We found a different brand that tastes exactly like the old version of country crock. I am not allowed to name the brand, but it is a store brand and has "51% vegetable oil" on the label. We also hate the new formula for country crock and threw ours in the garbage. We tried several name brands and none of them were any good. Then I got the idea to try store brands with 51% vegetable oil because someone must be smart enough to stick with the old, actually original (not fake original) formula. And we found it...thankfully.

Feel like I was misled when I purchased the product with new packaging and it said "Original". My family won't eat it. There's a distinct taste difference. I appreciate a healthier recipe, but if my family won't eat it it doesn't matter. If the product does not go back to the original packaging and original recipe, I'll have to change brands.

My wife and I have used original recipe for 20+ years and this has got to be the worst change of all. This isn't like changing a salt or soda. This changes literally everything we eat! Now since the spreads have all changed we are forced to find an alternative. Even something as simple as morning toast has a nasty aftertaste. Not to even mention trying to use it in recipe's or cook dinner with. Bad move Unilever. If it's not broke, don't fix it!

This new simple recipe is disgusting! Even when cooked into food it tastes like chemicals! BAD decision to make that switch, especially taking the old stuff off the market! My family is extremely unhappy!! I would score 0 stars if I could! I have tried ALL of the new kinds and threw them all away!

I type this with a heavy heart. The disappointment along with the suffering my taste buds have endured from the new recipe cannot be put into words. Please create a classic version of country crock and you can continue to sell this new version, like in the 80s with new Coke and Coke classic. I have also struggled to explain to my children how the container says original yet it is a new recipe...please let me know what I should tell them because I am at a loss for words. True leaders not only hear the people they also take action. if you lead we will follow. I will continue to spread the word about this change because there has to be a butter way.

I will usually buy generic versions of most foods to save money. However, one item I always buy in the name brand is Country Crock. No other product compares flavor-wise. Until now, that is. I was excited to see the new shape, thinking it would save room in the refrigerator. Unfortunately, I did NOT notice the tiny notation of the "new simple recipe". I added a spoonful to something cooking on the stove, and then I licked the spoon before putting it in the sink. I thought maybe my sense of taste was off because I hadn't been feeling well the day before. So I asked another family member to taste it, and he noticed the difference too. Then we looked more closely at the container, and there it was...sigh...Sadly, I will not be buying Country Crock again unless the former recipe returns. Since it tastes just like other, cheaper brands now, I might as well save the money. PLEASE bring back the true "original"!!!!

After what seems like 20yrs, I've discontinued using country crock. The new recipe is horrible and none of my family members like it at all. We've found another brand that has a great taste. Up until the new recipe, thanks for the many years of a great tasting product.

I want to express my dissatisfaction over the "Simpler Recipe". I remember over 25 years ago my family starting buying a new butter. It was all of the rage. No one questioned the flavor... they just started buying Country Crock. This is like "new Coke" all over again. I will be switching back to my butter 25-years prior. If it is not broken and the formula worked? why fix it? Too bad I cannot return the "Simpler Recipe" after using it.

Country Crock is the only margarine my family has ever used for as long as I remember. This new County Crock margarine is inedible and now we don't have a margarine we can buy that isn't trying to taste like butter. Please consider going back to the original Country Crock taste.

I'm 33 years old and have been using country crock my whole life. This new recipe is absolutely horrible! I purchased this thinking only the package was changed but as soon as I used it, I was shocked! I will NOT be buying this ever again unless the recipe is changed back! I'm in a panic wondering what butter to use because country crock was the only kind I liked! Please bring back the old recipe immediately and recall this horrendous piece of junk!!!
