"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.
