That Arctic zero really has 2x the calories?
They said they redeemed their test results and still are standing behind 150 cals..
but is it really actually more?
I love this stuff and could eat a pint in one sitting.

    I found this summary of a Today show investigation:

    "Our sample of Arctic Zero Vanilla Maple had a whopping 46 percent more calories than the label. The Chocolate Peanut Butter: an incredible 68 percent more calories.

    Arctic Zero told us its calorie counts are accurate. So we asked to see their test results — and we're still waiting."

    Artic Zero sounds too good to be true.

    never have, never will try the stuff.

    but it's been talked about on here before. the 2 things i recall from the discussions were:

    1) it tastes really awful to most people
    2) they were accused of lying on their nutritional labels. apparently the FDA(?) allows a certain margin of error in the numbers on the label and that company has been accused of deliberately using the lowest possible numbers on their label within that margin of error.
