My mother tells about some neighbors she had when she was a girl. They were dairy farmers and this happened during WWII when real butter was hard to come by. The neighbors had a guest to lunch and he kept raving about how good the "real dairy butter" was.

Nobody had the heart to tell him that every ounce of butterfat went to town in milk cans and what he was eating was margarine that had been put into butter molds after mixing in the dye.

We weren’t that inventive as we just left the Oleo in the bowl I mixed it in. I remember the wars over letting the Lard factory add the yellow coloring before it left the plant...
