Why do the calories not add up on the back of the Hagen-Dazs mini box?

Question

There are 6 ice cream bars and for 1 it lists 180 calories, for 2 350, for the whole box 1060. It isn’t adding up? What is the explanation for this?

Answer 1

The FDA requires calories to be rounded to the nearest 10 per serving, unless the total number of calories is very small, in which case they have the option of rounding to the nearest 5.

If each ice cream bar has 177 calories, that would round to 180 for a single bar.

Two bars would have 354 calories, which rounds to 350.

Six bars have 1,062, which rounds to 1,060.
