Can anyone explain to me why a small bag of 100 calorie popcorn actually has more calories than a regular size bag? I shop at Aldi and their movie theater butter popcorn has 3 servings per bag (popped). Each serving is 30 calories equaling out to be 90 calories for the entire bag. Am I missing something? I feel cheated ha.

    Can you take a photo of the Nutrition Facts labels for both products and post them so we can compare them?

    So the serving size for the movie theater butter popcorn is only one cup? That doesn't sound right. Usually, lots of math has to be done with the bigger bags of popcorn. Take the calories for one cup of popcorn, multiply by how many cups in a serving and then multiply that by how many servings in the bag (if you plan on eating the whole bag).
