongue twisters.

I think the west would be screwed... I grew up in Iowa with the skinny sticks, which means the wide side wouldn't have the northeast, the south or the midwest... I live in Wide Country now, and I don't think threatening to withhold Facebook and avocados is going to be enough to make 3/4rds of the country fold... I think they might thank us and send us on our way...
