yay!
Well, this implies that it had negative calcium before xP
It doesn’t take calcium away… Just doesn’t exist.
<3<3<3<3<3
Now with 200% more calcium. Well, shit, while were are at it, it has 200,000,000% more calcium.
antimatter food!!!
sounds yummy
and exlosiony
it actually says theres calcium pantothenate in the ingredients… which means, there is calcium
and the arrow is pointing to the percentage of calcium needed in a 2000 cal. diet
Don’t you mean that is is pointing to the percent of your daily calcium that you will get from eating one serving this product?
dude, it’s just that the syrup doesn’t have calcium. Even though it has calcium pantothenate, it doesn’t have enough to merit a full percentage. This just means that it has less than 1% (there’s very little, that’s why it’s the last ingredient in the list….ingredients are always listed in order of how much is present in the food)
They do this a lot with cereals and drinks that you add milk. For example, on a sugary cereal it’ll say it provides calcium but it is just from the milk really
think fake butter. they all wanna say 0% trans fat, it just means there is less then 1%
x2
Kind of a weak fail.
Packaging? Sure. All the same, it is about time that someone developed some bedroom syrup that’s good for bone.
Yesterday it was young nuts, today it is bone syrup. What on earth could be the next thing to come?
*pours bone syrup, young nuts and bacon lube in shaker*
:devil:
:wicked: ?
I give up.

:demon:
*psst, cap’n! The smilie is
Just put “evil” between two colons!*
Or
. That’s “twisted” between two colons.
Sounds painful.
would have been funnier if you said “Oh thanks general, i will try that now… ::devil::”
I’ll give you a call when I need a new scriptwriter.
Mostly, I was thinking :licked:
:snorked:
From who?
:snorted:
It has that great taste of Calcium you’ve come to love, without any actual Calcium!
Caution! May contain traces of Calcium!
Made in a factory where calcium is processed, or at least occasionally contemplated.
4rth!
Zero%th
FALSE ADVERTISING
Or incorrect nutritional facts, considering that the list of ingredients includes Calcium Pantothenate (which may contain calcium).
That’s a bit like saying alcohol may contain water since the alcohol molecule has HOH in it somewhere.
Ah, you were absent the day they covered the difference between elements and compounds in chemistry class, then?
No, early is right. an ionic compound will break down in the solution generated by alkaloidal chocolate sauce. it will partly become calcium ions and therefore be ingested as calcium.
also, the PDV info does not list calcium because a value is not well established and may be less than 1% OF YOUR DAILY INTAKE, not of the calcium in the bottle.
i guess you were absent the day they covered reading in kindergarden?
I was going to leave a comment about the arrogant and facetious comment this scientitian made, but I’m sure he’s too busy putting the world to right to read it.
earlybath / chem degree nailed it. failblog fail
I guess YOU were not in KINDERGARTEN the day they taught how to spell KINDERGARTEN! you fail at spelling
I guess YOU were busy making inane corrections on the internet the day they taught that Kindergarten literally means “Children’s Garden” in German.
Despite all of this, does the label not say that you would get 0% of the “daily recommended amount” of calcium? I’m not interested in fanning the flames, I honestly am trying to figure this one out here. Admittedly I’m no chem major, but I did get a undergrad degree in english. Are you saying that there is a certain amount of something that would possibly be considered “added calcium”, but that it still is not proven to rise above even hitting the 1% of DA mark?
If so I still think that’s misleading, at best, and a reasonable person or court would find this to be a problem.
Actually Calcium Panthenoate is a negligible source of calcium – it is listed as 10% panthenoic acid. as the molecular weight of calcium panthenoate is about 472 and calcium is 4 (and a daily allowance is 5 mg and this has 10% of that)
This means that is contains 0.5 mg of pantenoic acid, and that 40/472 of it is calcium or this means a serving contains less than four one hundred thousandths of a gram – less than the weight of a fingerprint and lower than the biological threshold for it to be absorbed (osmosis, something that chemists evidently don’t learn, mean that you would lose calcium drinking this solution rather than gain it as the concentration across a biologic surface (your gut cells) mean there is more in your body than in this syrup. It is a calcium leach not a source.
