Okay, all. I know someone has to have something to say about this. Here's my friend Rachel's popcorn box information.
Orville Redenbacher's Tender White
Serving Size: 2 Tbsp unpopped (makes about 4 cups popped)
Servings per bag: About 2.5
Calories in 2 tablespoons of unpopped popcorn: 180
Calories in 1 cup of popped popcorn: 40
The math here doesn't work either! If 2 tablespoons of unpopped popcorn equals 4 cups popped, and 1 cup popped equals 40 calories, then ONE serving size should equal 160 calories. But, under calories, it indicates that 2 tablespoons unpopped equals 180 calories. Where do the other 20 calories come from??
And, again, why do we need to know how many calories are in a serving of unpopped popcorn??
GAAAAHHH!!
I encourage you to check out your popcorn box.
