How do nutrition labels even work?

I have a bottle of flavored water (0.68 cents at Wal-Mart, because I’m worth it) and it has 3 servings. If you drink 1 servings worth, you get exactly 0 calories and 0% everything else. But if you drink all 3 servings, you get 10 calories and about 10mg of sodium. How is that possible? I know there’s sometimes really small amounts of things like sodium, but isn’t that usually denoted as “<0%”?

The FDA also allows anything under 1 gram of sugar to be labeled sugar free. Tic tacs actually have half a gram or so of sugar per tic tac, which is substantial for the serving size!
