Yes, I remember that time. Here in Sweden we had a butter-shortage too, and for weeks on end all the headlines were "SWEDES ARE OUTRAGEOUS TO FIND DANISH BUTTER IN STORES, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH OUR COWS?"" But in all fairness, Sweden had a "O'boy-crisis" just recently. It's like Nesquik powder, you mix it with milk. The factory had a shutdown and was waiting for repairs and new parts, production was completely haltered. It was in the headlines, on tv news, mum's where angry and wrote to the company demanding they fix it because their kids NEEDED their chocolaty drink. Rumors where spread online where you could find bags in stores still, and people on Facebook sold bags for 10 times more the original price, even opened ones. And as with the norweigans, swedes could not find themselves buying other brands, like Lidl or some dark organic powder. It went so far there was even a psa on a morning news show on how you could mix your own O'boy-powder.

@SteinGauslaaStrindhaug 5 жыл бұрын

The problem was as you said caused by a poor milk harvest, but also by poor central planning of agricultural production (agriculture in Norway is really far from free market capitalism) including continuing to export butter even though there was a shortage growing. But it was worsened by a surprising high consumption of butter caused by the "low carb" fad at the time. But the main reason people were genuinely worried and willing to pay for expensive and even smuggled butter was that quite a few of the traditional Norwegian Christmas kakes/pastries require butter not only for the flavor but to "work" properly chemically. We had plenty of margarine but it would not work as a substitute when baking. But really the "panic" or "crisis" were mostly the media hyping up the story, mostly humorously and to make the issue more embarrassing for the politicians and bureaucracy that should have been able to see the problem a lot earlier. The "crisis" was more or less resolved by the tariffs being lowered by 80% allowing more import.

@silver5515 3 жыл бұрын

Ah, the sweet old times when the only worry we had was lack of butter in December. The crisis was supposedly also worsened by hoarding, this was before the age of "price wars" when shops learned to limit items. I remember images of people buying like 10 kgs of butter at once. The imported butter was also controversial, as it did not behave properly taste properly. Also, as there was about one type of real butter in stores at that time, nothing else could possibly be real butter. My family was not touched by the crisis, as most of my mothers cookie recipies rely on margarine. It does actually make a difference.

Back in the 60's the state of Wisconsin (known for its dairy cows and cheese) banned yellow margarine. The law was only repealed after a state senator did a blind taste test and ended up picking the margarine. I was reminded of this because of the butter smuggling, because margarine smuggling was an actual thing that happened here.

@blindleader42 5 жыл бұрын

I remember at least one trip (late fifties) the family took out of state in which the trunk of the car had a case of margarine on the return. That was a time when it was thought that margarine was somehow more healthful than butter. Medicine is not science, it's applied science. When they don't have the science, sometimes they apply it anyway. Actually I suspect that the reason the law isn't in effect anymore is that it's unconstitutional. States don't have the right to regulate interstate trade.

When my dad was young in the 1940s southern Finnish countryside, "slice up some butter like cheese and put it on bread" definitely was the staple food, in addition to potatoes. According to him, their family of five went through 30 kg of butter per month. When I was a kid in the 1980s, my grandmother used to give me some rye bread "med mycke' smör på", meaning a thick slice of bread with a thick slab of butter on top, and I loved it. (My grandparents were Swedish-speaking Finns, which explains the Swedish phrase.)

Spot on. Ironically vaping diacetyl (the buttery flavour) didn't cause any problems because the highest recorded amount was still hundred of times less than in cigarettes. Scared a lot of people when the press got hold of it, though, so became a useful way to keep people smoking.

Aren't there some (all?) varieties of vape which lead to Popcorn Lung if you overdo it? I mean, probably in quite gross amounts, and it's not quite as bad as lung cancer or COPD, but still... edit: maybe that's what the diacetyl stuff did, in fact. The term actually comes from a condition that popcorn factory workers developed, maybe they were using artificial butter flavour on that instead of actual butter, so it's more a matter of the chemical itself than the fact of breathing overly humid (or greasy) air?

@al35mm 5 жыл бұрын

@@gwenynorisu6883 There are all sorts of reports and so-called studies published by the press telling of the health risks of vaping. There was another one just recently. The studies are probably funded by the tobacco industry because a lot of credible, independent studies have found no serious harm from vaping and show it to be a lot healthier than smoking. If I remember rightly, popcorn lung was completely fabricated by one such press article. Unfortunately, when you mix industry with science you rarely get to the truth. I think, however, that sucking anything into your lungs that is not clean air may have some amount of impact on your health.

I'm from Iowa, and I can attest to the fact that they carved EVERYTHING out of butter. There would be an entire refrigerated barn dedicated to them every year.

@loganstrong5426 5 жыл бұрын

I was born in Des Moines Iowa, and I've been to several Iowa State Fairs. The butter sculptures are actually a competition, so there's a whole tent filled with butter sculptures every year, at the center of which is the butter cow. I've seen the Harry Potter, barns, all sorts of stuff.

I’ve been watching Tom Scott for a while now and only recently discovered this series and I’m absolutely astounded that this hasn’t been picked up by channel 4. This is on par and sometimes even passing the level of production and comedy that’s on 9 out of 10 cats or QI. I mean the staff and production template is there so why wouldn’t they pick this up? I’m watching from NI and literally slapping my knee at the jokes!

@MeiinUK Жыл бұрын

The only reason why C4 won't be picking this up, is possibly because their viewers would literally be working in this sector alone.. and then they already know the issue, and is trying to find ways to stop it from being an issue. So when one goes home.. should they still watch this any way? And not to watch something more entertaining? If you worked in the food sector, then you would know and know exactly the prices and what is happening to the supply-chains.... but this is quite a good video nevertheless. And in all honesty, if you want to broadcast this, then don't you need to do something with the infrastructures? Which it is doing.. or going down that road.. Having Huawei's masks in your local community farm... and then forget that the rest of the country is going down the pan, is like a GOOD move. Sorry, but not sorry.

Vaper here chiming in on Diacetyl, it was a big to-do over nothing really, in the 90s some workers in a popcorn factory inhaling dust had popcorn lung, and the diacetyl was blamed. Cigarettes have much more diacetyl in them than even the butteriest e-liquids, and no instances of popcorn lung have been reported from either smoking or vaping. I mix my own liquids and use flavourings with diacetyl and I'm fine, I hope.
