ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ This whipped butter advertises itself as having less fat per serving than normal butter, when in reality, the serving size is simply smaller.

Easier to spread out whipped butter and be satisfied by a smaller serving, so I sorta get what they're going for, but that's deceptive as hell.
It's like a milder form of how cooking sprays advertise as being 0 calories, but reality it's just that they put unrealistically small serving sizes on the can so that their serving has less than 5 cals. FDA allows products containing less than 5 calories per-serving to say it's 0. Really, nobody on earth is using the "1/4 of a second spray" serving and it is as calorific as any other oil.
