Yes, did you use google with Site: to find that ? It's not in their current product list.
However, YOU are missing the point that you CAN'T BUY "Softer" anymore, (unless you are Irish) so the semantics are moot. Have a look at the other posts.... it's been confirmed.
Me for Loseley.
NO ! YOU are missing the point ............the OP said:Kerrygold spreadable butter in tub now has olive oil in it - gross!
Before on the tub it proudly stated contains no added vegetable oil
"Spreadable butter" does NOT NOW have olive oil in it - IT ALWAYS DID.
The OP originally bought (I think) "softer" butter which contains NO additives.
Th original claim was therefore NOT correct - they may well have withdrawn the original product, but that is not what was said ............
Had the OP complained that her original product was no longer available - fair enough ! The complaint was that it had now been "adulterated" with olive oil - it had NOT.........0 -
Why not get ordinary butter and keep some in a butter dish at room temperature and it will be softer anyway?
Well, yes I could do this. But I like my butter cold, I don't like it running off the dish like it would be in this weather. So it's either keep it in the fridge which means I can't spread it, or keep it out and risk it turning all oily.Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures0 -
Moonrakerz, I am sorry but you really are just arguing the point for the sake of it - I certainly called this product 'spreadable butter' because that is what it was - butter spreadable straight from the fridge. Whether this was actually what it should be called is a moot point, the point is that it is not now possible to buy softer aka spreadable butter made by Kerrygold - they now only sell a spread with oils.Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures0

As someone extremely knowledgeable with words, I assume you know what a pedant is?
Just what does all this pedantry have to do with the substantive point, that Kerrygold has withdrawn its softer butter in favour of the adulterated, spreadable alternative?
Please try and shift your focus from the wording to the substance of the complaint.
The "softer butter" is NO LONGER AVAILABLE the only thing that British (not Irish) consumers can buy is CRAP!

Moonrakers,
As a newbie, I have to ask... out of your 8022 posts, how many of these were arguing trifling, nit-picking points of semantics?
Since you know so much about the difference in butter/spread/etc., I would assume you actually LIKE the taste of butter.
How about letting the big bad world know how you feel about what Kerrygold has done here?
Oh and by the way, about "missing the point". The difference is, I was referring to "the important point" i.e. the point of substance. You were referring to the point that you kept dragging up, the difference between "soft" and "spreadable", i.e. the unimportant point.
If a new product is introduced into the market in an entirely sneaky fashion, (ie, stick the word "new" on it and hope that no one notices), AND it looks near identical to the previous, withdrawn product, it is reasonable, prima facie, to assume that the original product had been changed.
If you get a big kick out of pointing out that "no, they have withdrawn one and replaced it with another that looks just like it, but oh by the way, didn't you read the word change, you silly goose?" , well, that makes you just one up from a troll in my book.0 -
i dont see anything wrong with it, buy an alternative then
It's a shame they don't have a "no thanks, go forth and multiply" button, because you HAVEN'T helped in any way.
Could you please butt out if you don't wish to be considered a troll? Your contribution is trite, banal, ill thought and superfluous.
We're talking about butter here, man! Important stuff!0 -
