Silly Popcorn calorie question
I think I have over thought this too much, plus numbers send me in a tizzy. I sometimes eat the Orville Reddenbacher Natural popcorn. The box says that 1 cup popped is 30 calories.

Diet coke sugar free ice cream float, LOL!
The entire company decided to do a coke float day. I didn't want to be left out so I bought some sugar free slow churn ice cream (90 calories for 1/2 a cup) and added some diet coke. It is REALLY good for only having 90 calories. I usually don't drink soda's, but this was totally worth it as a treat!
