The Unhealthiest Drink in America

Hey blog friends. I don't have much time (or energy) but I was just reading about this and I am totally astounded. As some of you know, I'm trying to cut a good portion of the sugar I eat from my diet. I've not been very successful. For some reason since I got pregnant I have this total thing for sweets. I never used to. Anyway, I just came across this article about unhealthy drinks (most loaded with sugar) and this one topped the list. Let me say I've never had this particular drink before, but is it bad that the first thing I said to myself when I saw the article was "man, that looks good!"




The Unhealthiest Drink in America Baskin Robbin’s Large Heath Bar Shake

(32 oz) 2,310 calories

266 g sugar

108 g fat (64 g saturated)



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.

8-12: The average number of minutes it takes to consume this drink.

240: The number of minutes you’d need to spend on a treadmill burning it off, running at a moderate pace.

Fatty loves to all!
