I emailed one of the popcorn companys and asked why they do that. If I get an answer I'll post it for you.

Looking at my package of "Movie Theater Butter" popcorn, it list :
2 Tbsp unpopped
1 Cup popped

I guess that would be because all you could handle is 2 Tbsp unpopped before the pain got to you Grin

Interesting 2 Tbsp unpopped has 170 calories
While 1cup has only 35 calories, OH! that is because 2 Tbsp makes 3.5 Cups when popped!!
Oh well, enough of the diet lesson:)
Hey do you know why farts stink? Grin

Maybe it's all that popcorn you stuff yourself with. Never touch the stuff myself. Shocked

PS. I got lost somewhere along the way with your logic. All this talk about popped, unpopped, first 2 Tbsp = 1 cup & then mysteriously 2 Tbsp = 3.5 cups makes my head hurt. ??? Tongue

The packaging list nutritional value for 2 Tbsp unpopped, and then a second nutritional value for 1 Cup popped

2 Tbsp makes 3.5 Cups when you pop it Wink

Kind of funny but I don't eat popcorn. I don't know why I have some?
Maybe in my mind I'm thinking I might actually have a date someday and she might like pop corn? Grin

Wishfull thinking ???

I'm still as confused as ever. Life's too short to worry about it. Roll Eyes

It strikes me that this popcorn you have stored away for an unlikely occasion could be well past its expiry date. It might even start popping on its own & make an awful mess. Shocked

I suggest dumping it would be safest. Grin

You take 2 Tbsp of un-popped pop corn, then cook it.
After cooking it will equal 3.5 cups.
I won't go into detail of what amount you get if all the kernals refuse to pop Grin

They say a picture speaks a thousand words.

Aha. Thanks for enlightening me, although that was not really necessary. All is now as clear as the proverbial mud. 8) Wink

If the packet is anything to go by that product is well past its best. I suggest dumping it forthwith if not sooner. Shocked

If you are refering to the edge, I ripped off the box, but it was expired so I popped it and feed it to the birds.

Which makes me ask, why is it you can feed rotten food to animals and they don't get sick?
Whereas if you were to eat it you would end up in the bathroom or hospital!

I suspect it's this obsession we have with sterilised food in hermetically sealed packaging these days. We've gone soft & it ain't natural. It wasn't like that when I was a lad. All the food was kept out in the open air & we didn't have a fridge - let alone a freezer. We didn't suffer from all these allergies they seem to nowadays either. My Mum used to say "You have to eat a peck of dirt before you die". I never knew exactly what that meant but a little dirt never killed anyone.That's my theory anyway. Roll Eyes

Keep up lad, keep up. Come to think about it, I'm not sure I know what we're on about myself. ???
That's nothing new & I'm used to it. Grin
