The sweet one says 60 calories a cup, and on the back it's 2 cups = 28g for 120 calories, but for the white cheddar one, it's 40 calories a cup, but on the back it says 3 cups = 28g?? which one is correct??

Sweet One has 60 calories per cup, but the nutrition info on the back is for a 2-cup serving, which is why it says 120 calories. The other one has 40 calories per cup, but the serving size listed is for 3 cups, also totaling 120 calories. Basically, the front of each package shows calories per cup, but the serving sizes/calories differ. The package is correct. It varies because it’s two different flavorings & ingredients used.

This will sound like an insult but I promise you it’s not, we really need to do a better job teaching people how to read nutrition labels. I am a teacher and most students have no idea how to do so.

They’re both correct. The products are different. The sweet one has sugar on it, so it’s literally more dense (grams per cup) than the other one. Sugar is heavier than popcorn. That’s why it’s more grams per cup and more calories per gram.
Each product is correct for itself. You can’t use the nutrition info for one product to think about a different product. They both contain some popcorn in addition to other ingredients, but they are not the same food.

If you have a scale, you can see that one weighs more than the other. The sweet 60 cal one is probably heavier coated with sugar while the other one is lighter per piece of popcorn. So if you measured out up to 28 grams for both types, the 60 calorie one will equal 28 grams from ~2 cups of volume of popcorn while the 40 calorie will equal the same 28 grams from 3 cups of popcorn.

what’s heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks? they both weigh the same — a pound. but a pound of feathers is going to take up a lot more space than a pound of bricks 🙂
