The smell is diacetyl. You might know it from wine or beer that wasn’t made with love.
As an escapee from valine synthesis, it is a common byproduct of vigorous fermentation.
i worked at a flavor company for a while and we used to sell huge 100kg barrels of diacetyl to popcorn manufacturers. molecule smells amazing
maybe you should start wearing socks
buttered popcorn?
My feet sweat quite a bit after a long day. No, I'm not fat. No, I don't eat a lot of buttered popcorn. But holy shit, my feet smell like fucking buttered popcorn.
