In Victorian times, gentlemen going to war or traveling would leave behind mementos for their ladies in the form of carved ivory weenies modeled after their own appendages, sometimes engraved with the phrase “forget me not.”

I don't recommend giving these as Christmas presents.

TIL that butter can come in different sizes depending on whether its "east coast" or "west coast" in origin.



What’s the Difference Between East Coast Butter and West Coast Butter?
https://www.foodnetwork.com/how-to/pack ... ast-butter

To shed more light on the matter, we consulted Lisa Totah, the Marketing Director at Challenge Dairy Products, Inc., which produces both East Coat and West Coast butters.

East Coast and West Coast butter are produced in the same way and weigh the same, but the butter is cut into shapes by different machines. East Coast butter typically comes in long sticks, while West Coast butter comes in shorter, fatter blocks.

“East Coast butter sticks are 4.8 inches long and 1.3 inches wide. They are typically sold stacked two-by-two in elongated cube-shaped boxes,” Totah explains. “West Coast butter sticks are 3.125 inches long and 1.5 inches wide and are typically sold stacked two-by-two in a rectangle carton.”

To understand why East Coast and West Coast butter sticks come in different sizes, we’ll need a quick history lesson. “The machines used to first process and pack butter were purchased in the 1920’s and 1930’s. At that time, the East Coast dominated dairy production. While the West Coast had butter cooperatives, the industry wasn’t at the caliber it is today,” Totah explains. “They began ramping up production in the 1960s and by 1975, California was the second leading dairy production in the country. By that time, the original Elgin machines used for processing and packing the longer, skinnier sticks of butter were no longer available. They instead purchased new machinery that cut the sticks into shorter, fatter sticks.”

East Coast butter sticks are called Elgins after the equipment used by the Elgin Butter Tub Company for processing and packaging butter. West Coast butter sticks are called Western Stubbies because of their shorter, fatter shape. Totah notes that West Coast butter sticks are commonly called Westerns.
