A passionate rant about Waffle House’s use of margarine instead of real butter has gone viral on social media, sparking both support and controversy among viewers.
In the widely-shared video, social media influencer Crystal expressed her strong disapproval of the restaurant chain’s choice to serve margarine rather than butter. “They have margarine, and I hate margarine. This is an abomination. It should have never been invented,” she declared from inside her vehicle.
The influencer went as far as to call for political action, referencing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK) in her butter crusade: “You got RFK out here saying, oh, we’re going to get rid of this, that, and everything else. Get rid of this, RFK. Start with that.”
Making her stance crystal clear, she dramatically stated she would prefer unsanitary alternatives to consuming margarine, though her colorful comparison may have been too graphic for some viewers’ tastes.
The video concluded with a play on a familiar political slogan, with Crystal suggesting “Make America Butter Again” – a phrase that has since inspired merchandise, according to follow-up social media posts.
The clip has generated thousands of reactions online, with many commenters supporting her pro-butter stance while others focused on making personal remarks about the influencer. Some viewers praised her entertaining delivery, with one commenting, “Crystal speaks for the people,” while another suggested, “These two could actually have their own daytime TV show.”
Waffle House has not publicly responded to the viral criticism of their butter substitute usage.
