No. I hardly ever buy margarine. My father told me that when margarine first came out, it was illegal for manufacturers to color it yellow. He said they included a coloring that you could mix-in yourself.

That's true in Wisconsin, I remember my parents "smuggling" colored oleo in from Illinois.

Margarine without coloring looked like sticks of wax - extremely unappetizing looking. I understood the law was pushed by the dairy industry so margarine would be less competitive with butter.
Fortunately, we mostly used butter from my grandparent's cows. I also got the job of churning the butter.
