You're probably right (sorry I was so quick to disagree with you before; I'm used to people saying Splenda is Sucrolose, and didn't think further). Here's a link to part of the label info I found:

If it's 0.5g of carbs for a 0.5g teaspoon then what you say would seem right.

What you'd be paying for though would be the sweetener part (Sucralose) which as Z3RO-Cool rightly said would make any drink you try to make to give a large amount of maltodextrin VERY sweet. You also may get into health concern issues over consuming that much Sucralose.
