I don't remember the packets of color, but my mother told me about them. Oleo margarine was introduced when she was a little girl and she thought " oleo margarine" was such a pretty sounding pair of words, she named her doll "oleo margarine".

I grew up in a butter family - my grandmother was a great baker and pastry cook. But now the doctor says everything is dairy is bad for us, I have two vegans and gluten-free in the younger generation of our family, and I am learning to cook with a tub of vegan butter, egg substitute powder and almond milk instead of butter, eggs, and cream. I am too old for this kind of change...HELP!

Yup, I think that was around 1947. My brother and I stayed with a neighbor after school so that Mom could work. I guess we used the barter system. Mom washed and set and brushed out the neighbor's hair once a week, Skip emptied the ashes from the burner, Dad gave them whatever he could from his Butcher Shop, and Skip & I were in charge of breaking the "button" and magically turning the white stuff into "butter". Our treat was always the same thing, a piece of white bread
with oleo spread on it and lathered with mint jelly!!!!
