I get very confused when I am baking. A recipe will call for a half-stick and I am pretty sure I have just used the whole stick of the shorter butter for like 4 years since we moved here. Have I been doubling the butter?? I never noticed that the sticks here were also fatter. Hmmmm.... Okay, so are you saying 1 stick of the long-skinny butter = 1 stick of the shorter butter?

An actual measurement like a tablespoon - was totally lost on me! well… let’s just say that 10 years ago a grilled cheese sandwich (made by toasting the bread, then melting cheese on it in the microwave) was the height of my culinary skills.

I'm not sure how you could have mistaken them for shorter sticks of butter, especially with the obvious tablespoon markings on the side of every single stick of butter.
