Why the hell did my butter turn pink???

[LostinVA]

Does anybody know -- it's really bothering me.

It was just regular butter opened on Xmas Eve.

[texas1928]

1. It's quitting you.

[YDogg]

2. I've never heard it called "my butter."

;-)

[LostinVA]

10. LeftyMom knows what I usually call it

[LeftyMom]

3. A witch gave you the evil eye.

These things happen in GD:P. :shrug:

[Guava Jelly]

4. Your butter turned gay

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

7. OMG -- we CAN turn things gay!!!!!!

[Guava Jelly]

9. Yep

The sour cream is next ;)

[trof]

5. Proximity to the beets.

Happens every time.
:-)

[LostinVA]

8. Ick -- we live in a Beet Free Zone

[SPKrazy]

6. code pink?

no idea

redrum redrum redrum

maybe it's a message?

[Greyskye]

11. You've embarrassed it.

Stop buttering your toast while naked. :evilgrin:

[porphyrian]

12. It didn't, it turned green. Your eyes are damaged. -n/t

[KitchenWitch]

13. You gave it "The Gay"

:D

[Taverner]

14. The butter gods are angry

Quick - go make a batch of cookies (with a different stick of butter) and eat them. That should appease the butter gods.

[texanwitch]

15. Just because it wanted to.

Maybe the butter wants to make a fashion statement.

[Gormy Cuss]

16. Your wife is messing with your head.

Wait until you use that butter on the kelly green baguette.
:D

[LostinVA]

19. Your subject line is so pevvy

[Gormy Cuss]

23. I know.

;-)

[skygazer]

17. It's toying with Communism?

:shrug:

[LaurenG]

18. Does it taste OK?

I know that there is mold that grows around here that is pink but I can't imagine that being it.

[LostinVA]

20. I DIDN'T TASTE IT!!!!

The butter is fucking PINK,man... would YOU eat it?

[LaurenG]

22. LOL no I am lactose intolerant to the max for starters

but I would not taste it. My imagination has already told me it's blood or something worse.

:rofl:

[LanternWaste]

46. Hey, as long as it's not fuzzy, I say give it a shot.

"The butter is fucking PINK,man... would YOU eat it?"

Hey-- as long as butter's not fuzzy, I say give it a try. :evilgrin:




Like John Cleese once said-- "once a philosopher, twice a pervert...".

[LostinVA]

21. I'm serious guys -- why the hell is my butter PINK???

I Googled it and came up with zip.

[nadine_mn]

26. Oxidized?

My guess is either if its been opened and left in the fridge, bacteria got to it or it has oxidized


just a guess

[bettyellen]

27. um... was it near anything red? maybe some molecules jumped off the red thing

and leapt on your butter!
why don't you lick it?
i bet it tastes like hawaiian punch.
:loveya:

[LostinVA]

28. It was kept all by it's lonesome in the little butter compartment

:loveya:

I'm going to email the Stop & Shop and demand answers, damn it!

[bettyellen]

48. well then.... as my nephew would say "that's gwoss!"

:thumbsdown:


:hi:

[Pacifist Patriot]

42. I Googled and got 2 hits.

Of course they were both to this thread.

[LostinVA]

43. That's not helpful

:rofl:

[Pacifist Patriot]

45. Okay fine. I emailed hubby who is extremely knowledgable about food.

I'll let you know if and when he answers. Of course, if you've seen from my rant on the board I'm a bit miffed with him right now and he probably knows it. He may be too afraid to answer. Then again, he might be too afraid to not answer. This may work in your favor. He may be inspired to research.

[PVnRT]

24. Does it speak?

My wife is from Wisconsin, she says there's probably something growing in it, and her dad works at a butter factory, and Wisconsin has lots of cows, so she knows the 4-1-1.

[Dr. Strange]

25. It's because of all the popcorn!

[AngryAmish]

29. It's a mixed butter, found in the woods

[LostinVA]

30. OMFG! My butter is related to Oscar?

:cry:

[RebelOne]

47. Since when does butter grow in the woods?

If I'm not mistaken, it comes from milk that comes from a cow.

[flvegan]

31. "Democracy" does that to solidified oil.

[LostinVA]

37. It does that to other things, too

[Dora]

32. Mmmmmmmmold?

:shrug:

[Gormy Cuss]

38. There is a pinkish mold that forms on some dairy products.

Haven't seen it on butter but I have seen it on sour cream and yogurt.

[LostinVA]

39. I guess that's what happened -- it wasn't fuzzy or hairy, though

Just pink.

And it's new fucking butter.

[Dangerously Amused]

54. Fucking Butter. There's your problem right there.

It probably caught a yeast infection from the bread.

[greblc]

33. Cats lick the butter.

[Sanity Claws]

34. Is it like a dot? How large is the pink area?

Is it hairy? (Mold can look hairy or furry.)

[mentalsolstice]

35. Teh Clenis, he turned it pink. nm

[LostinVA]

40. It's powers are mighty

[Hand]

36. Insh'Allah. nt

[Pacifist Patriot]

41. I sneezed on it.

It's really bloody snot.

[LostinVA]

44. Awww -- thanks, Rev

You're the best. Bloody snot is my favorite kind!

[ChoralScholar]

49. I'm going to say 'Breast Cancer Awareness'

You have bought very social conscious food. Cherish it.

[Kucinich4America]

50. Does this have anything to do with the gay cheese thread?

I blame the Dairy Fairy.....

[VOX]

51. You just can't wash butter with a red t-shirt.

Goes pink every time.

Seriously, you've got me stumped! :shrug:

[LostinVA]

52. UPDATE: We purchased new butter

It's European-style, purchased at TJ's for only $3.49/lb.

An absolute steal.

I had to fight off a lesbian with a stick to get to it. The place was crawling with them.

[Left Is Write]

53. A lesbian with a stick....of butter?

:P

[LostinVA]

56. Don't worry -- it's "European-style"

Good to see you.

[krispos42]

55. Did you rub it on a certain Lounger's buttocks?

I've heard that this problem with pink-ass was going around...
