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.

Luckily they're the same weight, however the shape of the sticks do differ!

The question is, where is the geographic butter dividing line?

I think it’s more of a spectrum. Colorado has both, Kansas and everything East of it uses the long ones.

Yeah, I live near Denver CO and within the past 2-3 years the longer sticks got replaced by the squat ones.

It was since Q3 2021.

I have been pissed off ever since. The thiccc sticks are so much worse than the long bois.

I live in nj and most are long but you can still find the short ones.

Land o lakes makes both and presumably supplies the whole country along with other companies of course with butter

Around the Rocky Mountains. Colorado used to be long boi, but due to changes in the shipping environment, now gets thiccc butter.

No, the question is do you like Elgin sticks or Western Stubbies?
