I started wondering earlier, do we actually know what butter tastes like? It seems most of what we use is actually margarine (stuff like Flora being made of sunflower oil, or Bertolli being made of olive oil) simply masquerading as butter. So I started to wonder, after years of having butter decried as unhealthy and instead being offered "butter substitutes" that are apparently just as good, do we know the difference? If someone actually gave us some real butter, made from real milk, would we like it? Would we complain that it doesn't taste just like Flora (or any of its variants that do many different things to your body)?
I wonder if there are any other products like this that we might have lost the taste for.
Alice in popular culture sighting no. 72: It seems I found this one a while ago and forgot about it. I discovered a link to this page in my bookmarks on a site called "Blabberwocky".
Alice in popular culture sighting no. 73: Bash.org has been down for a while, so I've turned to qdb.us for my amusing IRC quote needs. The other day I discovered this little snippet.

This is my main blog. In it I talk about various aspects of culture (digital and otherwise), new media, the internet, my ideas, and anything else that I feel I need to cover or discuss.
I also use it as a place to chronicle instances of Alice (of Wonderland fame) in popular culture. These instances are intended to be "found", so I don't include any I've been directed to (such as those that occur in texts I read for my course) or any I actively seek out.
