Since when is sugared popcorn a European thing? The only place I've seen non-salted popcorn is in the US.

I'm French and I did not know salted popcorn even existed until I went to the UK (other than salted butter caramel popcorn). I just asked for popcorn and always got sugared popcorn...

In the UK at least, at a cinema you'll choose between sweet or salt popcorn, you can get salt/sweet/mixed popcorn in supermarkets, and Butterkist toffee popcorn is a common thing

Sure, but sweet and butter/salt are equally available (literally, pretty much every brand does both) so to generalise that Europeans think sweet when thinking of popcorn is ridiculous.

Corollary: 50% of beers in the US are watery piss, so when Americans think of beer they think of watery piss.

In Belgium people will look at you funny if you ask for salt on your popcorn
