Good luck getting REAL butter anywhere but a grocery. Every restaurant just offers margarine, or as I call it, axle grease. Butter has two ingredients—milk, salt, as it says on the carton. Margarine has a paragraph of unspeakable words naming the concoctants. Ew...pass. I’m considering putting a small container of butter in my bugout bag that goes everywhere with me when I’m going out for chow. Guess it’s having it your way, as the old BK commercial went.

Wisconsin is the dairy state:

From 1925-1967 margarine was banned from sale in the state of Wisconsin. I guess Wisconsinites even tried smuggling it in, or making what they called “oleo runs” from Illinois. Thousands of Wisconsinites became fake-butter law breaking felons.

You criminals!

No joke. Wisconsin statute 98.17 has been in place since 1895 and it still stands today. It’s still illegal for restaurants to serve margarine – unless the customer specifically orders it. The “yellow stick from Satan himself,” as Governor Warren Knowles called it – is also a big no no in prisons, hospitals, schools or other state institutions – unless absolutely necessary for health reasons.
