It’s the G1, the first Android phone. Same screen size (3.5”) as the original iPhone I think?

For real. Every time I have to use a non-Swype keyboard, it's always "yes, those were the five keys I meant to hit, thanks." Even on big phones (Pixel 3XL).

I didn't switch to a touchscreen keyboard until Swype was a thing.

That is not unique to America. Only we have the measurements in grams instead of hogsheads.

My brit friend is visiting (well, stuck here now that the planes aren't working) and she was amazed that butter comes in sticks with measurements on them and thought it was very clever :colbert:

the fancy Challenge Butter with the volume guide offset by nearly half a tablespoon while my generic $2.50 Moovelous brand is always lined up, smgdh

did not know that sticks aren't prevalent out west and blocks aren't prevalent out east, huh

I like to keep both kinds, because it is convenient and for some reason very funny to me to have a big ol 1-1.5lb hunk of butter in the fridge, since most of the time I'm not measuring it really

I wish it were easier to find Elgin sticks where I live, because those fat ones suck to work with (especially cold). It's one of the very few things I miss about the midwest.

Holy poo poo, lifelong left coast (well, Arizona and the coast) and I had no idea butter came in different forms. I kinda prefer the longer form factor tho ngl. Now I'll see butter as chodes.

Having grown up with the giant blocks of butter, when the store started selling the Eastern style sticks with the measurements on the wrapper it blew my mind.

It's still niche here, a box of 4 sticks among the wall of giant bricks.

My take is the west coast butter blocks are designed that way to get you to use more. Slicing off a thin pat is harder on the giant blocks, but on the long slim east coast sticks it's easier to get a small amount.

I too was an east coast transplant to CA and lamented trying to fit the big blocks in my old dish - it would just smoosh and get everywhere when i put on the lid.

omg i was wondering what was up with that. i thought they replaced all the sticks with stubby blocks or whatever without me noticing bc i had been buying kerrygold for a few months straight after i moved out here, but its just a regional thing
