Has anyone ever noticed that there is nutritional information on the popcorn box for microwavable popcorn for unpopped kernels and popped kernels. Popped kernels has less calories and fat. So why would we need to know how many calories and fat is in unpopped kernels? Who eats unpopped kernels?

Maybe some people are too lazy to cook them. Or maybe it's in case their microwave is broken and unpopped popcorn is the only thing left to eat in the house. Or maybe sometimes people don't microwave it right and some unpopped kernels remain. Maybe they're just putting out info for unpopped kernels because they're afraid someone might eat it and sue them for giving misleading nutritional data. (I'm just guessing at the reason here - I don't know if that's really why they do it.)

I like catching the popcorn when it pops out of the saucepan and into the air and so does my cat, he hits it with his paws its really funny. I sometimes give those bits to my friends without telling them (ooops!)
Popcorn is usually quite healthy but I like to melt jam and put it over the popcorn when its done as well as butter, salt and vinegar too. I think I make the best popcorn but its a little sticky and probably not very healthy for me. Like tonight, I just ate two bowlfuls and feel sick which is why I am up on mylot! at least every cloud has a lining!
I think unpopped kernels are pretty gross, I dont know how you eat these slitereturn! what if they pop inside your tummy cos the acid in there is hot and bubbly?!?!
