The matter has been discussed on the Q.I. chat pages; and I think someone from the programme posted a message saying:
"We were quoting the UK Spreads Association (which used to be called the Margarine and Spreads Association), which says that marge is no longer for sale in this country - they recently changed the formulations of their members’ products so that they no longer come into the 80-90% fat content bracket that legally defines them as margarines. Their spokesman said:
“We would like to make it clear that there are no brands of margarine on sale in Britain today.”" |
I didn't know that! (and if it was on QI that's usually good enough for me...)
