This clip is hilarious. Thanks. I must admit any shortage of butter makes me uneasy. Butter=happiness. There is no substitute for that.

Oh there was something on Food Network the other day about pizza and the founder of Papa John's credited his chain as creating a worldwide pepperoncini shortage. Oh, the panic.
