Remember the old saying-----"if it isn't broke, don't fix it"---------the original spread was great-----my great grandson loved it. I bought some of the new and spread it on bread for him and he refused to eat it saying it was "not good". Threw it away and won't buy any more

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Country Crock Original is the go-to favorite for my family! Being easy to spread makes it versatile in that it's ready to use whenever we need it. We don't have to wait for it to melt to spread on toast... it's always ready to go without compromising flavor!

I want to begin by saying I have been a loyal Country Crock customer for a couple decades, probably longer. Your butter spread was the best! I preferred it to real butter and all of the other margarines and spreads out there. My 14 year old son and 11 year old daughter really loved it as well. It was the only kind my son would eat. A few weeks ago, I purchased the new simpler recipe in the square/rectangular container. No one in my family likes the taste. I have searched multiple stores to see if your older recipe was still in stock anywhere and no luck. Please bring back your old recipe. I tried the Country Crock sticks and they have a different taste than the spread from the tubs we used to buy. I believe the older spread had 51% vegetable oil. The sticks have 60% and the new recipe has 40%. The 51% must be the ideal number because that stuff was great. I understand your company trying to maximize sales and if more people like the new simpler recipe, good for you. However, I noticed from your website many people complaining about the new recipe. There must be a lot of us who prefer the old recipe. Why not produce both kinds? I regret to say I can't buy Country Crock any more unless you bring back that “great, great” product you used to produce. Thank you for making the best product out there for all these years. I will have to search for the next best thing now. I appreciate your time regarding this matter. Sincerely, Tony

We used to use it very often and recently we noticed it doesn't melt properly in the pan to cook pancakes anymore. It looks clumpy and disgusting like sour milk products. It doesn't "melt". It starts to spit and make a mess. It doesn't move around the pan with the spatula. It separates.We put it off to a bad batch last time but I just opened a new one and same thing. The "New Simpler Recipe" isn't working. Did you try cooking with it before you sent it out? It used to taste so good that we wouldn't make pancakes, french toast or potato pancakes without it. We didn't even like eating those things in restaurants because they taste better with Shedd's Spread.

Dislike the new taste... Yuck. Will need to go brand surfing. I loved the taste of the old original, the first time I put this on a bagel i truly thought it had gone bad. Will not purchase again, and I am someone who cooked with it, slathered it on my bagels, corn. It is awefull!!!!! I am someone who rarely seeks out the site to give a reveiw. I am sad.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this in several recipes as I wanted to give it a fair chance. In all my recipes it just didn't deliver the flavor we like. We are purists though, and prefer butter to any alternative so I am a bit biased. We all felt the texture was a bit off also so I would not recommend or buy this again. I received this product free for testing purposes from @influenster #MakeItYours.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I typically only use butter however, decided to try this product. It is extremely salty, has an undesirable texture and a strange after taste. I think it may be okay for baking but it's definitely not something I'll try again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good, versatile product that I have used for cooking and baking. Also a great spread for rolls and toast. I received a coupon to try this buttery spread for free, but all opinions are my own. Highly recommend!

Just purchased a new square tub of margarine and it tastes different and not in a good way. Most of your customers were probably aware of the GMO's and other bad things in your margarine, but like myself, used it anyway because it tasted good. Now that it tastes disgusting, there's no reason to not switch to butter or a different margarine.

I've been buying and using your butter for years, but the last batch I just picked up was bad. Or so I thought. Turns out the product has changed and not only are they in silly little packages but the taste is outright pathetic. Real butter from now on! I may try you guys again if I see the package change, now I have associated it with poor quality butter.
