I'm with Julia Childs on that, and will never be a skinny minnie.<br /><br />Amy - Australia has a lot of bakers too ;) Although, if you're going by sheer population numbers, instead of percentage, America definitely wins. I'm just surprised none of the Aust. dairy companies have realised how much better sticks of butter would be.Madeleinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193070164584925505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961604105772410147.post-22503183966745816382011-07-09T01:26:37.025-07:002011-07-09T01:26:37.025-07:00It's for baking purposes.

I always get the sticks when I make cookies, and the tubs for everything else.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285525086889595753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961604105772410147.post-33847251940632855972011-07-09T00:01:42.375-07:002011-07-09T00:01:42.375-07:00"A loaf of bread, a container of milk and a s..."A loaf of bread, a container of milk and a stick of butter ... I REMEMBER! I REMEMBER!" (an old line from Sesame Street).<br /><br />I agree ... that is a perfect size for butter. I always end up with so much left over and going rancid in the fridge. <br /><br />As a side note, I'm guessing that although the sticks of butter are tiny, there may well be an entire stick in your standard bucket of popcorn and I think that still translates to the Australian standard measurement <br />"a s#!+load".<br /><br />A bucket of coffee sounds reasonable to me. I wouldn't mind one of those.melbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14032793912135092967noreply@blogger.com
