Colored Margarine Table-side Ban.
Used in a sentence: "Amidst all of the political discourse leading into next year's presidential election, some folks north of the local border are focused on the right legislative agenda -- overturning the colored margarine table-side ban."
I always get a chuckle about obscure laws still on the books. In case you slip into Wisconsin, just know that if you eat in a restaurant there, you can't get colored margarine unless you make a special request. And if you get in trouble and wind up in a Cheesehead prison -- you're not going to get the healthy stuff unless you're a vegan or someone with a noted health concern (which costs the taxpayers 3x more).
Some are trying to get it overturned (and running into the well organized butter lobby) so it remains to be seen if they are successful. You heard it hear first -- if you're going to Wisconsin this holiday, pack your own Country Crock!
