A 2,000-calorie milkshake that contains as much fat as 63 strips of bacon has been named as the worst drink in America.
Just one serving equals the recommended daily calorie intake for women and falls just short of the total for men.
The Cold Stone PB&C milkshake, made with peanut butter, chocolate icecream and milk, contains 68 grams of saturated fat and 153 grams of sugar.
"In terms of saturated fat, drinking this Cold Stone catastrophe is like slurping up 68 strips of bacon," the magazine said.
Made with chocolate ice cream, milk and peanut butter, the shake packs a whopping 131 grams of fat – 68g of which is saturated – and 153g of sugar. It would take 240 hours on a treadmill to burn this puppy off. Just think about that. 240 hours. That's ten days.
It beat McDonald’s Triple Thick Chocolate Milkshake – at 1,160 calories, the equivalent of 13 McDonald’s apple pies – to top the list of the Men’s Health magazine’s 20 Worst Drinks in America.
‘Health experts recommend capping your saturated fat intake at about 20g per day, yet this beverage packs more than three times that into a cup,’ the magazine said.
The second worst drink in America was listed as the Peanut Power Plus Grape from Smoothie King with a large cup packing 1,498 calories and the same amount of sugar as 20 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups chocolate and peanut butter snacks.
McDonald's large Triple Thick Chocolate Shake came in third with 1,160 calories or the equivalent of 13 of the fast food chain's hot apple pies.
A spokesman from the Cold Stone Creamery pointed out that the company does also offer low-calorie, reduced-fat options for customers looking for "a lighter indulgence" such as its range of sinless smoothies with only 110 calories.
Well that's reassuring.

I bet you it is tasty! LOL
ReplyDeleteI bet it is too. Although it probably comes with its own defibrillator :)
