We also use singular words when referring to the plural. Corn is a perfect example. Corn is the singular and the plural.
So using “them” when referring to corn (or in this case popcorn) makes sense. There are multiple kernels and with “them” being a plural pronoun it fits.
No? I don’t buy handfuls of popcorn. I buy a bag of popcorn. It’s a single transaction for a single line item. Nobody says “them”. Why are you still trying to defend this? People do not talk like this.
You yourself just referred to it as a “bag”
Yeah but it’s like the difference between a shirt and a pair of pants.
Pants are one singular item yet we use a plural word to describe them.
Are you trolling? Nobody says popcorns.
No this is just an example of the opposite.
