    I mean, he did say a stick of butter is about a buck. A pound (4 sticks) is a little under $4 for me. So yeah, that checks out. Yeah, you almost always have to buy 4 sticks at a time but that also means you don’t have to buy 4x as often (and butter keeps plenty long in the fridge).

    I feel dirty for defending Oz, but this is pretty dumb to get worked up over. The dumbest part is using a unit that’s common for use, but not for purchase. Which… Meh.

        If we’re going to look at things with a microscope, I didn’t hear “this” stick of butter. I’m sure a box shows up better on camera

      No he didn’t. He just said “butter is a dollar”. He never specified “stick”

        He did but not in the way the other user implies. The video in the article shows him pointing to the unopened box/pound and saying “this stick”.

            Not watching the video right now, but the quote in the article is

            “Stick of butter, bag of peanuts. Butter in America, it’s about a buck [for] a stick like this.”

            …no? He said “stick of butter, bag of peanuts. Butter is about a buck” and then Laura said something

              Except butter is for box because you don’t buy just a single stick. He said “stick of butter in a bag of peanuts”, which isn’t a adult.

              Now you’re just cherry picking, because you refused to admit you’re wrong, and I don’t have time to waste on people like you.

      i’ve got one pound left in the freezer of what i got the last time it was ‘on sale’ for 99c/lb–almost two years ago, i think… it had been a very long time since it was that low, and i stocked up a lil bit. this is the midwest, where there’s lots of cows. low dairy prices used to be quite common.
