The idea of salted butter was originally to be able to sell the butter 
longer.  If the butter has gone off (rancid) a little, salting it hides 
that.  So a lot of people refuse to buy salted butter, figuring that if 
it's unsalted, they *know* whether it's good or not, and they can always 
salt it themselves if they want.
