As a number of posts have no doubt already indicated, this is a regional difference in language; what it is called depends on which part of the country you live in. Margarine is what it always says on the wrapper or the pail, at least here, so that's what we call it, although we've heard the terms "oleo" and "oleomargarine" or heard of them.

Nowadays, at least where I live, I don't think any of them use the word "margarine". They are "spreads", which of course doesn't stop the public from saying "margarine" or even "butter".

You know, I remember the "Garfield one, two three two three!" jingle, but: a) I don't know if it's because we got WUAB on cable, or because I spent the better part of Aug1982-Aug1988 in the Cleveland area (or both) and b) I can't remember what product/service the jingle applied to. A little help?

Me either - but it might have been real estate. Or it might have been aluminum siding. There were pictures of houses involved. Again, apply a giant "I -think-" to this, because the commercial didn't do that good a job LINKING the earworm part to the info about the company.

<click!> Yes...pictures of houses.
And now, via the wonder of the internet, I hereby bring you: http://www.garfield12323.com/ including a quick video which plays their 50+-yr-old earworm.
They are now called Cleveland Vinyl Siding, but I don't know what other names they've gone by over the years (if any).
