A stick of butter which was only half-eaten, and so there is half remaining.
If "stick of butter" is the part which is confusing, it might be helpful to know that calling it a stick suggests this individual may reside in the eastern United States.
In the Eastern states, butter typically comes in thin stick-shaped bars, in comparison to the fatter bars in the Western states (and most of the rest of the world)
it's also often in tubs in most of the world
not so mich in in Australia, the stuff in tubs here is synthetic butter aka margarine, or a butter oil frankenstien mix to make it more easiky "spreadable."
oh uh well then idk
as a vegan the butter i use is "fake" butter (although i can't believe that), maybe the "real" animal butter is not in tubs that often
yes, that clears up one part, but who in the world eats a stick of pure butter..
The small child in the story who tried it, discovered that eating pure butter is actually terrible, and abandoned it in her mother's bedcovers.
that makes perfect sense actually. I think i was confused by the aparent (to me) focus on finding it in the bed, instead of on the "stick of butter" and "half eaten" part. :)
My sister did when she was 3. Especially when she couldn't find worms.
😂
I used to when I was a kid. Tasted good
