Has it? There are people who use it for ethical or cost saving reasons, but I've never seen anyone say that they actually prefer the taste over butter.
- dools 2y ago1kg of margarine per person globally. I'd say it's pretty popular. https://www.statista.com/outlook/cmo/food/oils-fats/margarine/worldwide https://www.statista.com/outlook/cmo/food/oils-fats/margarin...

- fullspectrumdev 2y agoIt was oddly popular where I lived during the 1990’s/2000’s for a while - largely due to a lot of marketing pushing it as healthier than butter. I’m not sure exactly when that “turned back around”, but I think it was the 2010’s - now butter is the default and margarine is seen as rubbish.
- hombre_fatal 2y agoMargarine doesn’t have trans fats anymore but people, even in these comments in 2024, are still catching up with that fact. As they do, it’s becoming popular again among the health conscious market. Should have probably invented a new product name for it though, but modern margarine uses different processes than partial hydrogenation.
