Why do movie theaters sell popcorn with extra salt and salted butter?

They sell that because some people like popcorn with a lot of salt and butter and some like very little of salt and butter

More variety of a product usually attracts more paying customers, so if one person likes only salt and no butter but the other likes extra butter and no salt, they can both enjoy their own kinds of popcorn- which brings double the revenue than both consumers sticking with regular and not enjoying it. Hope it helped!
