Yes, but only if you pop it in a pure oil like olive oil on the stove. No butter or salt. Human grade salt is not safe for them (because of the anti-caking agents and chemicals) and there are chemicals in microwave popcorn as well.
Hermit crabs need both dechlorinated fresh water and ocean salt water (made from an ocean salt mix meant for salt water aquariums), not "hermit crab salt" which actually contains none of the nutrients the crab needs that are provided by ocean water.
Also, they do not prefer to drink from sponges. Give them a dish of water they can climb into (and out of) and partially or fully submerge, and you will never need to bathe them, either. They will take care of themselves.
Food for hermit crabs should NOT be commercial crab foods. It is increasingly more well known that hermit crabs can live much longer than most pet stores seem to realize, and the foods provided by pet stores and food manufacturers contain chemicals and preservatives that are harmful, slow toxins for hermit crabs. The preservative Ethoxyquin has been found to cause molting abnormalities in hermit crabs.
Hermit crabs eat a huge variety of foods, and do need an extremely varied diet containing proteins, chitin, calcium, cellulose, and zeaxanthin. They also need a seaweed source in their diet. Spirulina is an excellent, easy seaweed to supplement their diet with, just sprinkle it over their daily fresh foods.
