TIL that Germany created synthetic butter from coal during WW2. It was described as nutritious and of agreeable taste. - eviltoast

    There is no “generic fat”. The texture isn’t the same. The flavor isn’t the same.

    If you serve me margarine like it’s butter, I will spit it in a trash can in front of you, and it will take an extended period of time and mouthwash to get that nasty grimy shit out of my mouth. You pretending “it’s just fat” is fine, but I’m telling you, people are disgusted by margarine because it’s really fucking disgusting, and if you try to sneak margarine by me, it will destroy the entire meal.
