Fish margarine
Incidentally, has any of you well-travelled individuals ever encountered any such as thing as fish margarine or fish butter? No, it's not fish paste, it's supposed to be margarine made of fish oil, which I think it should 'be good for you' and should be found in Scandinavia? I looked for it in Germany and the Netherlands but nix there...
By the way I think the original margarine in Canada was made of fish and whale oil:

If you think about it, low fat spreads typically contain 40% water. The whole point of butter or margarine is to lubricate the eating of bread. 40% water means you need to double up on the amount of spread to have the same affect.
The chemistry involved in binding water to oil will carry on inside your body and blood, thus clogging your arteries. It is doubly bad for the body but is great for the supermarket profits in selling you water.

Butter does not need to be kept cold BTW. It lasts for quite a few days at room temperature, especially away from air and light. Even if you keep it out long enough for it to "go off", that is merely becoming rancid, which may spoil its taste for you but is not harmful (unlike say meat "going off" which is likely to be the growth of food-poisoning bacteria).

For those that asked, Голубой - might have spelt it wrong is Russian for 'blue', actually light blue since in Russian there are two different colours with different meanings, light blue and dark blue - galuboy and seniy, to the Reds they are both two different Blues...
But, since the fall of the SU and before, the back ticklers came out and mainly hung around the Sankt Peterburg Light Blue Metro line for some bum fun, probably all dead of AIDS now, or in Russian, SPID. As Zemfira once sang to great shock...
'U tebya SPID (u have AIDS)
I znachit my umrem...'
'You have AIDS
I know we (will) die'...
Zemfira is a Goddess.....
