Butter Bricks

piss bricks

can we declare a war on bricks?

In Canada, our butter comes in 1lb 2.5"X2.5"4.5" bricks wrapped in the same sort of foil paper that chewing gum comes in

@@cameronwebster6866 Yeah, but you also have milk bags, so we take your dairy non-sense with a grain of salt. Stop trying to be special, Canada.

@@magrue Hey, milk bags are more efficient on plastic, most of the plastic is in the jug you keep and just a little in the bag which is shipped.

I eat them hole or whole. Take that as you will

@@magrue Russia, Estonia, Argentina, and a few other countries also use bagged milk.

Well it is a bad design, they could have easily accommodated both shapes, but they didn't do their homework.

You don't say "elgin", you just say butter. Butter buddy is designed for sticks of butter, not western butter lumps.

@@_PatrickO you're joking right?

@@jesses30 No. We don't invent new names for the normal stick of butter because some fat cats on the west coast couldn't buy the right equipment in the 1920s. There seems to be no reason at all that they keep packaging butter differently on the west coast. People need to get over historical tribalism and grow up. Imagine being so mentally ill, you defend a different size of butter because a rich guy cut corners literally 100 years ago.

@@jesses30 Unfortunately not. Why would you pass up the epic 'Western Stubby' in favor of 'western butter lumps'? Why, why, why?

I was wondering how far I would have to scroll before finding this comment. Good to see HAI recognizes the inherent claim that the Native Americans have to this country's butter...

@@dave200204 Considering the North Americans had no dairy production whatsoever (aside from occasional use of dog milk), maybe we could consider the butter industry as some sort of reparations. There were no real viable dairy animals in North America. Land'o'Lakes was nonsensical from the very beginning. xD

@@NozomuYume What definition of "reparations" are you using lol

HAHAHA MY SIDES XDDDD

I don’t know why Texas is included in the west on HAI’s butter map. We have long quarter-pound sticks, at least in Houston

We kinda have both here in Texas. I never understood why there was 2 different kinds, just chalked it up to brand differences

We have both here. I know Houston and East Texas are more the fans of bigger butter, while Austin and San Antonio are about equal with both types.

It wouldn't be the first time that HAI got something factually incorrect. I second the point that around Houston they aren't the shorter variety.

I've lived in the Texas Panhandle my whole life and I've never seen anything other than an Elgin

yeah the sticks have markings for cutting in the butter in the US too

same in Australia, there are a couple of different shapes but all 250g, and 50g markings.

Your comment made me actually get up and check out my butter, and no, I don't think this holds up for the entirety of Europe, here in Poland butter is actually 200g (at least the brand I have) and I've never seen any markings like that, I usually estimate where to cut if I have to

What are you talking about? I may have missed it but don't think it exist for major makes of butter in France and the UK.

Same idea, different units. Our sticks of butter are 1/4 lb (113 grams) and are divided into tablespoons - a unit of volume - because why not.

@@solusxb its something to have the seks with. As somebody who does the seks everyday, naturally I am bit of an expert on such things.

I know! I came here to shame his pronunciation. There is however a city in Texas called Elgin, that is pronounced El-ghen. Perhaps that's where he gets it from?

Thank gawd somebody else picked up on that. Sam I used to like you 😭😭😭

For real living right by Elgin I was like did he really just say it that way lmao

Well he might have thought it was pronounced like the Scottish town and the ultimate namesake of the historically difficult Elgin Marbles, which is very definitely /'ɛlgɪn/ 'el-ghin'.

THANK YOU

We have Elgin watches, too, so I wonder why the soft G pronunciation is not prominent.

Me, as I watch this in Elgin.

El-ghen.

I love that this vid is triggering the FIBs

@@adambaxter2038 can confirm

Wait, there are things _going on_ in Canada? Never thought that. EDIT: Just reading an article about it on BBC news: Buttergate :D

Don't you guys sell milk in bags?

In BC most of the butter seems to be sold in 1lb blocks. And almost none of the butter dishes you can buy on Amazon fit it. As for milk, I've never seen a bag. Just 4L plastic jugs, paper cartons, and glass bottles.

@@schwig44 At least in Ontario they do, here in Manitoba milk is sold in 4-litre jugs (and I think that applies to the rest of Western Canada as well)

Proof of this is the logo seen at 2:59 - this is the same logo that's incorporated into the cookies of an Oreo.

