Sorry guys, too late for the colored butter to aid in

taking back the market from margarine. You can

already buy colored margarine (I mean other than

yellow). Someone is marketing it in squeeze bottles

for kids, pink and blue I think.

I don't think that (meaning the funky colored

margarine) would have appealed to me even as a kid. I

never liked fake food or unnatural colors. They found

a way to make margarine worse - I'm flabbergasted.

Evidently oddly colored margarine isn't new. This is from the

pro-margarine website http://www.margarine.org/historyofmargarine.html

1902

32 states and 80% of the

U.S. population lived under margarine color bans. While the Supreme

Court upheld such bans, it did strike down forced coloration (pink)

which had begun in an effort to get around the ban on yellow

coloring. During this period coloring in the home began, with

purveyors providing capsules of food coloring to be kneaded into the

margarine. This practice continued through World War II.

1902

Amendments to the Federal

Margarine Act raised the tax on colored margarine five-fold, but

decreased licensing fees for white margarine. But demand for colored

margarine remained so strong, that bootleg colored margarine

flourished.

1904

Margarine production

suffered and consumption dropped from 120 million pounds in 1902 to

48 million.

They're doing it to ketchup too, haven't you seen? Green and blue, I

think I saw.
