America’s unhealthiest drink

heath_shake.jpgThis being a sports blog, I figure at least some readers are into health and fitness. If so, I present what Men’s Health calls “America’s Unhealiest Drink.”

Baskin Robbin’s Large Heath Bar Shake (32 oz)
2,310 calories
266 g sugar
108 g fat (64 g saturated)

73: The number of ingredients that go into this milkshake.
66: The number of teaspoons of sugar this drink contains.
11: The number of Heath Bars you would have to eat to equal the number of calories found in one Baskin Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake.
8-12: The average number of minutes it takes to consume this drink.
240: The number of minutes you’d need to spend on a treadmill burning it off, running at a moderate pace.

The piece lists several other bad beverages, including the worst “healthy drink.” I got nauseous just reading the list. –Jim Buzinski

    Wow, that looks unbelievably good. Maybe I’ll just get the medium though.

    And we wonder why we see so many wide loads walking down the street…or in the mall, or at the concert…etc.
