Despite the 'less than 2 calories per mint' claim on some Tic Tac packaging, each peppermint tic tac actually contains around 1.9 to 2 calories. This surprising fact reveals the intricacies of food labeling laws and the minor but present caloric content in even the smallest candies.

According to USDA data, 100 grams of fresh spearmint contains approximately 44 calories. While this amount is rarely consumed in a single serving, knowing this figure provides a clear perspective on just how low in calories mint leaves are, alongside their rich nutritional content.
