Butter Substitutes

Francis Heaney pointed me at this post about things that I can’t believe aren’t “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter”, and their amusing names, such as “Butter It’s Not!” and “You’d Think It’s Butter!” My suggestions:

  • Butter? I Got Yer Butter Right Here, Pal!
  • I Do Believe It’s Not Butter! I Do Believe It’s Not Butter!
  • ‘Tis A Far, Far Butter Thing

    “If this is butter, then please bring me some mayonnaise. But if this is mayonnaise, then please bring me some butter.”

Yes, the most delicious hamburger of all is not brown, but
green. The green of money. Denominations of hamburger
(and current value in USD:)

* 1/4-pounder ($3.79)
* Cuneiform, or "Cuney" ($8.00)

Problems with the currency:

1. Deflation due to hunger
2. Fraud (soy fillers)
3. Hamburgers not invented yet
