Have used Country Crock for years. Bought the new square tub and tasted terrible. Checked container and saw New Simple Recipe on the lid. Tried a few times but tasted so awful, yesterday had to buy a different brand that I have never used before - happily it was good.

How can you still call this "original" when you have changed everything about it? I grew up a butter lover, but the old country crock converted me to a "country crock lover". I really loved it more than butter. But lo and behold, you had to change it. I know it seems trivial, but this change has devastated me. Why do companies feel the need to change a superior product. I hope you fire whoever came up with this horrendous idea when you see your sales plummet to the ground!!! I am searching for an alternative every time I go to the grocery store. The "new recipe" is terrible and I will no longer be buying Country Crock. PLEASE bring back the TRUE original.

This is the most awful tasting stuff! I have use country crock for at least 30 years! Or more! I thought my grandson just didn't want to eat his mac and cheese when he told me it tasted awful. Then I had baked potatoes and my husband and daughter said what it wrong with this butter! Then I tasted it AWFUL!!!!!! BRING THE FIRST ORIGINAL BACK PLEASE!!!!!

We recently picked up the new container of butter. I thought only the packaging had changed until I had some toast. I told my husband that I thought the bread had gone bad but my son told me the butter ingredients had changed. It tastes sour to me. I wish I could give this negative stars. I've used this butter for years and now I will never buy it again unless you change it back.

My meals I prepare with Country Crock have been in a tailspin since they changed the recipe. I have tried all margarine on the market to replace this joke of a "new recipe". Did not find any margarine that came close to the old recipe. Finally found a "whipped butter" that has a great flavor and has less fat than "regular butter" This "whipped butter" comes in a small tub. It is more expensive than margarine and does not spread well right out of the fridge but if you warm your knife first it will spread better. I have discovered that I need to use less because the butter flavor is more intense. I hope you all success in finding something that works for you. Just wanted to share my experience. It took months to find the best option for me.

I used this spread in mac and cheese as I always have and my kids refused to eat it. They said it smelled funny and tasted gross. They normally gobble it down... so I made peanut butter and butter sandwiches not realizing the butter was "gross". One ended up on the floor and the other in the trash. Looking for a new butter after 8 loyal yeats. Thanks...

I have used this brand for over 20 years and have loved it until now. The taste is just awful. At first, I was very excited about the change of shape of the container and bought several tubs - much to my dismay. Stating it's "Original" on the front is incredibly misleading and unbecoming for your company. Not only is the taste awful, the aftertaste and film it leaves behind is incredibly nasty.

The product is terrible!!! Hate the new taste and if they don't change it back to the original recipe, I'll be looking for a new margarine. I am so disappointed - All these years. Why fix something what wasn't even broken??? It was wonderful and I used it for everything I made. Who needed butter when you had Country Crock?

I, the same as sooooo many others, hate this "new recipe". It is honestly just horrible. I do not really understand how the companies taste testers actually thought this product tasted better than the true original. Once again last night I went to make one of my favorite dinners which usually included Original Country Crock or the Added Calcium version. I couldn't even finish it. Starting today I am on the hunt for a new brand. Really disappointed. While I search I will be watching and really hoping that Country Crock realizes the huge mistake they made and go back to what has worked for them all these years.

This reminds me of the movie, KATE & LEOPOLD... with Meg Ryan & Hugh Jackman. Jackman as Mr. Margarine "thinks he is advertising a great product only to find out it tastes like pond scum." I've lost count of how many years we have cooked with COUNTRY CROCK, possibly 25, but this new attempt at a product couldn't possibly taste as good as pond scum!!!
