There's a food product in the UK called "I can't believe it's not butter". Apart from a hugely crap name, I sort of wonder why anybody in their right mind would want a butter substitute that pretended to be butter.

,Preservative: Potassium Sorbate ,Citric Acid ,Flavouring ,Vitamin E
,Colour: Beta-Carotene ,Vitamins A & D.
