The mystery of net carbs, the most redundant name in human history and inexplicable online gaming, all in a bottle of 4C iced tea

In our recent pantry purge, I found this container of 4C iced tea mix. Note that the packaging indicates that contains 4 grams of net carbs per serving.

Net carbs?

Does a serving actually contain 5 net carbs, but the manufacturer assumes you will burn at least one carb stirring the stuff?

 

Naturally, I found myself wondering what 4C stands for while writing this post, so I did a little digging and found this explanation:

The name 4C, as in 4C iced tea and other products, comes from when the founder John Celauro opened up an Italian specialty store with 3 other immigrants who also had their last names begin with the letter C. The sign on the storefront read 4CCCC. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Celauro decided to change it to 4C.

I like how the company’s explanation deliberately excludes the obvious:

Mr. Celauro realized, after much mocking by his friends and neighbors, that the number 4, followed by four C’s, was quite possibly the most redundant name ever plastered on a store front in human history.

Perhaps in an attempt to make up for this omission, the 4C company has “developed a few games that will challenge your mind as well as your skills” and included them on their website.

I invite you to check them out here.

Doing so will most assuredly provide more hits to this page than the last three years combined, but most importantly, I would love for someone to present me with a scenario in which either of these two (not a few) games were actually found and played by anyone save the developers of these games and their guinea pig-like children.
