Haha! I think this is funny. In the 1950’s when margarine became popular, there was such a law also in Minnesota. It was supposed to protect the dairy market.

We would have to squeeze the yellow dye bubble and then play with the bag of margarine to get the color equally dispersed in the margarine. But I think that silly law expired about 40 years ago

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".
