Serving Sizes Are Often Bogus. A Vending Machine Cola Bottle Says 2.5 Servings. Right!?!
I'm not defending a claim such as larger serving sizes are justified - because that's not it. It's just certain foods and drinks are fully known to be one complete serving (no one eats 6 chips out of a small bag, they'll eat the bag). Yet the sellers continue to put ridiculous serving counts on the label so their calories and stats per serving will look lower. Why are they allowed to? Who measure's 2.5 servings out of a bottle - here's Billy's, Jan's. And the 1/2 to Timmy?!?

Yep, the 40 ounce soda they sell are 550 calories at any fastfood restaurant. Its just the ignorance of the consumer and the burden is on them.

Straight up lies partner! You cannot save a coke for 3 days without it getting dry! It's adjusted for health and calorie count. Now you know soda is that bad for you. Coke is used to clean dry blood off the street from accidents
