There is 5 servings of 1.5 cups per bag of popped microwave popcorn making that 7.5 cups per bag.

15 cups of pop corn is .93 gallons

3 in a box so thats 22.5 cups per $2 box or a gallon and a half

So then almost 4 1/2 boxes would make the 6 1/2 gallons of popcorn at $2 a box thats $9

My thoughts of a 6 1/2 gallon bag of pop corn for $20 s not a buy then at all is it?

Or did I mess this whole thing up somewhere in my math and if so please help me :D

Were talking carmel corn BTW not just regualr popcorn ;)

Yes but you pay extra for not having to pop the popcorn. Ya see. Plus, doesn't it come in a nifty holiday novelty tin?

Well other asshats here thought it was more thoughtful of them to start making fun of my wife and got the thread locked. I had to re word it in hopes to get my answer I am looking for. I H8 the stuff. I like non messed with butter and salted popcorn. Anything else on popcorn is just not right.

Like fruit on Pizza, thats is just an insult.

Your answer was wrong though:

For $20 your wife could buy 30 bags which yields 50 servings or 15 cups.

15 cups is about 0.93 gallons.

For the same amount of money, $20, you could buy 6.5 gallons which is about 7 times as much.

Your saying that for $20 I would get 15 cups of the microwave popcorn. But there is supposedly 5 servings of 1.5 cups each per bag. Thats 7.5 cups per bag and 23.5 cups per $2 box (3 bags in a box). Unless I am missing soming and my math is off thats around 1 1/2 gallons of popcorn for $2 then what you said of 15 cups of popcorn for $20.

Again I stated I am not that great with math in the begining so if I am wrong I will admit it but please tell me where my problem lies so I can under stand it better if I figured it out wrong.

Eh, we werren't really poking that much fun at your wife, although I guess I could see how you took it personal.
Usually when people talk about buying 6.5 gallons of food, jokes will come out.
