Reply to comment by WelcomeScary4270 in TIL Margarine was originally named oleomargarine from Latin for oleum (olive oil) and Greek margarite ("pearl", indicating luster). by joshemerson

I remember oleomargarine and having to mix in the yellow coloring from the WW II (early '40s) days when I was a child. And if that makes me seem ancient to you, then I deduce that you are callow indeed.
