Hmm, I thought the "Smurf" referred to the WG model?

Well, did you ever think maybe it's the "not butter" CEO that got inspiration from the Smurf? The package does say "new look".

I always wonder why they don't call 'I can't believe it's not butter' just 'it's not butter'.
Seems a waste of words.

There again..... I suppose that could then be confused with 'It's nut butter'...... Which is something else all together!

It looks like Dodger blue, which is called Pantone 294.

Interesting! Someone should compare a Kermit or Hulk to a Kerrygold logo.



It does say "WIS A Grade" right on the box.
