Moderator Mardi Tindal is scheduled to be on CBC radio's "As It Happens" this evening, responding to Sen.

Whilst listening to "Ontario Today" on the cbc this afternoon, I was jarred awake by the sound of a Kiwi guy named Mike who had called in to discuss the merits of butter and in particular, the nastiness of those little whipped butter packets. He had apparently been served a small mound of the stuff on some pancakes he had ordered in a restaurant, and mistaking the substance for clotted cream, decided it would taste better in his coffee.

Needless to say, the oily scum on the surface of his brew revealed that the substance was indeed "butter".
