(cut chain for length, since the above is mostly not directly relevant to the below)
Might also be relevant that most Canadian butter is sold in blocks the size of four sticks. (Usually with markings along the side of the (paper-lined foil) wrapper to indicate things like “slice here to get ¼ cup”.)
(I used to think it was all Canadian butter, but I recently discovered that President’s Choice brand butter is in stick format.)
So a block of butter is 2 cups of butter? I’ve seen 1 cup (so two normal sticks) size blocks and I found them to be much less convenient for baking, but alright for table use.
But then, I actively prefer the longer sticks to the shorter sticks so I might be out there in terms of butter packaging preferences.
Anyway I wonder if the different packaging styles make a substantial cost difference (where, like 1/2¢ would qualify as huge due to volume) or environment impact difference.
