Math by marketing people

Ad on vegetable juice can reads:

2 FULL SERVINGS OF VEGETABLES
Per Can*

On the back of the can it says:
* 11.5oz provides more than 1 cup vegetables.
Daily recommendation = 2 1/2 cups of vegetables for a 2,000 calorie diet (USDA MyPyramid).


How big are those "servings" and "more than 1 cup"?

Кажется все правильно: хочешь получить 2к каллорий - ещь 2 1/2 cups (=Cans?).
