This thing is so unnecessary since we have knives. Also, it gets rid of the measurements that are on the side of the packaging of butter.
Thumbs down.

I would definitely call that an impulse buy, but it might be good for older people with arthritic conditions or the like. I think there's a very select subsection of the populace that could really do to have this, and a much larger swath falling outside of that.

I really can't honestly see myself owning one.
It'd make a funny conversation starter though

Butter is bad for you. But I'd buy that device if I knew/could change how much it'd spit out.
I would consider buying such thing if they would sell it in the stores for a reasonable price.

OMG I HAVE to have this. You won't believe how often I find myself with a knife just a third of the way through a stick of butter and I just want to give up. Sometimes I have to stop because I just can't go on. Now I will be able to lift my head up with pride! No more will I be marginalized (or margarine-ized) for my setbacks. With the ButterCutter I will finally be able to claim success.

Leave the butter out in a butter dish.

A lot of seemingly useless products are like this. Snuggies are the same way; they were invented for disabled people who can't regulate their body temperature, especially those in wheelchairs, for whom regular blankets are more of a hindrance. Then someone decided that other people could use it too despite not having these problems.
That said, I'd use this, but probably once ever and I would never pay money for it.
I'm not a bad enough dude, but I am an edgy little shit. I'll do what I can.

If people are stupid enough to buy something as banal as that, then I might as well patent something of my own a make a fortune. I'll call it the butter melter.
Oh crap...I gave away my idea.

Wow.
"It makes a great gift!"
Please someone have the audacity to give me that piece of shit for Christmas. I will fucking eye gouge you.
Also, I don't use sticks of butter. I use tubs.

If there's a Secret Santa next year, I'm buying that for Atma.
I'd buy it if Billy Mays was still alive and peddling it. BILLY MAYS HERE WITH THE NEW BUTTER CUTTER!

Can you put other things in it? Like ice cream or sex lube or pâté?

I'll remember to pass on the butter if I have dinner at your house.

Like Alton Brown says "Butter is NOT bad!' it's margarine that's the devil. Butter comes from cows, margarine comes from oil. Your body has not had a crash course in chemistry and can digest/dissolve butter much more easily than margarine and similar "substitutes."

It's not nearly as bad for you as the alternatives, margarine in particular.
Cause that's how I roll bounce.

Well, all dairy is bad for you to some degree. We aren't set up to drink cow's milk, that's for calves, not us. Still, like I said in my previous post, I agree that margarine is far, far worse for you than butter is.

What confuses me most is that it "takes up less space." Less space than a stick of butter not encased in one of those things?
It seems to lengthen the shape of the butter bar when put in. I just watched the video and as it seems you have to hold the butter bar and push to cut the pieces. so you always have to wash hands before and after using it. This makes it not worth a single dollar. or euro.
its also obvious that hacker did post this only because the milf factor of the commercial did lengthen his butter bar
