Serving sizes are always a fucking joke.

Nutritional stats per 100g is the only way

Reminder: Pam Cooking Spray is zero calorie, zero fat, and zero carb

Because there are 746 Servings in a single can of Pam. A serving size of 1/4 a second - which is small enough I'm not sure most people could do it. Just enough to round down from a tiny fraction to zero.

Not a great example. Cooking spray is for making a pan or cover non-stick. You ingest very little of it.

You've obviously not spent enough time around gym bros. I have on multiple occasions overheard conversations about using it as a butter substitute because, "...it has no calories. "

Tell them it is just expensive canola oil and have them switch, knowing that canola has realistic serving sizes.

Tic-tacs say they are "sugar free" even though they're almost entirely made of sugar, they're just small enough that they fall under the report regulations.
