My euro ass would instantly perish if I just held it in my hands

So you’re telling me I can get my daily vitamin C if I drink just 13 cups?
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. 😬
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.
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.
I think taste builds up a tolerance to sweet in the same way it does for heat. I used to drink lots of soda, but I stopped drinking it completely and now when I have a sip of Coke it tastes WAY too sweet and I can barely stand it. For people who eat lots of fast and ultra-processed foods packed with added sugar, salt, and fat, they need more extremes like this shake to overcome their tolerance in the same way a person who eats lots of spicy foods gets bored with jalapenos and needs ghost peppers and Carolina reapers that would destroy most other people’s palettes.
And that’s just their dessert. That’s not likely to be the only thing someone would consume in a day.
That’s the caveat right here. Most people who eat this aren’t generally eating well to begin with. A lot of Americans are gonna eat a double cheeseburger and fries with a soda which can clock up to 1600 calories, then go to Baskin Robbins for dessert and have this. That’s why it’s entirely possible for Americans to have 5k calories in a day because that’s only 1 meal and a dessert.
I make my own milkshakes now. Aim for about 8oz shake. Split it with the wife.
Its bad but I’ll have one a month or so in the summers.
A bite of a burger and fries with a sip of chocolate shake takes me back to my youth.
Fellow recent calorie counter since beginning of June. I’ve lost 10 lbs so far. I plan on continuing to do this even after I’ve met my goal
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 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.
Ahhh the brain freeze 🥶
… I want one
Americans be eating like they have universal healthcare but we actually do in my country
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.
These sorts of things usually taste better in the first three spoonfuls than anything that comes after.
My bowels feel like they have a cannonball in them after.
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.
Well, it’s got oreos in it. They’re kind of an acquired taste. So your mileage may vary. If you grew up with them you’ll probably like it. If not, it depends.
I have never in my life heard someone call a chocolate biscuit an acquired taste.
If that is an acquired taste, literally everything is an acquired taste and we can retire the phrase lmao
It depends on the chocolate. For example, Hersheys are an acquired taste because of the butyric acid.
I could see Oreos being off putting to folks who have gone most of their lives without them. Easy for them to hook you when you’re young and taste good forever, on the other hand.
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.
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?
Bruh they didnt label the trans fat with a percentage because the recommended intake is 0g 💀
Same for sugar. 266 gr of sugar per liter is and absurd amount of sugar.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST that’s a quarter of a BAG
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.
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.
Absolutely true, but I would kind of guess that an actual drink would have a lower sugar content than what is essentially a liquid dessert (for 4 people). Nutella for example is around 50% sugar
You misread the number of grams in the milkshake, I think.
I used the number the previous commentator used. I’ve now converted the 32 fl.oz (I figure it’s US fl.oz.) to Liter, which is 0.96l so I guess the actual content would be something like 28g/100ml which is not that far off my previous statement of 26g/100ml.
Which to clarify is something like 20% sugar content when taking the average density of water and substracting a bit to make up for the higher density of a milk shake.
Oh I totally missed that. Thanks for clarifying!
With the amount of fat in it I’d think the density would be lower than water
Maybe I should have looked that up forst, I kind of figured that since the viscosity of the drink would be lower the density would be higher
What the actual fuck i didnt even notice that
2.5g of trans fats aren’t the issue here
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.
It’s a quart
0.946 litres if anyone needs a translation.
I pray to the universe that that last scenario won’t happen, but I’m totally doing it now if it does.
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!
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.
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.
Most of the time it’s disguised behind being in small units (small thin cookies or crackers, liquids, sprinkles and powders) where eating too much is “your fault for being hungry enough and eating the whole box” not the manufacturers for making it adictive and unsatifying.
Try eating a whole cheesecake, or deep dish pizza in one sitting.I drink too many of these and am a healthy weight! I’m just unhealthy because I drink those instead of having actual food so Im malnourished (I exaggerate but holy fuck I don’t know how someone can have that with a meal and finish both,I never can)
It’s a whole day’s worth of maintenance calories for a medium-to-big active male. I sure hope you couldn’t eat a whole meal on top.
True. I do usually burn 1-1.5k Calories 5 times a week running and the ones I get aren’t quite this big so it’s not ludicrous, but definitely not good for me. Seems to be roughly balancing out, I’m a hair over 6 ft and bounce between 145 and 155 lbs
I hear you, I’m relatively very healthy, but for a period of time was having something similar to this but probably less extreme a couple times a week. By US standards people would think my weight was normal at that time, but for me I was overweight. Unless you’re burning very high amounts of calories (sometimes I do) these kinds of items have a big impact on anyone’s weight.
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.
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.
It is very real. Or rather, it was. They reduced it a bit somewhere down the line.
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.
Did you look up the same size? This one was 32 oz
I’ve looked for the large one yes. Maybe I made a mistake, idk?
1440cal is close to the daily average intake of a woman. That is a very, very hearty meal
Reminds me of the interview with Rob McElhenney where in order to put on the weight necessary to play ‘Fat Mac’ he asked his assistant to buy a gallon of ice cream every morning and leave it on the counter to melt so that he could drink it in the afternoon.
Basically, you can drink a lot more calories in a day than you could ever realistically eat.
Why the hell is there 1.7 grams of sodium in this???
Probably comes mostly from the cookie part of the Oreo. Everything else is excessive, and that’s like the least excessive part.
To make it taste better.
What do you mean? It has vitamins!!
Just three of these to hit them macros for the day 💀
Shit, and here I thought a giant chocolate Oreo shake from an ice cream store would be healthy. Egg on my face I guess.
That is more calories than I can eat in an entire day to maintain my current weight. Just looking at it gives me anxiety.
