I'm afraid... Sugar is greatly involved in the brewing process... And contributes a great deal to the flavor of the beer- I doubt we can find no calorie beer that tastes good.

yeah... but at least you have found a beer that not only will I drink... but that I like... oh boy... did i get us off topic?
 
Ok, since we are off topic - PFH has a "groovy" new avatar!!

Ok, it is misleading too, false advertising and really bad math on the bottle.
 
I wonder why they did it? I don't drink Dr. Pepper, but I always read labels, so I would have been puzzled by the error.

And also less inclined to buy their products if they think I am stupid and want to mislead me at all.
 
Advertising the "TEN" calories in big letters would make you think that the whole bottle is 10 calories. Then when you look at the label - hmm, "one serving" is indeed the whole bottle, but...then you read the front of the bottle more carefully - "oh, per 8 ounces...", then back to the rear label - "so, 20 oz. is hmm, what? 20 calories? That doesn't seem right..." Quickly counting on fingers - "nope, they're wrong."

So - in my ever-so-humble opinion, they screwed up on several counts. If they advertise "TEN" in great big flaming letters, that should be "per serving" if they want to stick to 8 ounces, so the back label should say that 20 oz. bottle is 2.5 servings.

Sigh... Someone should have proof-read the thing more carefully, but there ya go. Wonder how long it will take before it's corrected.

There's a bottling plant here in Jacksonville...

And that makes most cans (12 oz) 1.5 servings, I thought this went illegal...

That the advertised calories of effect had to be per serving and per container...

So either they are adding water to the larger bottles (ick) or they can't count...

would '15' really have mattered that much for a can and just called it ....DP 15...

So with that reasoning I have some sugar packets with 2.5 grams sugar each, real sugar 0 calories per serving, one granular piece per serving, approx 200,000 servings or more per container...

PFH - you mean to tell me that beer tastes GOOD? :shock: :P
 
Nah! It's just another corporate attempt to hornswoggle individuals into thinking, "Hey it's only twenty calories, I can drink it", so when mathematics people & Gov't complain about it, the corp claims plausible deniability and says it was just rounding error by their computer. :lol:
