🧈 Ancient Uses of Butter

Butter has a long history, used by ancient Romans as a beauty treatment and to heal birds. Even the Old Testament references butter, where Abraham served it to angels. In ancient times, people made butter by shaking milk in bags made from animal skin or in hollow logs. Today, modern technology has revolutionized butter production.

🚛 Milk Delivery and the Butterizer

The butter-making process starts with a tanker truck delivering cow's milk, which is used to produce various dairy products like cream, yogurt, and cheese. This milk is pumped into a machine called the butterizer, which specializes in making butter. The butterizer is highly efficient in this task.

🧪 Buttercream Separation Process

During the butter production process, milk is separated into different components. The first vial contains buttercream, which is thick, off-white, and made up of 38% fat. A worker adjusts a valve to add it to the batch. The second vial contains 2% milk, which is thinner and more watery due to its lower fat content.

🐴 Unexpected Ingredient: Horse Semen?

In an odd and surprising twist, the script mentions a third vial containing horse semen. This odd insertion is juxtaposed with a return to the butter-making process, which continues with the buttercream.

💧 Buttercream with a Heartbeat

The buttercream is placed into a bulk tank, which somehow 'imbues it with a heartbeat.' If the buttercream is receptive to this process, it is transferred to a churner, but only after it is cleaned with soapy water as a form of punishment for any inappropriate behavior during production.

🌧 The Buttercream Shower

A strange phenomenon called the 'buttercream shower' occurs when dairy products saturate the atmosphere. This shower is collected in a large churner, spinning at 28 rotations per minute to cause the fat molecules to bunch together and release air and water. Workers then open an air vent to allow the buttercream to breathe.

🍿 Popcorn Butter and the Derek Incident

After 30 minutes of churning, the butter fat forms clumps known as 'popcorn butter,' which can cause digestive discomfort if eaten. A mishap occurs when a drain is accidentally opened, spilling the buttermilk and popcorn butter. The narrative blames someone named Derek for this mistake.

🧂 Salting the Butter

Whatever remains of the spilled popcorn butter is salvaged and flavored with a significant amount of salt, which is described as coming from a 'proud man's bucket.' The churner is then sealed with an industrial-grade lid and secured with a bicycle tire bought at Walmart.

🧈 Butter is Finally Made

After another 30 minutes of churning, the butter is finally made. Simultaneously, a local Play-Doh factory ships pale yellow Play-Doh to the butter factory, where it is added to the butter to save costs, making up 10% of each stick of butter.

📦 Mysterious Butter Packaging

The butter is packaged into boxes featuring mysterious symbols that may or may not have any meaning. According to the factory, solving the puzzle on the packaging could summon the pharaoh, who will become the king of duel monsters.

🔢 How Many Butters in a Package?

The script ends with a playful guessing game about how many sticks of butter are in a single package, revealing the surprising answer: 455 sticks of butter.

Keywords

💡Butter

Butter is a dairy product made by churning cream, separating the milk from its fat. In the video, it is the central product being discussed, with the process of its creation—from ancient times to modern technology—highlighted. The term also appears humorously in various contexts, such as butter cream being given 'life' and punished for 'swear words.'

💡Butterizer

A 'butterizer' is a fictional machine in the video used to produce butter. It is portrayed humorously as a highly specialized device that only makes butter, emphasizing the industrialized and automated nature of butter production in the modern era.

💡Buttercream

Buttercream in the video refers to the fat-rich portion of milk separated during the butter-making process. It is thick and off-white in color, consisting of 38% fat. The video presents buttercream as an essential element in creating butter, even personifying it as a product with a 'heartbeat' when placed in a bulk tank.

💡Churner

The churner is the machine used to spin and churn the buttercream, turning it into butter. The video humorously exaggerates its function, describing how it 'releases air and water' from the fat molecules. The churner is key to the butter-making process, symbolizing the step that transforms cream into butter.

💡Popcorn Butter

Popcorn butter is a humorous term used in the video to describe the clumps of butter fat that form after churning. The video humorously warns that eating this popcorn butter can cause 'painful diarrhea.' It represents an intermediate stage in butter production, before the final butter is made.

💡Butter Making

Butter making refers to the overall process of turning milk or cream into butter. The video outlines this process from ancient methods involving shaking milk in animal skins to modern technology. This concept encompasses all the steps, from milk delivery to packaging the final butter product.

💡Buttermilk

Buttermilk is the liquid that remains after butter has been churned. In the video, it spills out along with the 'popcorn butter' and is a byproduct of the butter-making process. Its role in butter production highlights the separation of fat from liquid in dairy processing.

💡Salt

Salt is used in the video to flavor the butter during production. A 'proud man's bucket worth of salt' is added to the popcorn butter. Salt plays a role in enhancing the flavor of butter and is a critical ingredient in traditional butter production.

💡Packaging

Packaging refers to the final stage of the butter-making process, where the butter is placed into boxes for sale. In the video, it is humorously described as containing mysterious shapes that could potentially summon a 'pharaoh,' adding a comical twist to an otherwise mundane process.

💡Play-Doh

Play-Doh is humorously mentioned in the video as an additive that makes up 10% of the butter, supposedly to save costs. This fictional element exaggerates the industrial nature of butter production and adds an absurd twist to the idea of food additives in manufacturing.
