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.

I thought learning the precise techniques for using a straw to evenly distribute butter in a large tub of movie theater popcorn was just a rite of passage.

But it's just Americans who leave films licking their oily fingers long after their popcorn tub is empty?

Apparently so.

Don't believe me?

Check out these Tweets that detail people's disgust at our favorite popcorn topping.

Melted butter optional.

Newsom Offers Scathing One-Word Response To 8 Democrats Who Caved And Voted With GOP To End Shutdown

California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the eight Democratic Senators who voted with Republicans to end the government shutdown by advancing a spending deal that notably omits an extension of expanded Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies.
