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 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 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
