http://www.menshealth.com/eatthis/Un...in_America.php

Baskin-Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake

2,310 calories
108 g fat (64 g saturated)
266 g

Let's look at America's Worst Drink in numbers:

73: The number of ingredients that go into this milkshake.
66: The number of teaspoons of sugar this drink contains.
11: The number of Heath Bars you would have to eat to equal the number of calories found in one Baskin Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake.
12: The average number of minutes it takes to consume this drink.
240: The number of minutes you'd need to spend on a treadmill, running at a moderate pace, to burn it off.

Oh yea and ladies on the positive side i posted 125 BEST super market foods in america in the 100lb club... but i may as well add it here http://www.menshealth.com/eatthis/Be...est_cereal.php

I saw that same article and was shocked. That is almost double my calories consumed in an average of 12 minutes.

thats crazy, im thinking about getting that book, Eat this and Not that, I think its a good book to have

I have it and its a great book. I go out to eat quite often with friends and its good to know the healthy choices. It even has grocery store foods, holiday foods, movie theatre, vending machines and ball games. I highly reccomend it. Even if you dont use it its a great read

I have it and I love it. It was not only eye opening, but I felt like a glutton. I was embarassed about what I used to eat!

My husband LOVES their Reese's shake. About a year ago, I went on their website to see if they posted the nutritional info. That's when I explained to him there are 2320 cals in the large version of his favorite shake. He hasn't had one since!!!

I should probably get him that book.

Taylor86 · 06-12-2008, 06:17 PM

I have seen that book and have thumbed through it and I do believe it will be a purchase for me in the near future!

I can't believe over 2000 calories can fit into a drink! Not that I would have ever ordered any of those high-ranking ones, but I'll definitely be sure and stay away from them now. Drink are so often times overlooked at containing any more than a few trace calories, and boy, what a common misconception that is! I'm so glad that I'm an unsweetened iced tea/water addict. It makes my beverage choices a heck of a lot easier, that's for sure!!!
