It's like an anime convention...

Not a significant source of other nutrients.


Perhaps reading a blag isn't nutritious, but it always leaves me satisfied.


You're also biased.


I'm paid to be biased.


Anyway...today's status comes to you courtesy of the bottle of iced tea I drank this morning. And yesterday morning, for that matter.


Most mornings, it would seem.


The back of the bottle, as required by overbearing micromanagement federal government law, states the following nutrition facts, as it pertains to my tea:

  • Total Fat: 0g (0%)
  • Sodium: 0mg (0%)
  • Total Carb.: 0g (0%)
  • Sugars: 0g (0%)
  • Protein: 0g (0%)


  • Not a significant source of other nutrients.



Seems like pretty boring tea. Did it taste like water?


It tasted just fine...that's not the point. My issue stems from the fact that it's not a significant source of OTHER nutrients? It's not a significant source of ANY nutrients! We could have saved ourselves a whole lot of ink, if it had just stated:
"Nutrition facts: N/A"


It's a significant source of water.


Two full servings! It's also #1 in the ingredients.

You probably get more nutrients by eating the label.
