There's nothing like hard butter to put you in a bad mood when you're trying to grab a quick bite before dashing out of the door to work.
Spread it on too quickly and you'll rip your toast to bits - but go too gently and you'll never make the 8.17.
First-world problems.
But it seems help has arrived at long last. Now there's a knife that cuts through butter like... it's slightly warmer butter.
The new gadget is simple enough - a blade with triangular holes in it.
But its inventors - Sacha Pantschenko, 29, Norman Oliberia, 27, and Craig Andrews, 48 - claim the 'grated butter' it produces is the best thing since sliced bread.
'The idea of finding a better way to spread butter was bounced around between the three of us and we came up with this,' said Sacha, of Sydney, Australia. 'We realised there was something valuable and cool here.
'It works best on butter that has been kept in the fridge, as we have found the butter doesn't curve as easily at room temperature.'
The trio have launched the £6 ButterUp gadget on crowdfunding site Kickstarter.
They need only £21,000 to begin making it... so if a few hundred butter lovers invest, they can get it on the shelves without spreading their resources too thinly.
