"Sticks" of butter are something a Canadian only sees when they travel to the USA or watches American television. Butter is just not obtainable that way here.
I'm in Toronto, and I get butter all the time that is four "sticks" but it's sold all as one unit. You just cut it into quarters.
Also the wrapper has measurements on it.
Poor bastards. Sticks are a step up from the blocks in Canada.
Kiwi here, nope. We do have a grams marking on some brands' blocks of butter. But it's far simpler looking, it's just a "cut here for 50g, 100g..." series of lines.
Brit here: no markings on block butter wrappers at all..
I'm English, and we certainly do have markings on packs of butter - but it's dependent on the manufacturer, some do, some don't.
Agreed, but they're usually grams at 50g increments, not volumetric. Country Life for example.
