From no Calories, to Calories?
Hi, just joined the site, loving it just to say. Haven been cutting my Calorie intake in half since I started using almost 2 weeks ago. (Never new some foods had so many Calories)
Anyway my question is trying to wrap my head this bottle of Sobe Green Tea Lean I have. How is it that 1 serving (8fl oz.) is 0 Cal. Though the full bottle is 10 Calories. 2.5 servings (20fl oz). I mean wouldn't that technically make it 4 Calories per serving?

nutrition fact label loopholes
The requirements for numbers on a nutrition label are frustrating. If something has less than 5 calories per serving, labels are permitted to state "0" calories per serving. So your calculations are probably pretty accurate and technically they can get away with saying zero if the calories "per serving" are actually "4".
