UPDATE: Pretty good but yet another way for Americans to have dessert for breakfast. A deeply unserious country.

And by country you mean the Irish that made it?

Wikipedia entry for the Oruna company. And Irish company that owns Kerrygold butter and is this responsible for the cinnamon sugar butter product being denounced as American.

I could've sworn I've seen plain ol' Kerrygold here in Tokyo, but I must be mistaken. Likely one of the NZ brands. The Ornua Asia website says Kerrygold's only in China, S'pore, Malaysia & South Korea. But I've no doubt the Japanese would love this spread. No savory bagels here. Just odd sweet ones.

My guess is that this is geared strictly for the American market; it’s not being sold in Ireland, is it?

There are a lot of Americans who would probably unwrap that stick of butter and lick it like a lollipop. This product seems deeply unnecessary. I grew up eating cinnamon toast. You butter your toast, you sprinkle a little cinnamon on it, and then you sprinkle a little sugar on it. That’s it!

Chuck: If you were an American kid during the 1960s or early '70s, you may have sprinkled your toast--or oatmeal, cream of wheat, Malt-O-Meal, pancakes or whatever--with Domino's premixed Sugar 'n' Cinnamon blend. At least on the East Coast, where Domino had/has plants in Brooklyn & Baltimore.

Vintage plastic shakers of Domino Sugar 'n' Cinnamon blend produced by the American Sugar Co., later Amstar Corp., in the 1960s & '70s. The blend, favored by American kids as a topping for toast, oatmeal and other hot breakfast cereals, waffles and pancakes, is still available, albeit in packaging with less child-oriented appeal. The roughly 5-inch-tall shakers were collected by some & used to store pennies, among other things. Photo via Ebay.

Oh, Mom used to get little spice jars of cinnamon sugar. I think they came from McCormack or something like that. We didn’t get fancy jars like that though! Seemingly mostly for toast though — we were never a hot cereal household.

My paternal uncle worked at Domino's Baltimore plant, so it was a given we'd use their Sugar 'n' Cinnamon. McCormick's HQ is just north of B'more. In 1990, it bought Old Bay from the Baltimore Spice Co., whose plant was on the Inner Harbor waterfront, permeating downtown w/ the aroma of spice.

There’s a LOT of Normal Things here that I absolutely refuse to participate in, acknowledge existence of or condone in any way, shape or form. Like beer pong. What the giddy fuck is that all about. Peanut butter can get fucked all the way to Pluto. Yank bread. Just no. It’s a war crime.
