First, here are the steps to the method:

Flatten the Land O’Lakes butter packaging.
Use an Xacto knife or scissors to cut out the front and back panels of the box, so that you have two identical images.
In the first panel, use an Xacto knife to cut out/extract the tiny box of butter she is holding (the part of the image that allows the Droste Effect to occur).
Take your second panel of the butter packaging and flip it upside down. Lie it face side up behind your initial panel that you cut the tiny box of butter from. *OR, simply cut out the knees and affix with tape behind the hole you’ve created in the first panel.
And there ya go—exposed “boobs”.

I suspect, the *old* image just became an instant *collector’s item*.

I’ll have to check the trash for old-style valuable boxes.

“The original art was drawn by a Native American, in honor of his people and their heritage. I would be outraged if I was Native American”

absolutely ... removing Indian-inspired logos and commercial images throughout our society is in effect is erasing their presence ... to me (and i’m not Indian), it’s absolutely horrifying ...

“Butter is butter. Just buy the generic or house brands, and let them enjoy their “wokeness” and loss of sales.”

indeed ... and now their distinctive packaging will no longer stand out amongst the platoons of generic labels ...

“Amazing how people who are supposedly “good” at business totally screw up. You come up with a world-wide recognized logo and ditch it? Just plain stupid.”

get woke, go broke ... ans yes, it was insane to ditch such a distinctive and recognizable logo ... now LoL butter will simply be buried in an platoon of generic butter boxes ..

I had a friend who worked for a label machine company. He would travel around the world servicing hem in plants. He would tell stories about the plants in the middle of a run, stop the line, change the labels, and start the line back up.

Even in beer lines where the liquid is being changed. The first two or three hundred bottles are mislabeled. It’s simply not practical to be that efficient.

You have never tasted Amish butter.

It only appeared twice in my local supermarket. It was a large log for 7 dollars. The first time I passed. The second time I decided to splurge.

I had two butters at home. Store brand and Cabots.

I did a taste test. THERE IS NO COMPARISON.

Even Cabots tasted 3rd rate to the Amish butter.

I don't know how or why. The cows? The churning process? The salt?

If you ever see Amish butter do yourself a favor and give it a try.

Shrug. Being from northern Wisconsin originally, I knew a lot of Ojibwa. (Was even related to a few by marriage.) The young lady on the Land o’ Lakes packaging looks no more Native American to me than the young lady on the Contadina packaging looks Italian.

I’ll keep buying Land o’ Lakes products because the company is a farmer-owned co-op, and I have an affinity for independent dairy farmers. It’s a tough way to make a living and it takes a lot of grit to choose it and stick with it. I respect that.
