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

You must be ancient. I googled it and the only images are old-timey handdrawn adverts.

With any luck, you will be ancient one day, too.

I already feel like I am, every time I sit up and something creaks.

Didn't mean it as an insult though. I thought your comment was funny is all.

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.
