    Sorry, Americans, but you are.

    The hot button issue this time? Not how to make a cup of tea. Not how often one should bathe... Oh no. It's butter.

    More specifically, non-Americans are finding out that citizens of the United States do not butter their bread when making a sandwich.

    Truly. Heinous.

    It all started when user @americanfille made a TikTok about making sandwiches for herself and her boyfriend.

    In it, she talks about how French people butter their bread/baguette/rolls when making a sandwich. "Literally just swab it on, no mayonnaise, no mustard, just butter". I can confirm that that is a very regular degular thing in the UK (and most of Europe), too.

    In fact, the very of idea of NOT buttering your bread when making a sandwich is ~sending~ British people. The news has rocked our office, to say the least.

    IDK about you, but butter is a critical part of a sandwich, and if you haven't tried it yet, do yourself a favour and change your life today!

    But the question remains...
