I never thought I'd live to see the day that someone would wax poetic or philosophical about butter. Leave it to unoriginal marketing (borrowing name-brand recognition) and a mischievous grocery clerk to put together the "three philosophies" of butter: faith, reason, and hope. Of course, the products displayed aren't even butter, but that's another issue.

Please note that the image was originally captured by Elysse Sewell, who posted the it on LiveJournal. The caption "Faith. Reason. Hope" comes from Adam Conover of tweebiscuit.net.

I just popped by ctv.ca during my morning sojourn for new during breakfast and I found an article on Japanese pop culture. The article mentioned roll-on butter in a glue-stick format: uncap, roll up the stick, and roll on the butter.

Given the fact that I utterly refuse to use any hydrogenated fat like margarine in my kitchen, I am very familiar with how difficult it is to handle a stick of butter. Like many people, I am looking for an innovative solution to easily dispense butter.

Besides, the "butter stick", I found two more solutions:

Firstly, dubbed a mildly useless invention by ctv, here is the butter stick:

Secondly, there is "roll-on butter", which oddly reminds me of roll-on deodorant and a Seinfeld episode where Kramer decides to shave with butter instead of shaving cream or soap.

Thirdly, there is a "pat-o-butter dispenser." It comes in blue too.

For now, I think I'll just stick with the tried and true butter dish and use a butter knife.
