* You'll notice that if you do the math on
many of these, the total caloric value 
is lower than the calories that should be
in the sugar alone, if sugar has 4 calories
per gram. We don't know if they used 
"low calorie" sugar; we just used the data
on the nutrition label, and assumed that
sugar accounted for 100% of the calories.
This was common for beverages but not
other products.
