Shit, and here I thought a giant chocolate Oreo shake from an ice cream store would be healthy. Egg on my face I guess.
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.
1440cal is close to the daily average intake of a woman. That is a very, very hearty meal
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?
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
What more do you need?
So you’re telling me I can get my daily vitamin C if I drink just 13 cups?
Yeah that sounds right.
This is 32 ounces, I would need multiple days to drink that much.
It’s equivalent to a medium-size gas station drink. 52 and 64 being the largest I regularly see.
My girlfriend and I will sometimes get boba tea together and can usually share a 24 oz with some left over. Who is drinking 64 ounces of a drink that’s 90% sugar and fat by volume?
It’s usually just soda when the cups are that big. Or a freezee (also called slushies sometimes). Still crazy amounts of sugar.
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)
Ahhh the brain freeze 🥶
(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.

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
Isn’t that enough energy for the whole day?
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.
I shoot for 1500, so that’s nearly two days for some.
Great! You only need 12 to get your daily vitamin c
Edit: damn I just saw the serving size, 32 fl.oz? I seem to remember that there’s 16 Oz to a pound, so I get 32 is about 0.9L? And you need to drink 12 each day? GTFO I might as well just keep eating fruits and vegetables
I read calcium as cadmium 💀
Mmmmmmmmmmm cadmiumm 🤤
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.
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 he 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
2.5g of trans fats aren’t the issue here
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.