This is why CHEMISTS don’t actually know anything about the real world. BIOLOGY FOREVER!
That would be a good point, if only every membrane transport process in living creatures was purely osmotic.
But it’s not.
Get back to class, dipshit.
The listed ingredients also include “TRICALCIUM PHOSHATE” [sic]. Another fine source of calcium – though I would have preferred it to be tricalcium phosphate instead.
exactly this is the calcium source not Calcium Panthenoate,( something only a chemist would say.)
And the 0% of daily intake is out of a 39g serving. A spoonful of anything won’t contain a lot of anything at all…
Capcomcalcium
there’s probably only 2 or 3 calcium atoms in it.
The +Calcium comes from adding it to milk.
Paul stole your line.
for those uninitiated, calcium always refer to calcium ions.
Sheesh hongsy! I bet that must be quite some initiation.
The last time I used the term ‘periodic table’ was back in university, but it had nothing to do with chemistry.
+calcium is after you have added the milk
Ditto, the suggested uses for the syrup is to put it in a dairy product which has calcium already in it so would be redundant to put it in the syrup..
test test

um majus um majus
Whose fail is this?
The percent values are given as “Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet” and are based on a serving of 2 tbsp (39 g). The syrup might even contain extra calcium but the amount is such a tiny little bit that it doesn’t matter.
BTW, I am missing the labels “fat free”, “microwave ready”, “lite”, and “part of a healthy breakfast”.
Still doesn’t explain why they put the Swedish flag on it.
Perhaps it’s Swedish calcium?
that’s the bar code you idiot.
Now you’re SO off my list of potential screenwriters.
I hope you’re only playing the moron. Google the Swedish flag (as you obviously have no clue of what it looks like), then take a close look at the picture.
If your above comment was ironic, have a Hershey bar on me.
He’s not an idiot, but he plays one on FailBlog.
Even worse.
Mom?
Um… that’s a plus sign.
It says “+Calcium”, because they were apparently too lazy to write out “plus”.
I love that Calcium Pantothenate is the absolute last thing on the ingrediants list and yet the only thing that even remotely looks like it might contain any significant amount of calcium.
At 0%, not so significant.
Nutritional label fail. From Hershey’s website, they say 1 serving has 10% of your daily requirement of calcium: http://www.hersheys.com/products/details/syrup.asp?id=000000004947-000000004947
It’s fake
Is everyone missing the Tricalcium Phosphate on the third line…
It actually says “Phoshate”, but yes, the calcium is there…
forget that…it has high fructose corn syrup! you know what they say about that stuff…..
what do they say? that it’s made from corn? Doesn’t have artificial ingredients and like sugar, it is fine in moderation?
lolz.
Lolz – laughing out loud, and then…sleeping?
You youngsters and your slang!
*hobbles back to The Home*
*cremates Judy … for the lulz*
gross. i like how cocoa and sugar are the last ingredients that aren’t less than 2%. I want the first ingredients on my chocolate syrup to be sugar or cocoa not CORN!
so buy cocoa powder, sugar, and a blender
Oh come on, give these guys a break. At least it’s not the -2% calcium brand!
The fail is likely at the US FDA labeling rules. Anything under 0.5% is labeled as 0%. You can see the calcium parthenate in the ingredients list, so the calcium is there…but if the percentage in the serving size is less than 0.5% of the RA, it’s considered 0%.
Ya think that might be to discourage companies from putting trace elements of nutrients into processed foods in order to claim a “1%” score and market the product as healthy?
In sensible countries we list such a quantity as “Trace”, do avoid exactly this dilemma.
read the contents label it has calcium in it, it just might not be enough to be 1% of your daily needs.
if you look at the ingredients, it says calcium, the last one
Yep – epic fail and total carnage. Have a closer look at the ingredients: no vitamin A or C! That is nutrition info win – brand label fail indeed.
