Ok .. Cliffie ... you think, perhaps, this refrigerated truck containing margarine (not butter) was stolen in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and some devious crooks sold the margarine on the black market to Norway?
I hope it wasn't I Can't Believe It's Not Butter ... that stuff has to be a mixture of closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam.
