Six pounds of margarine

Pray tell, what does one actually do with 6 pounds... oh, excuse me... 2.72 kg... of margarine? It looks like some type of industrial packaging--"The bearing lubricant is stored in disposable 6 lb containers, where it can be pre-loaded into the mechanism during operation. It has proven to be effective in severe operations caused by moisture or high temperatures." I saw this at the grocery store, and was deeply disturbed by it.
