Even just the name sounds…wrong, doesn’t it?
Oh where, oh where has my butter stick gone? Japan. They invented it.
Gone are the days of using a knife to spread like a peasant. You’ll never have to wash butter off your utensils ever again. I’m a modern woman. I like my dishwasher and microwave, but are we trying to cut out too many steps?
At first glance, it could seem convenient, but several potential flaws come to mind. Most likely, this invention is only good for cultures of people who don’t know what over 90 degrees feels like. I doubt the base of that tube is liquid proof, should that thing melt.
I’m just not sure that I’m at the point to where I can’t live without butter on my person 24/7. What’s next, having jeans made with special butter stick holders? This madness needs to stop, people.
Haven’t the lovely Japanese given the world enough weird stuff? I still don’t know how to pick up rice with those devilish sticks. All of their buildings have hats on them. And don’t even get me started on anime.
If you do use a butter stick, I have just one word of advice for you. Ladies, when you reach into your purse, just be careful which stick you grab. You could accidentally be gluing your toast together without even knowing it.
P.S. If there are any ninjas reading, I love Japanese people. Don’t come find me.
Hilarious, Rachel - am with you all the way on this one: What a bloody stupid idea! Daft as the proverbial brush! Like your quip about gluing toast together: jolly droll!

Wow. That was a lot of British-isms. I think I understand though. You want directions to which Pub?

Lol!!!! that really does look like a glue stick. It does not conjure the sensation of hunger for me. Nope. Not appetizing at all. 😄

Never! I adore spreading oh-too-much butter on my toast and sandwiches. As in ‘oops! I grabbed too much. Oh well’ but you and I both know I don’t regret it at all.
What’s next? Cups that cough? (OK. I doubt anyone will get that reference. It’s from an old, OLD skit by John Astin — of Adams Family fame — that used to crack up my sister and me. But I digress..)
Butter lovers UNITE. No more sticks! No more sticks!

If it’s odd, it probably came from Japan. *nods sagely*

It really do look like a glue stick. I can see the kids trying to glue stuff and complaining it doesn’t work. On the upside, safe for kids to lick of the paper…
I guess I could, maybe, suspending my disbelief for a while, see how it could work in the winter, for toast. But who only wants a tiny amount of butter smeared on her toast? Not THIS butter lover!!!

Okay, so the picture is ridiculous - I can’t imagine that not tearing a slice of bread or leaving all kinds of bread detritus unappetizingly stuck on the stick. However, in their defense: my wife and I have a similar butter dispenser (you load it with a normal stick of butter and its a bit more like deodorant than a glue stick) and it is perfect for buttering corn on the cob.
