  Your sticks of butter don't have these markings on the wrapper? https://www.dreamstime.com/stick-butter-measurement-markings-stick-butter-tablespoon-cup-markings-horizontal-image193633272 https://www.dreamstime.com/stick-butter-measurement-markings...

    Kiwi here, nope. We do have a grams marking on some brands' blocks of butter. But it's far simpler looking, it's just a "cut here for 50g, 100g..." series of lines.

    Brit here: no markings on block butter wrappers at all..

      I'm English, and we certainly do have markings on packs of butter - but it's dependent on the manufacturer, some do, some don't.

        Agreed, but they're usually grams at 50g increments, not volumetric. Country Life for example.

    "Sticks" of butter are something a Canadian only sees when they travel to the USA or watches American television. Butter is just not obtainable that way here.

      Poor bastards. Sticks are a step up from the blocks in Canada.

      I'm in Toronto, and I get butter all the time that is four "sticks" but it's sold all as one unit. You just cut it into quarters. Also the wrapper has measurements on it.
