Wow!

Out of curiosity I clicked on a link for the 30 worst foods in America. The amounts of fat and sugar in this drink is amazing and everything, but at this point not surprising. What astonished me was that this drink has 73 ingredients! Wow.

Baskin-Robbins Large Chocolate Oreo Shake
2,600 calories135 g fat (59 g saturated, 2.5 g trans)1,700 mg sodium263 g sugars
We didn’t think anything could be worse than Baskin-Robbins’ 2008 bombshell, the Heath Bar Shake. After all, it had more sugar (266 grams) than 20 bowls of Froot Loops, more calories (2,310) than 11 actual Heath Bars, and more ingredients (73) than you’ll find in most chemistry sets. Yet the folks at Baskin-Robbins have shown that when it comes to making America fat, they’re always up to the challenge. The large Chocolate Oreo Shake is soiled with more than a day’s worth of calories and 3 days’ worth of saturated fat. Worst of all, it takes less than 10 minutes to sip through a straw.

I was just watching a video the other day where the one guy from Baskin-Robbins was talking about how his uncle and father died of heart problems. He put 2 + 2 together and realized that ice cream is not good for you (they were eating it every day).
