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.
I pray to the universe that that last scenario won’t happen, but I’m totally doing it now if it does.
It’s a quart
0.946 litres if anyone needs a translation.
This thing exists but people were bitching at me for having one beer after i get off work yesterday…
It should be a crime to sell that
Roughly five and a half days of sugar in a bucket! (~550% DV, if they were to try to estimate it which there’s good reason not to)
huh that seemed low to me I thought it’d be more days so I checked and got nearly nine didn’t realise america had a higher daily recommended limit for sugar it’s only 30g here in the uk
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
Shit, and here I thought a giant chocolate Oreo shake from an ice cream store would be healthy. Egg on my face I guess.
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
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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!
Crikey. You could run a marathon after that and still have a calorie surplus. Is this actually real?!
MILK WAS A BAD CHOICE
Yes :(
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
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.
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!
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
2.5g of trans fats aren’t the issue here
Isn’t that enough energy for the whole day?
I shoot for 1500, so that’s nearly two days for some.
i’m quite confident most people (who aren’t used to stuffing themselves to a pathologic degree) would be unable to finish a third of this horrid concoction.
The general number is 2000 kcal per day for an adult with a normal amount of physical activity iirc, most people split their caloric intake into 3 meals, so that’s ~700 kcal. A third of this thing is ~900 kcal.
Fucking horrid.
