So I just saw a commercial for the new "Lipton tea with honey" which said only 5calories. Well I am a big honey user and 1tbsp of honey is 60 so how much honey is in it as the name suggest it is one of main ingredients. Or are they mistellig calorie amount.

What foods do you question how many calories are really in It

    I venture to guess that they do not put a whole tsp. in each bottle.....

    I'm sure they don't of course but there has to be enough for taste plus other sweetners which I'm sure is more than that
