       | Really? Idk what the sizes are, but I looked up the weight of one
       | of those micro wave popcorn packages, which usually fill the bowl
       | we have at home. That seemed to be 100g, which is about ~350 kcal
       | not including oil/butter. I'm getting about ~275 for 100g of
       | bread, which is more than two slices. That's about 6 inches of
       | baguette.

         | Those microwavable bags generally contain multiple servings.

       | than popcorn.
