NUCOA MARGARINE. Jaeger-Kunnert, a wholesale grocer, gained local publicity in the 1920s by being the first of three wholesale grocers to offer NUCOA margarine and Blue Ribbon Malt Liquor. NUCOA, for those who could not afford butter, came with a coloring bean in the package. Customers could knead the bean into the margarine to color it yellow like butter.
