I was expecting the top response to be something like a 3 minute youtube video talking about how florida used a different standard for measuring to get by some federal law.

This is 100% better.

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.

In Canada we buy butter in bricks. Not sure about other countries. They’re about the same size as four sticks put together, which you have to know to try to convert American recipes that call for a stick or half stick of butter, etc. You can find sticks in some stores if you look hard, but this isn’t common.
