    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.
