Orville redenbacher ultimate butter popcorn calories per bag

Orville Redenbacher's Ultimate Butter nutritional label tells me this:

How many calories are in a whole bag of Orville Redenbacher microwave popcorn?
How many calories in a whole bag of butter popcorn?
How many servings are in one bag of Orville Redenbacher popcorn?

Serving size: 2 Tbsp unpopped
    (makes about 5 cups popped)
Servings Per Bag: about 2.5

Calories     2 Tbsp Unpopped   1 Cup Popped
                     170                     25

So:

1 bag x 2.5 servings/bag x 2 Tbsp/serving x 170 cal/2 Tbsp

My handy calculator says that's 425 calories per bag. But wait!

1 bag x 2.5 servings/bag x 5 cups/serving x 25 cal/cup

That comes to 312.5 calories! There's a heck of a lot of difference between 425 calories and 312.5 calories per bag. Which should we be using?

Other brands similarly list both by Tbsp and cups, and calculating the calories via the two different routes gives similar discrepancies. Pop Secret HomeStyle gives 540 and 420 calories when using the Tbsp and cup data, respectively.

Jolly Time Blast O Butter is a bit better. The numbers are 450 and 472.5, so the gap is a lot smaller (interesting that it is the cup calculation that is larger, whereas it is the Tbsp calculation that is tops for the other two).
