According to the USDA, a teaspoon of prepared yellow mustard contains only about 3 calories, yet many bottles list "0 calories" on their nutrition labels. This discrepancy often leads people to wonder how come mustard is 0 calories, exposing a common misconception about nutrition labeling in the food industry.

Despite advertising that often emphasizes a 'low calorie' count, a single Tic Tac mint contains approximately 1.9 to 2 calories, depending on the region. This differs from the '0 calorie' label sometimes seen, which is a result of a legal loophole based on small serving sizes.
