    - servings per bag 3, servings per package 9


    - amount per serving (calories) - packaged 100 calories - 1 cup popped 20 calories

      You don't eat unpopped popcorn so forget about that. I never understood why they put that on there.

      1 bag = 3 servings
      1 serving = 4 cups
      1 cup = 20 calories
      3x4 = 12 cups
      12x20 = 240

      Someone check my math

      Or it says a serving is 100 calories and there are 3 to a bag so that would be 300 calories per bag. Kind of confusing information on the bag then.

      This is why I buy the 100 calorie single servings and be done with it.

      Yeah, I wasn't sure what that was.

      Put down 275 and call it a wash

      You said 100 calories per serving? and 3 servings per bag? and you ate an entire bag? That would be 300 calories.
