And I am nerdy enough to know why you had to do that. You see, the butter lobby was convinced that margine was evil stuff for one, and would cut into their market for too. In order to cut down on sales the lobbied so that margarine makers could not dye it. In some markets they even had to dye it wierd colors. It worked, margine sells dipped but the law only said they couldn't dye it. They got around it by putting a little bit of dye in with the margine I.E. the dot or a little package that came along with it.

Now. Aren't you glad you know that?
