Oh, and how much is a "stick" of butter?

 Being a Canadian professional in the food industry and having lived in both the United States (Florida, California both) and here in Ontario I can explain what and why a "stick of butter" is.

In the US of A they like their extra packaging. Instead of the grease proof paper or recycled thin foil theirs often comes in a cardboard box with 4 equal "sticks" of butter (1/4 lb) Imagine if you will your regular pound of butter unwrapped standing on end so it's taller rather than wider. Now if you were to cut it twice in a cross so that you have four long sticks of butter.

The purpose is so that it fit's nicely on a butter tray. Each lb has 4 sticks. They also measure it that way in recipes. We Canadians have markings on the outside of the package to denote measurements so we can cut just the right amount for a recipe.

Even better, could you tell me how many grams there are?

My butter does not list grams, but if your butter comes in a 1 pound package, with 4 sticks, then one of those is 1/2 pound. you cand do aconversion to find out grams. there are many places online thay you can find that information.

So a stick is just one of those standard rectangular cube-ish things?
