A recipe calls for “butter”, they mean…

Salted Butter

Unsalted Butter

Okay, the results are in. Unsalted Butter took the survey with 60% of the vote. I realize, however, based on the tags and comments that this post received I think I need to adjust the phrasing of the question. By using “they mean”, I think I begged the answer that I got.

You have been sent to the store with a shopping list, which includes “butter”. There is no way to reach out to the person who made the list, and you may not leave the store without “butter”. Which one are you buying?

In the episode there was a holiday where debris fell from the sky and everyone stopped to strap absurd art-piece protections to themselves to celebrate.

This show was incredible. They thought up a disaster (what if dangerous debris rained down on the city) and answered with ‘yeah … but once a year, and they’ll celebrate it with silly hats!’

We wouldn’t be broken up about it, just excited for a day off and an excuse for a party.
