[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you like margarine or other butter substitutes, you'll like this spread! If you're accustomed to real butter and you don't want a margarine that tastes like margarine, be warned - you'll have a hard time finding it, and you won't find it here. However, I thought this was a fine-tasting butter substitute. I used it with mashed potatoes and dinner rolls.

Apart from it being a contradiction in terms, this new "original" Country Crock tastes nothing like the original. It is not an improvement. It is, quite frankly, more than disappointing it is practically inedible - such a shame - used to love the "original" Original. Time say goodbye to an old friend - time to switch brands I'm afraid.

The new simpler recipe spread is awful. We have bought only Country Crock original spread for years. Thought it was just a new container as it states 'original'. Not sure what about it is 'original' as it is obviously not the same recipe. Small print in the corner saying new simpler recipe and also in large print on the front stating original leads consumers astray. We only bought the new recipe once and are now finding another spread to use. No one we know who has tried it likes it or plans to continue buying it. cc

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I grew up on Country Crock. My mom used it on almost everything and now I do the same. It is very affordable and works great with my budget. I love it on toast with honey and tea. My kids like it on their waffles with syrup.

I used this instead of butter when making rice a roni one night for dinner. I'm not one for making sweets, so I try to incorporate it into other aspects of cooking. It didn't taste as good as I was hoping, or as using my regular butter. It got the job done and did what it was supposed to. My rice still tasted good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best butter on the market. It spreads easy on bread and melts fast on anything you use it. It has a great taste and comes in different size and varities. I got this free to try for the review from influenster.

I'm not gonna ask why you had to go change the recipe, cause I know what your response will be. If you are listening to your customers then bring back the old recipe. I have been a long time customer and used your margarine for all my baking and cooking needs. Now I can't it taste horrible and ruins my food I cook. #bring back our margarine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a child I have always loved country crock so I didn’t need a free sample to convince me to buy this product! It was definitely a plus however! I always and will always buy this product! It has a soft smooth texture leaving every bite delicious and full of flavor! If you haven’t given a try you should!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family has used Country Crock Original for years on toast, bagels, English muffins and mashed potatoes. This is my first time using it for baking. I received this complimentary tub for review with my unbiased opinion. I really loved the results. I used 2 mix-ins (dark french chocolate and walnuts) with the suggested cookie recipe and they came out very light and not dry. They were a hit at Easter and gone within a couple days. I will use it more in my baking.

I like to use this when I’m making mac and cheese or as a non-stick foundation to my cooking pan. I knock it a star because it’s not a healthy option. However, it does have a good taste. The large tub will certainly last a long time. We use it as a family of three, and it lasts us months.
