Misleading Nutrition Facts?

I am having lunch with a friend. In front of me, there is a 12oz can of Cream Soda. It is really good.

This is NOT diet soda, yet it says serving size, one can, calories per serving 35! I thought something is wrong,, so I compared it with other brands and it is all over 130 calories.

Am I missing something here? The brand is Vess.


So anyway,, would anyone know what went wrong here?

I just looked it up on drinksmixer.com and it says 15 calories per OZ. That would be 180 calories! I'd say there is a labeling flaw big time!

I thought something was wrong,,, would High Fructose Corn Syrup as sweetener make a difference?

A difference as far as being less calories? NO! No matter what the "Corn Sugar" people say

From Wiki: "Some varieties, such as root beer and peach, have artificial sweetener in both the regular and diet versions"

Maybe they forgot to change something on their label design... lol

I think I will just say I had A&W Cream Soda in my food diary to be on safe side,, would you?
