Americans are notorious for eating things that the rest of the world find completely vile.

Foreigners have picked on our love for favorite pizza topping (pineapple), mom's comfort dish (meatloaf) and even our favorite ballgame snack, chicken wings.

Melted butter optional.

Graduate Goes Viral For Refusing To Shake Principals' Hands After They Did Nothing To Stop Her Being Bullied
