So you're telling me I can get my daily vitamin C if I drink just 13 cups?

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Yeah that sounds right.

America. 🦅

I had to stop drinking milkshakes once I started counting calories because of this kind of thing. Like, I knew it was bad, but I didn't know it was this bad. 😬

[-] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

I mean, having one of this once a year just for the morbid curiosity of satisfying your palate in that much fat and sugar is fine, specially if you share one with several people. Yet, some people were having these things weekly, even daily. Those poor arteries.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

At this point they're literally drug dealers willfully killing people with their product.

I can't imagine consuming my entire days worth of calories with a single milkshake. It's mentally ill.

For reference, 1 litre of ice cream has about 180g of sugar in it. This milkshake is approx 0.95L and 263g, so 1.54x more sugar than straight ice cream.

(I wouldn't recommend eating a litre of ice cream all in one go either)

I would though. Do it. You've earned it, a stomach ache is a sign of your indomitable spirit.

Americans be eating like they have universal healthcare but we actually do in my country

[-] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago

They kind of suck. That's the real travesty with these franchise crimes against cardiology, it's all cardboard with high fructose corn syrup drizzle.

It tastes good, right, but also... Shallow. Literally just a shitload of sugar and fat, nothing unique to it.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

These sorts of things usually taste better in the first three spoonfuls than anything that comes after.

Call me a 12 year old in the body of a 30 year old, but "explosion of sugar and fat" is still my go-to for desserts and my pick whenever I have a cheat day

Never much cared for "complex" or "acquired" taste desserts. Even the sourness of cheesecakes displeases me.

If I'm consuming enough calories that I'll spend the next week paying the bill with interest, it better taste like I'm being brutally assaulted by a bag of sugar.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Does it actually taste good though? Sure, ice cream is good. But nearly double the sugar and that ice cream turns into a vile mouth assault.

I bought a milkshake on a beach boardwalk a couple weeks ago, as a treat, cuz I was at the beach, yknow, why not. The last time I had a milkshake was probably this time last year. They only offered one size, 20 oz. I would have preferred less, but whatever. My friend got a single scoop in a cup. About a third of the way into my shake, she was done w her scoop, and i did not want to eat anymore milkshake, but I also didn't want to be wasteful, so I ate the rest of it, but it was not good anymore. It was too much sugar, and then my tummy hurt haha. Her lil scoop was the perfect amount and cost less than my stupid thing.

Sorry, you didn't ask for this anecdote. It was all to say: I agree with you, sure they taste good, kinda, but only for a minute and then the suffering comes.

What more do you need?

[-] [email protected] 37 points 2 months ago

Bruh they didnt label the trans fat with a percentage because the recommended intake is 0g 💀

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

Same for sugar. 266 gr of sugar per liter is and absurd amount of sugar.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST that's a quarter of a BAG

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

26g/100ml is a lot but not that high. A European coke has about 10.6g, energy drinks around 15g, while smoothies and natural juices can go up to 20g.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Twice the amount of sugar of some of the most sugary and damaging drinks available does seem like a lot to me. And about juice, at least some of that is fructose if the juice is actually fruit. This pure refined sugar.

What the actual fuck i didnt even notice that

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

2.5g of trans fats aren’t the issue here

[-] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago

That is a HUGE milkshake. It's a quart.

This is beyond major celebrations like graduations or windfalls, but for tragedies like break-ups and subprime mortgage crises.

Completely acceptable the day after Trump wins the election. In fact, get two.

Crikey. You could run a marathon after that and still have a calorie surplus. Is this actually real?!

Wtf. How can anyone eat that? It would be like dropping a bomb in my stomach.

If there are any non-Americans seeing this thing and thinking, "What's wrong with Americans‽" this is not a normal thing for people to consume here in the US. I will never have that drink. Not because I'm controlling myself for my health, but because I would be too repulsed by that much sweetness and heaviness. This is made for a specific portion of the population: those that are struggling with eating healthy. Of everyone I know, I can only think of two people that could even consume that thing, and both of them have a poor relationship with food.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

this is not a normal thing for people to consume here in the US.

oh sure, that's why it's a local restaurant's novelty item, not a probable bestseller that is part of a heavily advertised inter-brand crossover product mass produced and mass consumed in a franchise restaurant that's so prolific, it's international.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

People in the US drink/eat stuff like this all the time, it’s why they are overweight. Not everyone, but a not insignificant number of people.

Was wondering how much is the contents and how much is the size so ran the conversation. Jesus christ 32 fl oz is like a litre almost! That's huge!

[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

Is this for real? I've been keeping track of my own calorie intake for months and my highest record for total calories consumed in one day was 2670. I can't imagine what it is like to eat that many calories on top of something else.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

It is very real. Or rather, it was. They reduced it a bit somewhere down the line.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

I've looked it up and it says 1440 calories for this particular shake. I think they removed the cream top and the crumbled cookies, judging from photos, and I guess they may have added water or something to cut down that many cals.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Did you look up the same size? This one was 32 oz

1440cal is close to the daily average intake of a woman. That is a very, very hearty meal

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

Why the hell is there 1.7 grams of sodium in this???

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Probably comes mostly from the cookie part of the Oreo. Everything else is excessive, and that's like the least excessive part.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

To make it taste better.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

What do you mean? It has vitamins!!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Just three of these to hit them macros for the day 💀

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Shit, and here I thought a giant chocolate Oreo shake from an ice cream store would be healthy. Egg on my face I guess.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

I'm assuming where they say 'calories' they mean kilocalories?

In which case, what the hell?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Correct. In America, "Calories" and "Kilo-Calories" are synonymous. In fact, rarely is the formal form of that used over here.
