      They use artificial sweeteners. How would it be faulty advertisement?

      Yep, just bolded for emphasis. I suspect they can say Sugar Free with the fruit juice because it's such a small amount it qualifies to be rounded down to zero.

      You missed the Maltitol - a sweet sugar alcohol. :smile:

      Yes, sugar alcohols contribute a small amount of calories.

      Lately, they all seem to say 5 calories. In every store I buy them in. I haven't seen 10 calories in at least 6 or more months.

      I recently bought a couple 4 packs of the lime and they say 10.
