Popcorn pops because of small amounts of water in each kernel. As it is heated the water becomes steam causing it to pop. They don't all pop at the same time because it takes longer for steam to build up in some compared to others. Some may pop very fast while others go slower.

Additionally, microwave popcorn brands that offer "100% whole grain" or "premium" varieties tend to have a higher popping rate with fewer unpopped kernels.

No. The bags come in different sizes. Also, even if they are the same sizes, there is a reason why some bags can stay in the microwave and pop longer(because they have more kernels) and some are done in under a minute (because they have less kernels.)
