orville redenbacher is a liar.
Options
I'm pretty good in math, I was a math major. I'm also good at reading nutrition labels. But Orville Redenbacher is ~screwing~ with my head right now and I can't, for the life of me, see where my thinking is flawed. To me, this label is flat out wrong.
Amount Per Serving = "1 cup popped"
Servings Per Bag = "2.5"
Serving Size = "2 tbsp unpopped (makes 4 cups popped)"
WTF? I'm pretty sure 1 cup doesn't equal 4 cups.
How can Amount Per Serving ~not equal~ Serving Size? How much is in a freaking serving? 1 cup or 4 cups?
What am I missing?

Oh man, this hurt the right side of my brain!
But yeah, Orville you are messed up! 0 -
The popped and unpopped values mess me up too. WTF who eats raw popcorn ..... I know a pop 7.5 cup bag of the Smart Pop is only like 150 calories for the entire bag popped thou0

which could totally be true. but if a serving of unpopped is 2 tbsp (which makes 4 cups) the amount per serving magically becomes 25% of that? Then the unpopped serving size should be 1/2 Tbsp. heh. orvile sucks.0 -

thats why I eat more cotton candy than popcorn .... takes out the guesswork0 -
Maybe because not every kernal pops? Maybe....oh crap, I don't know, but I feel the same way. I just take the higher number of calories. Act II does the same.0

i thought of that too - but the damned thing says how much popped corn it produces. Ugh. I totally just take the higher calories too - but i'm one of those annoying people who need to know the WHY behind something or it continues to bug the **** out of me.0 -
it sounds like a misprint. because if you pour the popped popcorn out and measure it, there is no way that it will give you 4 cups. remember sometimes the computer that stamps it does get glitches. it's probably just a typo. so next time pop a bag and then measure it and you will know for sure. lol!0

I always just weigh out the popcorn once it's done. There's always a weight rather than volume measurement for the serving size!0

I think it's done on purpose just to drive you mad! I know it drives me crazy.0

buy the 100 calorie bags of smart pop.
pop it. eat it. log 100 calories. done.
(I used to have the same confusion as you do)
(and I saw the tea bag thread...your male coworkers are hilarious but mean at the same time.)
(and Carl, it's not as bad as you imagine....lol)0 -

Hahahaha, no I think the teabags are normal sized... I totally forgot about that one, although it had me in stitches yesterday. I think you should give your dear colleague a collection of finest tea... bags ^^
Think Starbucks mega bucket mugs ^^0 -

But THAT is my exact question ---> They have TWO values for a "serving" - 4 cups vs 1 cup.0
