I ate so much popcorn in college, I can barely stomach the stuff now.

First of all, popcorn is a great dorm food because it's so easy. Just through it in the microwave, and it's done in a minute or two. Second, is storage. One box of microwave popcorn takes up an incredibly small amount of shelf space compared to how much popcorn you get out of it, and storage space is extremely limited in most dorm rooms.

Popcorn is a great dorm food. The only downside is when somebody else on the floor would put a bag in the microwave, walk away, and would proceed to burn the popcorn well enough to ruin the smell of the whole floor.

Great when you have a night of studing and don't want to eat too much, I like the little packets just anough for me, also good if you get some free time to watch a movie with.
