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.

But one of the most disturbing foods of choice in the eyes of non-Americans is every Americans' favorite movie theater treat.

Melted butter optional.
