Popcorn

Do you ever look at something and think, ‘really?”. This morning I was looking for a snack and pulled out a packet of Kettle Corn popcorn (salty and sweet). I was interested in how many calories were in a serving so I flipped over the box and saw this:
Amount per Serving:
2 Tbsp unpopped: Calories 180
1 cup popped: Calories 30
Now really? Who is going to munch on 2 Tbsp of unpopped corn? Who came up with that comparison? And just in case you are interested, popcorn has absolutely no nutritional value at all. Only lots of salt which sounds better when referred to as Sodium….it is just so yummy to munch on.
