It was indeed the dairy industry - they didn't want margarine to encroach on their butter market share. So funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-just-not-substitute/page/2#post-1264355 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 23:19:13 +0000 Arden 1264355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No fake food.

Why is this the one thing store brands can't get? If I'm going to indulge in a bowl of sugary goodness, it has to be the real stuff :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-just-not-substitute/page/2#post-1263895 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 20:21:16 +0000 avivoca 1263895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: The whole "fat is bad for you" movement put the kibosh on it.

It has a different spice to it than American honey. I bought some on our honeymoon and loved it so much I have that particular brand imported in from Greece! Luckily, it lasts forever. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-just-not-substitute/page/2#post-1263865 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 20:11:44 +0000 dc yoga bee 1263865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: High five! I'm the biggest supporter of Buying American, and supporting local small businesses. However... I will never drive or buy an American car! My parents have only ever had foreign, and me too. DH had to learn that pretty quickly when we started dating, and he met my family. We are serious about our foreign cars! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-just-not-substitute/page/2#post-1263835 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 20:00:53 +0000 BSB 1263835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I have any brand loyalty for food. My wallet and stomach is fine with whatever is on sale. :P I do prefer certain brands but I'll drink crappy coffee, if I need it. I'll drink pepsi if they don't have coke. </p> <p>Now for computers, I'm a big Apple fan. I do use PCs at work. As for cars, I prefer foreign cars over domestic. Right now, I'm loving my past two Honda vehicles and don't think I could make the switch to another car company. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-just-not-substitute/page/2#post-1263811 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 19:52:49 +0000 bpcmarj 1263811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We spend a small fortune on Ben and Jerry's but nothing else will do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-just-not-substitute/page/2#post-1263803 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 19:50:22 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1263803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@evansjamie: Wow, great fact!

None of that store brand stuff. I figure if I drink something every day I can be picky about it. I also hate margarine*.</p> <p>*Fun fact: margarine used to not be allowed to be sold yellow. It either came in its natural grayish color or was bright pink, and they would have packets of yellow dye so the consumer could dye it at home. It had to do with the dairy industry and allowing the consumer to know exactly what they were purchasing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-just-not-substitute/page/2#post-1263590 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 17:55:25 +0000 NavyRN2012 1263590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All you hellman's fans!

My husband said he'd never had REAL maple syrup until he met me. The other Aunt J, etc stuff is just high fructose junk, I'd never eat that.<br /> Only Hellmann's mayo and Heinz ketchup for me too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-just-not-substitute/page/2#post-1263167 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:49:00 +0000 MapleMoose 1263167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: Did you ever try your hand at it?