Yes, it's like that where I am in Canada as well. It was very confusing for my teen who was making frosting for the first time and the US recipe called for 1 stick (1/4 lb or 1/2 c) and they put in the full pound and wondered why it just tasted like slightly sweetened butter and not buttercream frosting.

Something you can be happy about.

I believe that Sam lived in Scotland for a while. Elgin in Scotland is pronounced with a hard g. That will be why he pronounced it like that. He probably didn't even think it could have a soft g.

@@davimurph It's more than just a Scottish thing - the name Elgin, which has also become a place name and a street name, etc., throughout the Commonwealth/former Empire, is _always_ pronounced with a hard "g". Except, it would seem, in Illinois (which doesn't even pronounce its own state name the way the rest of the world would, so that probably explains a lot).

@@stanrogers5613 and I'm sure the residents of Leicester, Gloucester, and Worcester don't mind AT ALL when Americans tell them that they don't know how to pronounce the names of their own hometowns, either. In the context of THIS video, it's correctly pronounced Elgin (/ˈɛldʒɪn/ EL-jin), which two seconds of research online would have cleared up. But of course I see your point...proper place-name pronunciations should come from what the REST OF THE WORLD (i.e. you) thinks it should be, not from what the ACTUAL people who live there TELL YOU it has been their entire lives. 🤨

@@frankkay6457 I kinda have a little problem with that with certain words. For instance, in my state, the small city of Buena Vista is pronounced Bue-nah Vih-stah when it’s clearly been pronounced wrong since it’s not English… It hits a nerve at times lol When its like that, locals can continue to mispronounce the words but I doubt they’ll have a right to correct a hispanic when it’s clearly two Spanish words 🤷🏻‍♀️

Now we need a video on how it became “el-jin” in Illinois. Why do we get it right in Des Moines but mess up so badly in Des Plaines?

We get a choice of the two the last three years (between SA and Houston). Thanks to this video, I now know country of origin of the new stubbies.

Yeah I live in Teaxs too and I can't remember seeing butter in western stubbies even when Iived in Nevada and California then again maybe I never paid attention.

Not sure if different parts of the state get different versions, but I've grown up and lived my life in Houston and have only ever seen the long sticks. Might be different in the other large cities in the state.

@@rictusnithor5602 I once encountered the western stubbies in Houston, but it was some brand I never heard of before, apparently from the west. But all major brands in Houston are eastern Elgin sticks.

👏😋 very gud lol

Yo this Slaps I need a beat for thid

That's even better if you say it in a British accent

I thought it was betty bought butter but the butter was bitter so betty bought better butter to make the bitter butter better

yes

Most of HAI's jokes are obvious, surface-level quips, so it's nice to see he's evolving.

Lol

It really did hit different, huh

Especially after that one segment from the brick video.

4:19 is worse

I live in Houston where I have only seen that style. I wonder if El Paso has different

Yes, but this video was butter than most.

Careful, don't wanna spread yourself too thin

I'm pretty sure he (and other youtubers) purposefully mispronounce words to get people to comment on them. Just an easy way to get more engagement.

Between this and that time he said that Willard airport is in “Willard, Illinois” they’ve done Illinois towns dirty at least twice now!

Only regionally, and not by the people it was named after (unless later generations locally changed the pronunciation). Everywhere else, it's pronounced with a soft g.

In Canada they pronounce the g like good. There's an Elgin near me pronounced like gin and it threw me off when I heard the Canadian version

@@thatonedog819 Also in Canada most regular butter comes in full-size bricks. Butter wrapped as separate quarter-packs in the box is more expensive.

Good point!

ah, i miss chicago :( i grew up in like the algonquin/crystal lake area so i was only 20 mins from elgin. i miss being near the big city

I was gonna comment the same thing. Guess you gotta be from the are to know that

If it's a placename from the French, that does make sense.

As an Illinoisan, even though this state sucks, that does in fact grind my gears

See you in the correction video.

I am also deeply offended. Sam better apologize in an end-of-year corrections video.

I live in Elgin County in Ontario, and we pronounce the hard G.

In Texas it’s El-ghen so perhaps Sam comes from a state where Elgin is pronounced that way

well the entire border is in the western zone, so that’s very well possible

@@sc9160 it really depends on the brand I live in California and see the longer sticks more often but I’d definitely seen a lot of the shorter sticks as well

@@sc9160 I live in Oregon and while I'm not totally sure, I think we always get the longer sticks too. I don't ever remember getting butter sticks that looked as short and stubby as the ones shown here.
