Consumers from Wisconsin are crossing the border to Illinois to stock up on a commodity they can't buy in the Dairy State -- Irish butter.

As it should be. Stuff is really bad for you.

+1. Works remarkably well.

I’ve had both. I prefer Amish butter, but that requires Amish Farms in less than a day’s drive. . .

There was a store in Illinois, along 41 just south of the border, that had an enormous white neon sign reading “OLEOMARGARINE” for the benefit of travelers from Wisconsin. An old friend said you could see it for miles...I believe it may have once been the world’s largest freestanding neon sign.

I also use MCT Powder. The powder is not as messy and contains both Caprylic (C8) and Capric (C10) Acid. Works great as a creamer.

Never tried this butter but is is sold at my local grocery in Texas. I will pick some up the next time I buy groceries. I love pissing off statists.

Big and Little Enos Burdette are offering $80,000 to drive a truckload Kerry Gold from Chicago to Madison...

We had a similar regulation in Iowa. I remember at age 8 it was I who had to break the little red plastic capsule so it could be spread thru the package. I also remember that crappy taste. We were living on a farm that,beside field crops, we had a few cows and sold excess dairy prod. so we quickly went to the pioneer practice of churning our own butter. I, unfortunately, inherited the churning job...a lot more work buy much better taste.

They didn't dare give their margarine a presumptuous name like "Can't Believe it's Not Butter"...more like "Can't Believe it's Not Lard".

“Margarine ought to be banned - everywhere.”

If I need to saute something at high temp I will use margarine or olive oil in very small amounts. Butter does not like high temps. After saute I will then put real butter on it for real flavor.

God gifted me with low cholesterol and I use butter to the extreme. It is good!

For those not gifted with low cholesterol, life sucks. However, numerous studies condemn butter and many others do not. I am a health care professional and the answer is we really do not know.

I love Kerrygold butter.

They’re making butter out of Irish people?

What kind of world do we live in?

Many years ago the French wine industry was devastated by a disease. In Texas we had a grape that was totally unsuitable for wine grapes but was totally resistant to the disease. Our grapes vines were then used in France and grafted to wine producing grape vines. When you drink fine French wine and it is good, their roots are in Texas.

I am a butternut. Butter is one of my very favorite things. Irish butter is wonderful, and so is hand rolled Amish butter. Sometimes I brown my butter just a little, because it brings out a rich flavor, and then pour it over my popcorn. I like a little popcorn with my butter, and of course nicely salted.

I get rolls of Amish butter here in Cali, perhaps your locals stores sell it as well.

Organic Valley co-op in Wisconsin markets pasture fed butter, you can taste the clover

Sorry! I guess that means that Irish coffee is just coffee grown in Ireland?

I’ll have to try it. All I buy is Land O’ Lakes Sweet Cream Unsalted Butter. Good stuff!

I bought some....it taste like butter. So, does Wisconsin butter taste different?
