A social media user has divided opinions after sharing a handy hack online with regards to spreading butter.
We all know too well about scraping a tub of almost-frozen Lurpak, only for it to completely tear your bread or toast apart to the point of it becoming inedible.
And it's even worse in cafe's, when your Full English arrives with lukewarm toast and tiny sachets of the golden goods which usually end up in clumps and unevenly spread.

The Express reports that one Instagrammer has churned up debate after showing their unique method of spreading butter - and it's unlike anything we've seen before. @the_yukistar's 20-second reel shows a woman piercing a pack of butter with a fork, before then squeezing the wrapper to push the butter through the holes like some kind of string cheese - making the butter thinner and easier to spread.
Some users were quick to point out the difficulties associated with the unusual method, as one person pointed out: "Great idea, although I find they’re normally colder and harder than a glacier."
A second wrote: "That would be great but most hotels and restaurants give you the butter so cold that I doubt you'd be able to do this. Love to try it though," while a third added: "But it wastes a lot of what's inside. No. Can't let butter waste."
"Who has that much butter?" asked another user.
However, some users seemed keen to try the innovative approach. As one person wrote: "I’ll be trying this. So many negative comments about a butter hack. If you don’t like it, don’t try it!"
"Interesting to see that not all butter in hotels and restaurants is made of marble," added another. "You live and learn!"
A different user, commented: "Good idea! I rather do this but put a little less butter. Less work than using the butter knife."
While someone else even shared their own nugget of wisdom, writing: "For all negative commenters that have issue with their butter being too stiff/hard, try this hack: put the butter (still wrapped) under a cup of coffee you're brewing. In a minute or two it'll get soft."
