8 grams in 1 cup of popped popcorn
1-oz. net weight (approximately 2-1/2 cups of popped popcorn).
Oh, dude, you're really asking me to do math right now? Alright, fine. So, a 50 lb bag of popcorn usually has around 800 cups of unpopped kernels. But like, who's really counting when you're just trying to watch a movie, am I right?
The number of popped popcorn kernels in 5 cups can vary depending on the size of the popped popcorn, but on average, one cup of popped popcorn contains about 30 to 40 kernels. Therefore, in 5 cups, you would typically find around 150 to 200 popped kernels. Keep in mind that this is an estimate, as the actual number can fluctuate based on how the popcorn was popped and the specific variety used.
