Well, most couples would share one bag, and in this context specifically, it would also be awkward wording even if that's what they meant.
But yes you could in some context obviously also talk about bags of popcorn as "them".

And at the same time they aren't referring to anything individual about them. Struck me as a non native English speaker writing a bit improperly
