I know; there's more truth to this than humor.

1. Historically accurate

2. You know, you're right. n/t

3. About time.

My artist husband heard/read about the Native girl that used to be on the box was a clever, cut-out optical trick. He trimmed the box and folded it in two places and suddenly the girl was cupping her bare breasts. I'm not surprised they realized that joke was over.

6. I immediately started trying to figure out how this worked.

Because...I don't know...it sounded so wild that I guess I just wanted to see for myself? Anyway, after staring at a picture of a Land O Lakes butter box and being totally stumped, it suddenly occurred to me that somebody might have made a video. (Duh)

Turns out that multiple somebodies have made videos, and there is even more one version of how to make the naughty image appear. I looked at a few, and I definitely get it now! Here's the one that I found to be the most helpful and easiest to follow:

I don't know whether I'm more disturbed that this exists or that multiple people actually discovered it on their own. But now that I know about it, I'm really, REALLY glad they made this change!

7. A really juvenile waste of time. nt

8. My Mother showed me this years ago.

She was just a bawdy Italian lady.

12. Never seen anyone make the cutout to flip up,

that did give me a laugh. I'd heard about just folding it over 20 years ago.

4. Sad, but true.

5. I am glad they took the Native American off the label?

Butter was not a part of the traditional Native American diet.
According to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, some 30 million to 50 million Americans are lactose intolerant, including up to 75 percent of African Americans and American Indians and 90 percent of Asian Americans.

9. I see no humor in it at all.

Only sorrow.

10. I don't know about the butter thing

but the title is a very factual statement: "They literally removed the Indian and kept the land".

[FoxNewsSucks]

13. I thought that was supposed to be the point,

but apparently being offended by a juvenile trick is more important.

"They literally removed the Indian and kept the land" sums up American history.
