It's advertised as being no-calorie. So to me--with my decidedly old math skills--that means ANY AMOUNT contains no calories.

Makes no sense, but I like it!
So I'm drinking a different flavor, Tangerine Lime, of the same brand of water as in the OP, and look what I noticed (it's on the right--the original flavor, Orange Creme, is on the left):
This new math continues to confuse me!
In the original case:
Calories per serving = 0
Servings per container = ≈3
Calories per container = 15
In the second case:
Calories per serving = 0
Servings per container = ≈3
Calories per container = 10
Thoughts?

That's Joy Noelle. She's exceptionally bright, so you may be on to something.From the way the kitteh is studying the bottle, I think you may there find an answer...
Obviously the new one is using a smaller zero than the old one.This new math continues to confuse me!

It's easy to prove that not all zeros are the same:
1) If you divide 1 by 0 the result is infinite. So if we invert this, the result of dividing by infinity is 0.
2) Any mathematician will tell you that some infinities are bigger than others. For example, incrementing a number by 1 is equivalent to incrementing it by 1/2 twice, so as there are an infinite number of integers there must be twice as many multiples of 1/2.
3) So we divide by a larger infinity we must get a smaller 0.
And that's clearly what they've changed in the last few months.
One of those three statements is true. Two are sleights of hand based on common misunderstandings or shortcuts.
Love it!Obviously the new one is using a smaller zero than the old one.

Smaller zero, of course...
Charmin! That's my TP.
Charmin math should not be difficult. If you choose regular Charmin (which I haven't in eons), you get X squares of paper. If you buy their Mega rolls, each roll gives you 4X paper. Super Mega rolls give you 6X. So:
- 1 original roll = X sheets
- 1 Mega roll = 4X sheets
- 1 Super Mega roll = 6X sheets
Therefore:
- 4-pack Mega = 16 original
- 4-pack Super Mega = 24 original
- 6-pack Mega = 24 original
- 6-pack Super Mega = 36 original
And so on.
But! The numbers in the photo don't add up!
(They also don't match the packages we buy (Mega or Super Mega), whose calculations are correct. Are the pics from outside the US?)Now I must ponder Charmin math AND zero math...
Oh, no!Well, here’s one point that they dovetail - if you look at a TP roll end on, it’s a zero...
Is that a big zero or a small one?
I'm thinking...medium?

I kind of wondered the old age antie "Never trust anything you have read" makes me wonder, if you read and believe in everything, then why does it always lie to other people, why we must lie to each other like that instance? Maybe there is a hotline for the world of errors? Could of be the hackers own fault??
