There's probably so little in there that it ends up being less than one calorie. At any rate, there's some point where "small" becomes "zero" according to the US agency that regulates food labelling.

I bought a box of Tic-tacs, or some similar small mint, in the US once, and idly read the label. "Ingredients: sugar, flavouring. Contains: sugar 0g". But there was an asterisk attached to the 0g, and in the footnote it said "Less than 0.4g". So I did the division, and the mints weighed 0.39g each. They did indeed consist almost entirely of sugar.