{No syrup contains calcium. We obtain calcium from dairy as part of our essential nutrients. I might not ascertain calcium found in chocolates.}
Of course, the truth is always hidden in fine print. How many of us are convinced about fine print? Only very few really.
And one last thing: the 2000-calorie diet basis has absolutely no influence on the nutrition info. What we primarily need is how much energy we get from it (in kilojoules, kJ).
Do you always go around talking to yourself?
No, he just can’t type all that he wants to say in one box. But I’m glad to see he is capable of using the ‘Reply’ button….some idiots in here create a whole new thread.
as fake as my prosthetic leg
Looks photoshopped and weak…made me hungry though.
I have the same bottle of choco syrup. same thing as this but the percentage says 10% not 0. bet u whited the 1 out =p
…the ingredients has calcium in it. they just screwed up the nutrition facts section.
I think that health claims for junk food should be prohibited. It implies that it’s healthful to eat this stuff, and that’s simply not true.
Firstly, it would be “healthy” not “healthful”. Second, it is not unhealthy to eat this. It is unhealthy to eat it in vast quantities, or excessively. It is also unhealthy if you eat food like this without anything else to satisfy nutritional needs.
“Junk food” is really only junk food if you only eat “junk food”. I enjoy Hershey’s Syrup occasionally in chocolate milk. There is nothing inherently unhealthy about that. You can eat more than lettuce and cabbage and remain healthy, you know…
It DOES half calcium, just not enough to be considered 1%. They rounded it to the nearest percentage, I guess. That or this is ‘shopped.
have*
This looks like it was shopped =/
fake. the real label shows 10% calcium. The substituted the label from a regular bottle.
Calcium Pantothenate probably has calcium in it.
As does Tricalcium Phosphate.
I’m not sure what the fail is here…
Now with twice the calcium! 2*0=0
One of the ingredients is tricalcium phosphate, which is a source of calcium. the nutritional info on the bottle is a typo, making it an official FAIL
photochopped chopped chopped
i bought the product
that’s not really a fail…the 0% calcium is under the “daily value” part of the packaging. that just means that the amount of calcium in the syrup is 0% of your daily value, not that there’s 0% calcium in it. so…yeah…it’s a fail that someone THOUGHT it was a fail.
No actually what they mean is that they added calcium to the list. they didn’t want to look bad in front of the other fat based sauces/drinks who all put calcium on their nutriment list
I don’t see the fail… if you use the product as suggested you will certainly add calcium to your diet.
Glurp!
“Fortified with vitamins” :
)
vit. A : 0%
vit. C : 0%
It’s fake. There is this thing called ‘google’. You can type in things and it generally takes you to something that will ‘tell you more about it’.
The +calcium version of this drek is listed as having 10 percent of your daily value.
Actually, you make a good point.
Note that one of the ingredients listed is tricalcium phosphate. That material can be used as a calcium supplement and is also found naturally in diary products.
Only In America!
That should be on Friends of Irony
The most likely disclaimer: Calcium applies when milk is added.
Which, of course, begs the question: why bother stating “plus calcium” if it’s ultimately the same product as the original Hershey’s syrup?
More than likely, it’s a marketing gimmick.
This is only possible in the USA! hahaha
100 % fail
WIN
It pays to read the label.
Wow. This was a fail post on a fail. Its says +Calcium, and if + means ADD that means calcium is ADDED when you put the syrup in the milk. Your not supposed to drink it plain…you ADD(+) the milk(calcium).
Ohhh this is a fail fail. MORE CALCIUM!!
La soculión es fácil. Lo han duplicado: 0 mg * 2 = 0 mg.
so it had like -3% calcium? lol
It’s a labeling fail. If you look at the Hershey web site they claim this product has 10% of your daily RDA of calcium.
you add calcium dumb ass. i believe the person who took this picture was a fail for not understanding how to read labels -__-
Rawr & Jen – you’re right.. this is Calcium Fail Fail. Whoever submitted it needs to learn how to read the back of a package!
jaja que cabrones
well thank god there’s no trans fats!
more than it was before
