The gold bar icon obviously looks a bit like a pat of butter. This is not a particularly astounding or clever observation to make and most people would notice the slight resemblance and move on.
Some dolt thought they were being sharp by calling it butter out loud. He/she was wrong.
Some children noticed what the dolt had said and thought that if they repeated it, it would somehow make them popular. They were wrong.
Kids have always invented their own silly expressions and adults have always thought them misguided and immature for doing so. It’s just the way of things.
This particular fad is especially tragic though, since it lacks any form of wit or intelligence.
I think that’s why it grates on some people’s nerves so much. They feel it demonstrates the continued dumbing down of society and makes them worry about the parlous state of the public’s intellect.
They shouldn’t get too worked up though, since it’s just children at play and not necessarily an indication of falling IQs.
I’d love these forums to have a more consistently mature level of discussion, but at the same time I accept that Minecraft is a game for all ages and that everyone has a right to contribute.
I know this is a late reply but I never actually did Google Goldkenn.
So I did, and yes, that is indeed a bar of gold.
The gold bullion is used by the company as a comparison used to show how sexy their gold is, or at least Something along those lines.
Umm...except the "gold bullion" is clearly a cardboard box that initially housed those two individually-wrapped pieces of chocolate.

Alright I only read to page 4 and I see the same pattern. I call gold "Gold", I call a ingot a "Gold Ingot," and I call a tool a "Gold Tool."
The only time you ever hear me call gold butter is if Im going into my butter (gold) closet where I keep all my rares.
I call gold 'butter' because I can.
I could also call slime 'jelly'.
Do you REALLY have a problem with this?
Yes we do. It gets annoying. Do you want me to talk in leetspeak? No. It gets annoying. You can call it "bwudder" if you're in a forum or thread or server or... whatever that's based around sky. Keep it AWAY from ours.

Sarcasm. Ever heard of it? Yeah, I know it's very easy to spot in text, even without any cues such as smileys or fake bbcode.[/hypocrisy]
Read the text closely:
On the sides, it says "Goldkenn'".
On the top, it first shows what I interpret as some kind of emblem.
Right below that, it says:
GOLD "SWISS PRALINÉS"
<illegible square>
NET WT: 300 g - 10.5 oz
The underside is not visible on this picture, but probably includes nutrition values.
Also of note is the weight, 300 g (I don't care much about imperial units, I convert them all to about 22 meters irregardless of unit). According to Wolfram|Alpha, a real gold bar is about 41.5 times as heavy. That's... kind of a big difference.
Another Wolfram|Alpha query informed me that 300 g != (not equal, for you uneducated buttercallers) 10.5 oz, and that 300 g is actually 10.58 oz. (Number of MCF users who cares: me)
The original argument of gold not even remotely resembling butter is still valid, though; the poster just didn't do enough research.
In case it wasn't obvious, I'm on the Golden side of this discussion, not only for the fact that "The Golden side" sounds waay better than "The... (buttery? greasy? probably the latter) side". It also has to do with my opinion being that the closest approximation for "budder" in MC is the Block Update Detector, more commonly known as a BUD switch.
I also realise that this post is completely wasted, as the probability of converting anyone is approximatexactly (that's a word, because I used it as one) 0.0%. My chance of contributing to this discussion is a lot higher than that, so disregard my previous statement. Contributing to discussions is one of my major goals in life. (Derailing them is another, but only with ones which needs derailing.)

The one who leaked the details of PRISM is wanted for espionage. I find that amusingly hypocritical.
Calling it 'Budder' is so annoying, if one or two people were calling it that, then yeah it might be amusing, but when people start correcting you for saying 'Gold' and saying stuff like 'u must be part of the squid army, BUDDER! SKY ARMY RULES!!!!!!!' then it gets annoying. If you want to think of Gold as Butter then fine, but don't try and force the name onto other people
I agree with this.
Pretty much every website you go the sky army would bash you. Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. deviantART has it the worst. Not just for the sky army, but pretty much everything minecraft related.

Let me say, I am so sick of people who decide it's ok for them to come and tell others who they cannot and cannot like to watch and the amount of intelligence we have because we do. You don't like SkyDoesMinecraft, that's just fine. but when jerks like you come on and call the sky army idiots, it es me off. I personally do not go around preaching the ways of sky, but I still think he's fun to watch. Go rant to someone who cares, because I could not give less of a crap. And to relate more to your topic, I think that gold does actually resemble a very shiny stick of butter, so forget you

We aren't ranting about Sky in particular. We are ranting about the fans that spam "BWUDDAH!" everywhere. If you want to use "budder", then keep it in forums or topics or servers or... whatever that are MADE for Sky fans. Do you want me to talk in leetspeak? No. It gets annoying. You can be a Sky fan if you want. Just keep it away from people who DON'T want to be sky fans.

No, I'm pretty sure everybody criticizing at the moment also made sure to diss sky on the topic, 'Whats all the hype about skydoesminecraft?' Why the heck would you start this other than totell us he's crap. Butter is his logo, calling it crap is calling him crap.
Whoever said we are making you into sky fans? We just think certain things entertaining, and you don't. that's a darned shame if you find annoying, live with it 'squid army'. p.s., your rant on leet speak has been copy pasted too many times by you, like this is the third time.
They're average.
I'm probably going to join a Ghast army or something.

So I guess ‘Budda’ just comes with the territory.
WOAH! Was that quoting a quote you did just now? I thought they removed that?
Wow you just earned yourself a medal:
Umm...except the "gold bullion" is clearly a cardboard box that initially housed those two individually-wrapped pieces of chocolate.
You can do it it you type it in manually, but when you hit the "Quote" button, only the "top" level is copied automatically.
