I'm a scraper and my margarine tub usually looks pretty neat. Since my girlfriend has started staying over, I've noticed my nice neat tub is now regularly full of knife craters which make it hard for me to successfully scrape. She's obviously a digger. While we laugh about it, I don't believe diggers and scrapers can happily share the same tub without eventually getting annoyed with each other.
Do you dig or scrape and do you ever argue with your family or significant other over the state of the contents of your margarine tub?
It doesn't bother me so much what others do regarding the digging or scraping. I'm a scraper who digs as the tub gets emptied but I like to smooth over the dig marks so everything is smooth for the next use. I'd just buy a second tub of margarine and label it with their name if it became a major issue. Then both parties are free to dig or scrape as much as they want.

I first thought this was about ice cream, an we were all about to have an essay on our hands. But butter or marge...? I'm a scraper, of course.
Who's a digger? I mean, honestly...
My latest story is a racy little piece about what happens when someone cute from work invites you over to watch Netflix and Chill. With a plastic margarine tub I don't think it matters. I dig until its low then scrape.
I like ribbons instead of chunks because it melts quicker.
I scrape, until it gets pretty low, then I dig.
scraper. i like making the little curly cues and the design they leave behind.
Scraper, it really annoys me when someone digs grrrr lol
I'm a scraper. I like to take from the top and move down....

I'm a scraper, my gf is a digger. It doesn't matter cos I have Lurpak and Laura swears by Olivio.
When I go to my Grandmas, she insists on putting a small amount of butter in a separate dish. She is a bit posh lol
Great topic, Katie

I use real butter. Sparingly. Margine is awful. Why do margine ads say tastes like butter? Just buy butter, it tastes like... Butter.
Funny...my grandmother called it "oleomargarine", never using "oleo" or "margarine" as separate words. She did keep margarine in the refrigerator, but I believe mostly because she married an American after the War, and lived in the Deep South, where the preference seems to be for margarine instead of butter. She always put out butter on the dinner table, never margarine, unless we had company coming over; then, she'd use a melon baller to scoop little balls of margarine into a crystal serving dish. It was slightly stemmed, probably to keep the margarine cooler.
I never saw her eat any actual margarine. She cooked (as do I) with canola oil, or with duck fat, or with butter. Never with margarine. Even grilled cheese sandwiches were made with butter or mayonnaise.
On the same note, she kept Kool Whip in the freezer, only taking it out when company was coming over. Even though she passed a few years ago, and definitely do not live in the South, I still do the same thing--I keep margarine, Land 'o Lakes in a tub, in the fridge, and Kool Whip in the freezer, neither of which ever come out except for when company is coming over. I have her margarine dish now, and still put out balled margarine--but only for company.

A different twist on things, but consider cheese. Do you cut a cheese block square, to leave a nice rectangle every time, or are you the PHILISTINE who cuts on an angle and leaves a ramp at one end?
