That doesn't solve Mark's major life crisis. He wants the salted one to say
"Salted Butter", not just "Butter". Otherwise, it's not clearly
differentiated from the one which is clearly labeled "Unsalted Butter".

This is some serious stuff, this mislabeling of butter. I think we all need

and all that. This could bring down the country.
