Corrected entry: When the witches follow Mary into the alley after singing I Put A Spell On You, Mary Sanderson said she smelled Scrod, a bottom feeder that would be good with margarine. 300 years prior to that, butter would be the topping of choice as margarine hadn't been invented until the 1800s, when the sisters were dead.

Correction: Mary watched 10-30 minutes of television commercials at "The Master's" house earlier in the evening, so she could have learned about it from TV.
I half agree. Even witches can learn anything from TV. But some how they would have put something in the script to say that.

Hocus Pocus (1993)
Corrected entry: The sisters were only supposed to be back on Halloween night. When Max, Allison and Dani woke up it was November 1st, so the Sanderson sisters shouldn't have been alive.
Correction: It wasn't sunrise yet - Winifred said as soon as the sun comes up they're dust.

Correction: She doesn't say margarine. She says marjoram, which is a herb.
The official subtitles on a retail copy of the movie says "margarine."
I agree she did say margarine; though it should be pointed out a subtitle should never be used as confirmation to what a line is saying. Just about every movie has incorrect subtitles at some point as the script is not used to create the subtitles. It is determined by watching and going off the audio ridiculous as it is.
The mistake is correct. She does say margarine, not marjoram. She even follows this up with "Or oil. Olive oil works", so she's talking about cooking with some sort of fat, not an herb.
