I just realized that a sphere of butter would take the longest to melt of any shape (assuming the same volume and density) as a sphere has the smallest surface area to volume ratio.
But this wouldn't apply if you're melting butter in a microwave.
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You guys! My dad just called to say Lucy was sitting by him at his computer and just got up and went to hang out by the front door.

It'd be cool if butter came in some weird platonic solid, like a dodecahedron. Or maybe as a sphere or cone....
I think you get spherical butter from spherical cows, but really it's all theoretical.

Woot! Go, Lucy!
BTW, maybe you should get her a t-shirt that says, "Tripods are Awesome!!" or "Tripod Pride"....

Or maybe Lucy should have a shirt that says, "I may be a tripod, but I can kick a spherical cow's ass.*"
"*Assuming its ass is facing up."

Does butter not come in sticks where you are?
It comes in a lot of sizes of packs. The most popular ones, besides the "ready for spreading" butter, are 250gr and 500gr packs.
And yay Lucy!!!
