How much butter is there in a stick of butter?

American recipes often ask for a "stick" of butter. Where I live, butter comes in pounds, and in recipes is measured in cups. So. Just wondering. How much butter is there in a "stick"?

maxcrash got it right...a "stick" of butter is 1/2 cup and many brands are further marked (on the wrapper) with tablespoon measurements.

There's a cool online converter site here that will convert butter or any number of other things from lots of various units (ounces, grams, liters, tablespoons, etc.) to any other conversion you may desire. Click here for the butter converter but you can find the main page from there:

Enough to make you sick if you east the whole thing. I dared my brother to do it once. He kept it down for about twenty minutes. Mom tried to kill us both.
