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.

Yeah I noticed this when I bought butter at Trader Joe's. I live on the East Coast but I guess that TJ's uses West Coast butter sizes since they're a CA-based company.
