Does anyone else think this is weird?

It appears that getting into a crowded, overheated state causes the popcorn to lose weight AND look good in the process. There's a lesson in this somehow:)

Weird! I guess some residue is left on the bag??

Since I doubt anyone on the planet eats unpoppped popcorn kernels, I think that's very weird that they would list nutritional values for both. Popcorn sounds good to eat right now!

I think it is weird that serving sizes for every other food are so small that you have to double calories, fat, etc. when reading labels to get a reasonable idea based on how much you actually eat. (Cereal you have to at least triple.) But popcorn? Heck! Eat a whole freakin' bag.

You know, I never thought to look at the nutritional values on a bag of popcorn. And there's a very good reason. Thanks for sharing.

I assume this is microwave popcorn, with this assumption I'm inclined to think that microwaving food removes the fat and some calories, which leads me to believe that everything I put in that magic machine will come out lower in bad stuff. Think I can microwave chocolate chip cookies? Ice cream? Maybe I will microwave the wart off Chance's foot

so THAT's why they always come right out the other end! you're supposed to POP them first!

Sumo - I like your theory... I think I need to try it.

Weird. I wonder what employee thought to put that info on the bag like that. I guess it makes people feel good about themselves. I don't know. I feel grumpy though.

Lisa said...

Yes! And I've even wondered about that myself!

Fierce-Rabbit said...

Yes. That's weird.
