>Has anyone in the history of humanity ever been satiated eating popcorn? To be fair I know a few people who go to the movies and eat only a small bit, but most people I know can easily down an entire large bag and it'll have no impact on their appetite soon after.

I'll take this one. I actually 100% agree that list is useless, but an entire bag of microwave popcorn is extremely satiating to me. It's the perfect midnight snack IME because it is only 400ish Calories and yet takes up a large volume of space and takes a significant amount of time to eat.

That's not what satiated is really about though. Its like the other suggestions like watermelon. You feel full from all the water you just ate. And very soon after you will be hungry again and crave more sugar. Same with the popcorn. Soon after, maybe less soon than watermelon, sure, you will be hungry again. Meaning you definitely can go eat that burger and fries after the film. Not good ;) Eating that microwave bag slowly hopefully means you'll just go to bed before you're hungry but you definitely will be hungry again for breakfast. If instead you just had a huge steak in front of the TV (nothing else, just steak. If it's a good one, then no salt or pepper needed even, never mind a sauce) you will probably not want to eat again until lunch the next day. Unless your body is just always in sugar and carb craving mode of course. You'll have to get it out of that and get your system working properly again.
