Are you trolling? Nobody says popcorns.
No this is just an example of the opposite.
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.
I was saying 'popcorns'.....
