    So after some googling, apparently this is a VERY widespread practice spanning multiple brands, multiple manufacturers, all around the US; but I can’t seem to find any explanation. It can’t just be industry-wide madness, right? …Right?

      1. accidentally buy wrong butter because of mis-labelling
      2. get home and realise you got wrong butter, go buy another butter, one you actually wanted
      3. ??? (not really)
      4. profit

      It’s always profit.

    I shop at HEB, and buy both salted and unsalted butter for their specific uses. I can confirm that I’ve used the wrong butter multiple times because of this, and I always curse them for it. That said I still love HEB
