Butter spread Vs. Fat spread

I was shopping around with a friend to get some things for a BBQ session. So, we headed down to Mydin to get the meat, marinade sauce and butter. When we came to the dairies section, I spotted to different type of butter, Farm Cows and Butter Cup. So since Farm Cows was cheaper, I took it. When we went for the BBQ, that fat spread became the entertainment of the century. Apparently, I didn't read the packaging of the Farm Cows butter properly. It said: FAT SPREAD instead of LUXURY SPREAD (as in Butter Cup).


FAT SPREAD? Why would you sell fat?


Now, this looks like normal butter.

pls read in the food act...in fact every one should call them self FAT SPREAD and not BUTTER....FYI, no butter is produce in M'sia due to the weather condition. As such, all PURE BUTTERs are imported from oversea.
Do u know that both BUTTERCUP and Famcows are not a "BUTTER"? they're mixture of palm oil and AMF? Soooo.....they are just Fat Spread. Buttercup using the name "Buttercup" coz it's just happen is a flower name and they shouldn't be called LUXURY BUTTER as they are against the Food Regulations....
