:shock: Go and see the new product that came out from Dr. Pepper, only 10 BOLD calories and the plastic bottle is 20 oz

Go ahead and do math see if you find what's wrong in Dr. Pepper's math work?

TSK TSK TSK at Dr. Pepper!

Hint: Either Dr. Pepper can't do math right OR they lied that this bottle got less calories.

Maybe you can figure out from this picture below.

Or are Dr. Pepper trying to mislead sucker that this bottle only has 20 calories and drank actually 25 calories.
 
Its not that point, the point is it is not correct, and you think it is OK for corporate greedy to mislead just because it is only few units in general? I think NOT. Corporates should know better, same way with English, bad English makes corporate looks bad, same with bad math makes them look bad.

Oh!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I get it.
 
I agree with you, Diehardbiker. It's not that 5 calories is really going to make a difference to anyone; it's that the labels are supposed to be correct, and someone at Dr. Pepper made a foolish, second-grade math error.

If you want to be really depressed, read "Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences."
