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.
900ml? What the fuck? I can barely drink a 300ml can of soda. How the fuck people drink this much?
They make extra room by never drinking any water.
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
… 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.
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.
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.
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.
What more do you need?
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.
Crikey. You could run a marathon after that and still have a calorie surplus. Is this actually real?!
MILK WAS A BAD CHOICE
Yes :(
My euro ass would instantly perish if I just held it in my hands
Cops with fentanyl moment
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!
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.
Eh idk what there’s to get riled up about. If they’re being open with the calories content, I don’t mind drinking this once in a while just for the heck of it
This thing exists but people were bitching at me for having one beer after i get off work yesterday…
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.
I’m assuming where they say ‘calories’ they mean kilocalories?
In which case, what the hell?
Correct. In America, “Calories” and “Kilo-Calories” are synonymous. In fact, rarely is the formal form of that used over here.
I suspected as much. Still hate it.
Don’t suppose we could get everyone to switch to using Watt-hours? We could start listing exercise intensity in watts and you could easily calculate how much calories are burned during exercise.
Or we just use joules like civilized folk
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.
What the actual fuck i didnt even notice that
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.
With the amount of fat in it I’d think the density would he lower than water
Oh I totally missed that. Thanks for clarifying!
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST that’s a quarter of a BAG
2.5g of trans fats aren’t the issue here
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. 😬
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
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.
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.
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 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.
