64. "How has that worked out?"

"Margarine" = "Trans-fats" = "bad".

So the margarine industry was eventually pummeled and had to reformulate.

And yes - the oleo thing was due to WW2 rationing (per my parents who were teens/young adults in the '40s when that happened) but then later got a push through the '50s - '70s due to increases in coronary disease from "bad fats", where margarine was supposed to help reduce that issue. Eventually it was found that this cause/effect hypothesis wasn't really correct either, where the "substitute" made things worse. Anyway....
