1+1 apparently does not equal 2

The other night as I'm enjoying my Honey Flavored (as opposed to my beloved peach flavored) Lipton Pureleaf Iced Tea, I decided to check out the cals on this tasty little number. Now believe me when I say that I am NOT obsessive compulsive when it come to monitoring my calories. Have you witnessed by sweet tooth? If I was at all concerned with the number of calories I consume in one day the first thing I would worry about would be the amount of dessert I eat, rather than the calories on on iced tea. The real reason I was interested is because the other day someone at work mentioned that iced tea has more calories than diet pop. Since I don't drink diet pop, or any pop for that matter unless it's mixed with whiskey or rum, I really had no idea how many calories are in pop. Anyway, I decided to check out the number in my drink for the evening. Upon reading the label I discovered the honey flavored tea has 60 calories per 8 fl. oz. Per bottle, the caloric intake of the drink was 130 calories. So I flip the bottle over to see exactly how many ounces are in the drink and discovered that the bottle is only 16 oz.  60+60 equals 120, not 130. Math has never been, nor will ever be my strongest suit, and I am perfectly ok with that, but I am more than capable with simple addition. I thought perhaps Lipton made a mistake and I thought, wow, someone at headquarters must be hating themselves. However, upon examining the other bottles stocked in my fridge, they all had nutritional facts which did not add up. All I want to know is, where did those extra 10 calories come from? Or in the case of the raspberry flavored tea, how do you lose 10 calories in the second helping? 80 + 80 = 160, not 150!



For those of you wondering, Diet Pepsi has 1 calorie. So I'm sure you're just ingesting numerous chemicals which are probably soo much better for you than simple sugars.
