I'm curious about the first picture in the article, with the "color berry". Was this a way to sidestep the law forbidding margarine looking like butter?
Margarine has always been confusing to me, growing up in a boring middle-class household. Child me couldn't figure out why we were eating this vile tasting stuff, calling it butter, when we could perfectly afford real butter. I'm sure it was "health" reasons that originally sparked it for my parents, and old habits die hard. My mom still insist on cooking with margarine, some 20 years later.
