Mislabeling On Nutrient Lables at Grocery Stores

I came across a new product at the store that sounded too good to be true. It was cappuccino foam (Coffeehouse Classics is the brand). The label said:
Calories: 0
Totat Fat: 0
Choleserol: 0
Sodium: 0
Protiens: 0
Total Carbohydrates: 1
...diatary fiber: 0
...Sugars 1

I thought, wow, a calorie-free "milk" for coffee..awesome. but on closer examination, I discovered that the main ingredient is fat-free milk, which is really either 80 or 90 calories a cup, depending on which brand you buy. (It also has 130 mg of sodium and 8 grams of protein.) But they make the "serving size" so small (smaller than anyone would ever use in real life) so that they can make the calories zero. They make the serving size 2 tbs (6 grams). But when you use it in coffee, you will usually use somewhere between 1/4 and 1/8 of a cup, which is 10 to 20 calories. And if you use it liberly because you think it is calorie free, it could be as much as 40 calories per serving when it says ZERO on the label.

You think to yourself, well, zero calories times 8 servings is still zero...but it isn't, cuz they can round down by units of 5. so if they have 4 calories per serving times 8 servings it is 32 calories, but it says zero on the can.

I am wondering how many other foods have deceiving labeling practices?
