How Tall Is Your Butter, and Why?
Seems that the eastern size is more utilitarian for cooking because the stick can more easily be divided into tablespoon portions. Cutting a "fatter" stick is messier and less precise.
The French have both coasts beat by a mile.
Maybe for presentation and style but not for utility. See the tablespoon markings on the "elgin" style stick? Much easier to divide for cooking.
What is the areal difference in packaging material used?
Canada seems to be unified with only the "Elgins". At least what I have seen to date. Not all is uniform in dairyland though. Bagged milk is quite rare in Manitoba and points west, seemingly an Eastern Canada presence only.
So, this is a "length" vs. "width" question? Is there no reason why we can't have both?
