Odd since popcorn is simply popped corn.

Just a few more tips from a grower; popcorn pops best about 13-14% moisture content so its best to seal the bag up with a twist tie or some other airtight container. Its nearly impossible to add moisture back to the kernal. At 70 degrees F and 30% relative humidity popcorn will come to an equilibrium moisture of 8.7% and that won't pop very well. Higher quality popcorn will have an abscense of scuffed kernals, few kernals with the tips broke off and be of large seed size with no small kernals, and have a bright shiny seed coat (no greenish tint). Any deep scuffs will hurt the pop. Resist the urge to buy white popcorn as it usually has less expansion and to me it has less flavor. Processors use it in the "light" microwave stuff as the public has a general preception it is "lighter" in calories, its basically the same.
Actually it's not, it is a specialty grain different from field corn and sweet corn.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Actually it's not, it is a specialty grain different from field corn and sweet corn. Look at the kernal and notice there is no dent and a smooth seed coat that makes it pop as the moisture inside the kernal expands when heated.
Actually it's not. The mentioned seed coat keeps the moisture from escaping and expanding creating pressure inside the kernal. Once the pressure inside over comes the failure point of the seed coat it pops. Thankfully this failure point is rather uniform in a batch of popcorn leaving us with only a few old maids depending on mode of popping. Typically in my experience a method using some oil is best, as it combined with the large surface area of the device (see Stir Crazy above) provide more uniform heating and fewer old maids.
Your initial statements go against each other. First it says that the serving size is 2tbs unpopped (about 5 cup popped) Then below it says amount per serving is 2 t unpopped 1 cup popped.
