Butter is like lube for helping the bread slip down your throat.
If you’ve ever had plain toast you know what I mean. That shit rips your throat apart.

Had the thought while making lunch
Butter is just lube for bread when you make a sandwich. Without butter, the bread is too dry and not pleasant to experience. Jam sandwiches without butter is too dry but with butter is nice
