Me thinks we have discovered the guy who lubed Tom's bike for his wolf country tour.

Butter? Are you serious?
If your experimenting I'd guess that Chap stick would work better, lol.
Or how about some 45SPF lotion to keep the UV off your bike?

one drop of anchovy oil will result in a perfectly lubricated bicycle for your entire life
(10 pts if you get the reference)
on the serious side, i lubed my hub bearings with vaseline previously, and it worked perfectly fine.

Biological products don't lubricate very well either. It has to do with that biological aspect again. Because it's meant to be digested, it's more water soluble so it washes out easily, it also doesn't have the long chains that make petroleum greases so good at making stuff slide well.
Use a petroleum based grease. Your bike won't sell like a bad prono theater, it won't squeak as much and you won't have polar bears following you around

In a pinch i've used paintball gun oil. Lubes pretty well but gets nasty after several miles. I think i'd ride it dry rather than put food products in it though.

i jam my thumbs up and back into the tubes. this way i can point my fingers straight out in front to split the wind and attain an even more aero profile, and the usual fixed gear - zen - connectedness feeling through the drivetrain is multiplied ten fold because my thumbs become one with the tubing.
