I too bought the Original Country Crock butter and my son tried it twice and said this butter is bad. I thought the same so I went and returned it and then I picked up the Calcium Country crock. Definitely not our taste buds. Why the change? I have been using Country Crock for at least 15 years and now I have to start over. Until they switch back I won't be buying this brand again.

I have used Country crock all of my life and unless they go back to the way it was I plan to never use it again. The new recipe tastes strange and cooks differently as well. It crusts up in the pan really fast and easily burns. I know I can't trust this in my cake recipes anymore. I actually went to a few stores to see if there was any of the old Country Crock left and I was able to get 2 containers. Once I'm out of I guess I'll have to find another butter to use because it won't be this awful new recipe

I have used and enjoyed Country Crock for years. I purchased, without realizing, a tub with the 'simple recipe'. I IMMEDIATELY thought something was terribly wrong with the taste (maybe an outdated product). The date was good but then I noticed the 'simple recipe' mark. I will NOT be purchasing Country Crock--unless it goes back to the original recipe! I DID, force myself to finish that tub thinking I need to give it a fair chance. The last piece of toast was just as inedible as the first with this disgusting recipe! I really desire to give 0 (ZERO) stars!

I have been using Country Crock for years and loved it. I bought the new container and thought it was the same recipe just different packaging. The new recipe tastes awful and I will be returning my tub to the store for a refund. I will never buy this again. Time to find a good tasting butter. So sad!

I made my famous bisque at my son's request for his 22nd birthday luncheon. This "New Simple Recipe" ruined my entire pot. This is an expensive recipe due to the amount of seafood it requires. The new recipe is not better tasting. I have used Country Crock for as long as I can remember. I have now switched to Land O'Lakes. Thank you for the years of great tasting recipes. It is now back to square one with all my recipes.

Country Crock has always been my go to spread! I was not prepared for the recipe change and I have to say... I will not be buying the product again. I couldn't even eat the food I cooked for supper a few nights ago because the taste was revolting. I hope that you take all of these comments into consideration and decide to go with the previous recipe.

My family and I have been using country crock since the 90s. When I purchased this new tub, I saw the word "original" thinking they had just changed the container to the new space saving shape. The container is flimsy and it does not seal well exposing it to refrigerator odors. The round tub is much better! But most importantly...the taste! I actually threw out a whole bowl of mashed potatoes thinking the potatoes must have been ruined or soured. And then a few days later I made biscuits for my son and he took one bite and stopped mid chew in disgust and had to spit it in the trashcan. He asked what did you do to the biscuits? After tasting one, I thought the biscuits were ruined. Then I tasted a piece of biscuit without the butter and it was fine. It was the nasty, disgusting tasting butter that ruined a whole pan of biscuits. I discovered this was the culprit for the mashed potatoes as well. I will never purchase this butter again as well as my other family members who tasted it as well. You need to change it back to the real "original" and the original tub. Disgusting!! EPIC FAIL Country Crock!!

Country Crock WAS our family tradition for decades... and the "new" butter is horrible and salty and now we are stuck finding a new butter because Country Crock is terrible now.... it tastes cheap and just wrong this is NOT the ORIGINAL country crock by far

Similar to others who've written reviews, I have used Country Crock for years and years. I couldn't understand why my "new & improved" butter spread didn't taste quite right, this version tastes funny and it wasn't melting completely, even after microwaving food with the spread on it. Thought it was weird, but thought maybe it was from keeping the spread too cold in the fridge, or something else I may have been doing different. Noticed the "New & Improved" labeling & decided to google why this new version of Country Crock will not melt easy and found countless similar reviews. Glad to know it's not all in my head. Unless Country Crock changes back to the old recipe, add me to the long list of lost loyal customers. Very disappointed

Last week we purchased the new recipe, didn't really pay attention that it said new recipe at the time, just a new container. At dinner time we thought that our mashed potatoes had a bad taste and thought it must have been a bad bag of potatoes. The next morning made toast bread with butter and now know it was not the potatoes. It tastes so bad we didn't even finish the container, threw it away and are in the process of trying other brands. If anything they could have came out with a second option for those that wanted more healthy, or what ever reason they thought they needed to change to recipe. Can only hope they go back to the original recipe.
