Ah, yes, the blue margarine. It also came in pink, IIRC, and was a 
marketing attempt by whichever company it was. I want to think it was 
squeeze Parkay. Nothing to do with Canadian law, though--I saw it in the 
stores here, and although much of the rest of the country might think 
otherwise Minnesota is still not Canada.

Not that we'd mind being Canada terribly much except for the problem 
with the Mountain Dew not having caffiene in it.
