    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

    Bruh they didnt label the trans fat with a percentage because the recommended intake is 0g 💀

        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

            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.

    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 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.

      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.

    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.

        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.

      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.

    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?!

    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

    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
