Got my Butter Boy loaded with butter and I'm ready.

I have never seen one of these. It is just a butter storer?

You place half a stick in him and when you pop the top part of his head off he becomes a ""roller"" for buttering your corn. Used it last night for the first time and it was great. There is a plunger in the bottom that you push up. Put his top back on and stick him in the fridge.

Where did you get him cuz I want one?

Bed Bath and Beyond. I'm getting another one for my DD for her Christmas stocking and DH wants me to get a couple for our neighbors gifts.

Thank you. Hitting that on the way home from work and I just decided to leave early!!

Ya'll are welcome. Hope you have fun with the little cutie.

We only use butter in this home. If you get it on sale it is just a few cents more then margarine so I use it for baking also.

No thanks. I'll still be using as little butter, fats, margarine as I can, avoiding fat on the little meat that we do eat and continue eliminating processed foods when possible.

ITA! BUT, these clueless people can eat all the fat, greasy gunk until they pop. Have to keep the doctors in business. Have to keep the insulin makers in business. Have to keep the dialysis centers in business. So go ahead, eat away. You'll pay later. Guaranteed.

I think you may be the one who is clueless. Fat is essential in our diet. We should have fat in moderation. Real butter is better for you than fake margarine.

Exactly!!

I never stopped eating butter and real sugar. No sugar substitutes for me. Thankfully I am not diabetic nor do I have high cholesterol. I eat butter on average every 3 months or so, so I think I will be okay.

Also, when I started cooking and baking healthier several years ago, I went to the store to buy the sugar substitute they recommended. Once I saw the cancer warning on the side of the box I said, "Forget it." I now cook and bake with real sugar, but cut down the amount by about 1/4 cup.
