- 3:38Speaker 1: I haven't really fans. Yeah, I haven't.
- 3:41Speaker 2: It's it's the butter brand that confuses me.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Is Challenge Butter. Oh yeah, that's why? What about it?
- 3:51Speaker 1: Why is it? Is it a challenge to eat butter?
- 3:53Speaker 3: Challenge Butter for you? Yeah?
- 3:55Speaker 2: It is because you're lactose intolerant. Yeah, but it's just
- 3:58Speaker 2: the brand name Challenge.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Uh huh. I just Bill Frost is here? Bill? You
- 4:03Speaker 1: do you have any preferences when it comes to the butter.
- 4:07Speaker 5: Yeah, I have a droopy microphone here. Uh huh, there
- 4:11Speaker 5: it is. Yeah, no preferences of butter. I've never I'm
- 4:15Speaker 5: not not familiar with Challenge Butter.
- 4:18Speaker 1: It's got a deer on the package.
- 4:19Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, see it more and more confusing, right, challenge?
- 4:24Speaker 5: Well comes?
- 4:25Speaker 2: Or do I pick it up and go challenge accepted?
- 4:27Speaker 5: Ye?
- 4:28Speaker 1: That what I'm supposed to do.
- 4:30Speaker 3: The deer represents the challenge of the hunt for the butter.
- 4:34Speaker 1: It's right in the dairy case. I don't need to
- 4:36Speaker 1: hunt for the butter. Well, let's seeing it says about
- 4:41Speaker 1: Challenge Butter. It's known for its rich sweet cream taste,
- 4:46Speaker 1: a slightly color, a light a lighter color than compared
- 4:49Speaker 1: to European brands, but it doesn't say anything about why it's.
- 4:56Speaker 3: When googling why is Challenge Butter called Challengeallenge Butter is
- 5:00Speaker 3: named for the nineteen eleven goal of its founders to
- 5:04Speaker 3: quote unquote challenge the established quote unquote big dairy monopoly
- 5:08Speaker 3: by offering higher quality butter.
- 5:11Speaker 1: All right, it says on the package, churned fresh daily
- 5:15Speaker 1: since nineteen eleven, Wow, challenge Challenge accepted.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Butter shouldn't be a challenge. It should be a pleasant experience.
- 5:26Speaker 3: That's the nineteen eleven equivalent of like the alpha male,
- 5:29Speaker 3: like wearing the suit and the cigar.
- 5:31Speaker 2: I mean a better name for butter would be Nummy.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Nummy brand Butter.
- 5:36Speaker 3: You're a Challenge Butter. We make we we we We're Jacob.
- 5:41Speaker 5: That's a marketing marketing group just overthinking everything exactly.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, Challenge Butter comes from the Challenge dairy.
- 5:50Speaker 5: That makes more sense.
- 5:51Speaker 1: That's they call there?
- 5:53Speaker 5: Is it?
- 5:55Speaker 3: Well?
- 5:55Speaker 5: A little?
- 5:56Speaker 1: The choice of the name Challenge was no accident. Legend
- 6:00Speaker 1: has it that the first president of Challenge Cream and
- 6:04Speaker 1: Butter Association, JP Murphy, chose it after seeing a mural
- 6:07Speaker 1: of two elk competing for the position of King of
- 6:10Speaker 1: the Forest. Under this mural were the words the challenge
- 6:14Speaker 1: you're not thinking of butter. At the time, mister Murphy
- 6:16Speaker 1: felt that this was exactly what he and his coalition
- 6:19Speaker 1: of small scale dairies he represented were trying to accomplish,
- 6:23Speaker 1: a challenge to the establishment with a product of undeniable
- 6:27Speaker 1: quality and the ability to beat an elk at any game.
- 6:32Speaker 5: So it sounds like something from the J. Peterman catalog exactly.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:37Speaker 4: And if that's the attitude that you have, why not
- 6:40Speaker 4: f you butter? Why not you know, middle finger butter.
- 6:45Speaker 1: It says on one of the early packagers, challenge butter,
- 6:49Speaker 1: use it generously.
- 6:51Speaker 2: The challenge accepted, all right,
