Do people here not always have an open pack of butter in their fridge?

For my part: Only around christmas-time, as it's the only time I bake.

We have salted butter for the table, and unsalted for baking. We don't bake often enough to want unopened packs if we can avoid it.

Pre-salted butter is another weird American thing that's completely unnecessary. Butter is also great for cooking and you can keep it for months in the fridge without issues.

It's much easier finding unsalted butter in the US than in Portugal.
In fact, unsalted butter has been the default everywhere I've lived in the US.
Edit: not to mention, say, salted butter being a point of pride for Britany.
