I splurge and buy Pop-secret or Market Pantry popcorn because I hat unpopped corn so much. You cannot compare the weight of popped popcorn to unpopped popcorn because the popping process turns the moisture in the kernals into a gas, which breaks open the kernel and dissipates. Since there are 2.5 servings in the bag, then you should multiply the 160 by 2.5.
