Honestly, this is the first food review I've ever done so I apologize if it's long. I grew up with Country Crock, tried other brands as I'd gotten older, but none other seemed to compliment food quite like this butter. Just today I went grocery shopping and noticed the container was changed, fine by me. Grabbed the "original" recipe and went about my shopping. I have a 3 yr old son who recently became an extremely picky eater, and one staple I can depend on is toast with butter. He took one bite and told me "No. Mommy, I do not like this." At first I thought, "Oh god, here we go again". Exasperated, I tried a bite and was about to tell him it was fine when I realized he was right. The toast was extremely soggy and had a metallic taste. Looked at the container which stated "Simple New Recipe." Well, that solved that. I'll keep an eye out for the old recipe at other grocery stores, but after 29 years, time to find a new brand.

I recieved this product in the mail for free from Influenster. And it is delicious, I love butter on my toast in the mornings, as well as adding it to veggies to give that extra bit of flavor. I love that this product has smaller packaging so it isn't so bulky in my fridge. I also love that is a very affordable product!! Definitely recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the original country crock spread. The package is good and compact to save space in the fridge and the taste is classics. I love that it's gluten free and that it has no artificial preserves but still has a great taste! I use it on everything! I would recommend this product for sure!

I received (or will receive) compensation/free product for my unbiased review. It goes great on everything and so much easier than using stick butter because this is already soft and ready to use! Also, really love the taste, it's not too salty and not too under salted either!

Country Crock is not butter but the taste is as close as you can get. We always use it in mashed potatoes because of its real buttery taste. The consistency make it easy to spread. I even love the container because it is so sturdy I can use it as a freezer container when it's empty.

I believe that this spread is very delicious and I always have a container of the Country Crock Original Spread in our refrigerator! Very easy to spread this butter as it is never too hard or thick. I love how much product you get for the price you pay. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had gotten away from using margarine for a while and I forgot how much I miss how spreadable it is right out of the refrigerator. It doesn't tear my bread and I don't have to put it in the microwave to be able to use it. I like the taste of Country Crock and it is so easy to use. The only thing I didn't care for was how oily it was when I used it to cook eggs. I do believe that I probably used too much because I'm used to cooking with other products. That really isn't a big deal because I can use less and /or use something else for my eggs. I have went back to using margarine because of trying Country Crock again. If you use margarine or are considering it, Country Crock is the way to go.

We have used country crock original for many years. Sorry to say we will not be using it any more. Your new "simple recipe" original is way off base, flavor wise. I think this is a bad move. Why mess with something that worked. You lost another customer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this product free from Influenster for trying and I love this product I have added some of the spread to my dinner meal, so my beef molten to my mouth and I will definitely use the rest in thanksgiving day.

I'm not even going to mention the taste or smell when cooking with the "new recipe"; but it definately does not like heat. As a matter of fact it goes through some kind of chemical change; as it heats it goops up in the pan, becomes a glob of sticky stringy stuff that sticks to the food. You can't cook eggs with this; and to drizzle over vegi's -- forget it. The goop can't possibly be healthy to consume. I'm certainly not going to give it to my loved ones. I've switched to another brand.
