Want Fries With That Shake?


Hello there and Happy Wednesday.

I love ice cream and I love shakes... but, I might have to skip this one. There is a list of the 10 worst drinks in America. Here is number one.
**
1. WORST DRINK IN AMERICA

Baskin-Robbins Large Chocolate Oreo Shake

2,600 calories
135 g fat (59 g saturated fat, 2.5 g trans fat)
263 g sugars
1,700 mg sodium
Is this the worst drink on the planet? All signs point to yes. First off, it has an ingredient list that reads like an organic chemistry final. Those 70-plus ingredients conspire to pack this shake with more sugar than 29 Fudgsicles, as much fat as a stick and a half of butter, and more calories than 48 actual Oreos. Oh, it also has 3 days’ worth of saturated fat and, most bizarre of all, as much salt as you’ll find in 9 bags of Lay’s Classic potato chips. Need more proof? Let’s hope not.

Sounds delicious though! Maybe I could share it with Maria and Johnny.
