Incorrect Prephrase: If I were to prephrase weaken this, I would say that most people are not willing to pay a high price because there is a smaller amount of people paying the 5X cost for microwave popcorn and that's why most sales come from there, but there is a greater amount of people buying conventional popcorn, its just so cheap that it doesn't make up most of the sales. This is why I chose A because I thought my prephrase mapped to this AC. I was actually focusing on making sense of the context and not directly weakening the conclusion here that many people are willing to pay a high price for additional convenience. Many is different from most.

Correct Explanation: A is wrong because just because the majority of people buy conventional popcorn, it could still be the case that many people are willing to buy microwave popcorn because it is more convenient. We need to always keep in mind the conclusion: convenience of microwave popcorn -> many people will pay a high price for it. This is a trap AC and is a great example of getting lost in the sauce. I got caught up in the numbers and percentages when all I really needed to see was that the stimulus was going from correlation to causation.

B introduces an alternate cause and effectively weakens. It's not the convenience that causes people to buy more, but the level of fat.
