He can‘t believe it‘s not butter.

Where do you people find these Žižek images?

Random people come to take pictures of him.
He leaves his front door unlocked just for this.

That thing looks and tastes just like butter and is called "I can't believe it's not butter". When you buy it, you very well know that it's not butter, you are not stupid. At the same time, the name says it out front you "can't believe it's not it", even though you do believe it is not butter.

What the quote is saying is that, in reality, on a deeper level, even if you rationally know it's not butter, you really can't tell and don't care about the difference. Except the fact that you can't tell the difference is sustained solely because there is this "joke name". In other words, you really can't believe it's not butter and the fact that it is spelled out for you in the name actually allows you to be okay with this.

As well you should. Most of the "healthy alternatives" have been proven to be frauds, counterproductive, or even toxic.

>He can‘t believe it‘s not butter.
Dogshit - he damned well knows that it is not butter but he knows that admitting as much will bring the full weight of The Establishment upon him.

WRONG

He's saying the name is less of a play on whether or not it is actually butter, but rather on the fact that the name plays off your desire to find a healthier substitute without actually giving up butter.
The name is a figurative saying of sorts rather than a direct statement.

What you should really be asking is what is it that you lack for which these Zizek images are needed in order to support your own ideology. Even if these pictures were everywhere, your mystification would still stand as a pathology in itself.
