OT: The Worst Drink in America 2010

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

Cold Stone PB&C (Gotta Have It size, 24 fl oz)
2,010 calories
131 g fat (68 g saturated)
153 g sugars
Sugar Equivalent: 30 Chewy Chips Ahoy Cookies

In terms of saturated fat, drinking this Cold Stone catastrophe is like slurping up 68 strips of bacon. Health experts recommend capping your saturated fat intake at about 20 grams per day, yet this beverage packs more than three times that into a cup the size of a Chipotle burrito. But here’s what’s worse: No regular shake at Cold Stone, no matter what the size, has fewer than 1,000 calories. If you must drink your ice cream, make it one of the creamery’s “Sinless” options. Otherwise you’d better plan on buying some bigger pants on the way home.

They always say that these things are bad for your health, but a lot of food deaths or poisoning come from fruits and vegetables.

That's probably because most of those fruit/veggie deaths were the direct result of insertion not ingestion.

Can I get me four litres of Gulf of Mexico crude? My car is due for an oil change.

And the government worries about what oil french fries are fried in? Like IPW said people die from eating fruits and veggies as well. They will regulate everything we eat. If people want to eat this crap and self destruct so be it, you can probably find something wrong with just about everything we eat and drink. That includes our drinking water.

Be careful dash, That Mexican crude will turn your car into a Toyota and give it the runaway runs.

You can tell how much of a sweet tooth I have when I say this, but I think you and I have different definitions of the word "worst."

That said, even I know not to mess around with milkshakes. They concentrate a lot of calories into a small volume, so you can consume a lot more than you would think.

I thought we were trying to make healthier foods? How come now we are seeing stuff like this, the double down, and the ihop pancake stacker all of a sudden?

 

[bonham]

Key word in bold.

of course

I agree. Yeah if you have one of these every day it's obviously going to affect your health, but drinking one of these isn't going to kill you.

That looks gross... where's the damn whipped cream??

 

[loki604]

I eat three of these a day! And I can still get up out of motorized chair if I really want to!!!
