A stick in a box like that is about a dollar but the box contains 4 sticks, what an idiot.
I mean, he did say a stick of butter is about a buck. A pound (4 sticks) is a little under $4 for me. So yeah, that checks out. Yeah, you almost always have to buy 4 sticks at a time but that also means you don't have to buy 4x as often (and butter keeps plenty long in the fridge).
I feel dirty for defending Oz, but this is pretty dumb to get worked up over. The dumbest part is using a unit that's common for use, but not for purchase. Which... Meh.
The video in the article shows him pointing to the unopened box/pound and saying "this stick".
If we're going to look at things with a microscope, I didn't hear "this" stick of butter. I'm sure a box shows up better on camera
No he didn’t. He just said “butter is a dollar”. He never specified “stick”
He did but not in the way the other user implies. The video in the article shows him pointing to the unopened box/pound and saying "this stick".
Just before he said "stick of butter"
But just after Laura Ingram called him out
Not watching the video right now, but the quote in the article is
Sorry you’re having trouble. But I’m blocking you for the same reason I blocked the last guy.
Lol mkay. Bye.
...no? He said "stick of butter, bag of peanuts. Butter is about a buck" and then Laura said something
Except butter is for box because you don’t buy just a single stick. He said “stick of butter in a bag of peanuts”, which isn’t a adult.
Now you’re just cherry picking, because you refused to admit you’re wrong, and I don’t have time to waste on people like you.

i've got one pound left in the freezer of what i got the last time it was 'on sale' for 99c/lb--almost two years ago, i think.. it had been a very long time since it was that low, and i stocked up a lil bit. this is the midwest, where there's lots of cows. low dairy prices used to be quite common.
