Paper cover? Not sure I've seen that before, Jenny.
Shedd's Spread Country Crock....the stuff we've ate for as long as I can remember comes with a little plastic piece covering the spread.

I'm the exact opposite though.....I can't stand to use it if the plastic thing is still attached! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I voted other.....I use both margarine and butter. :D

Butter the flavor and way it melts can't be beat. I don't know if I've ever even bought margarine....

Butter. Was raised on it. We also use Smart Balance and I like it.

But for cooking, baking it's always butter. :D

My parents went on some nutty diet and now we use some silly 0 cal, flavorless, primarily water "spray butter". :(

Dad always said that, growing up on a farm, fresh butter was almost white. Coloring was added and mixed to make it yellow. I guess my question is, what's the matter with white butter?

Dr. Oz says margarine is bad! Butter is better. The body knows how to digest butter because its a milk based food, natural. Margarine is synthetic and stays in our system, turning solid?!?! :o I'll take butter, thank you :P :wench:

Just watching "How It's Made" on the Discovery Channel. They said the yellow color is natural cause of the Vitamin A in it. :)

But color wouldn't bother me if it was white or yellow. :)
