Tut, tut

This makes me feel old. After buying this blotter with a ruler on it (the whole reason I bought it), I did some research about Butter-Nut Bread, and found lots of newspaper articles and web sites that discuss the Butternut jingle: "Tut, tut, nothing but, Butternut Bread!" Not anything I remember. In a 2012 article about the closing of a Hostess plant near Cincinnati, which produced Butter-Nut Bread in addition to other Hostess baked goods, many of the displaced workers specifically mentioned fond memories of Butter-Nut bread, a Cincinnati-based bread first sold in the early 1900s.

(To see some examples, do a search for "Tut, tut, nothing but, Butternut Bread!")

Now I have a piece of history.
