Who knows what "oleo" is and remembers the little "red/orange" dot and what you did with it?? This is really giving my age away.
Back in the '50s, I remember Granda always called margarine "oleo", and I was wondering about the little red dot. Was that the annato bean extract that is used to this day in giving yellow or orange coloring to foods?
