*I remember the oleo bags and the dye "button" and "mashing" them for Mamma in the kitchen in Alexandria. First it was Auburn Garden apts., then we had a house in DelRay, Alexandria. I have read and read but this is the first mention of the oleo bags. Nobody I know remembers them. I remember the button was very dark and I didn't know how it got "yellow" but it did. I also remember the oleo "chunks" but that wasn't as much fun. Sandy McCaleb
*I too remember the time when
my sisters and I would fight over who’s turn it was to break the blood button
(that’s what we called it) to color the margarine. I have a fond memory of it
being my first time and I was so excited that I thought I would do the best job.
In the event of my determination to spread the color, by accident I broke the
margarine bag and it oozed all over the living room footstool. Hence, never
forgetting the margarine red button. Of greater interest, a few years ago
after my mother had passed away, I was sorting out her many collections of
history and found that she had saved the red button packaging. So I now posses
the original package that this red food coloring came in and don’t seem to know
why I cant throw it away. LOL Nancy Burns
