Cops with fentanyl moment
So you're telling me I can get my daily vitamin C if I drink just 13 cups?
Yeah that sounds right.
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.
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.

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)

I would though. Do it. You've earned it, a stomach ache is a sign of your indomitable spirit.

... 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.
These sorts of things usually taste better in the first three spoonfuls than anything that comes 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.

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.

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.
It's a quart
0.946 litres if anyone needs a translation.
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

Crikey. You could run a marathon after that and still have a calorie surplus. Is this actually real?!
Yes :(

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!
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.

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.

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.
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.
What do you mean? It has vitamins!!
Just three of these to hit them macros for the day 💀
Shit, and here I thought a giant chocolate Oreo shake from an ice cream store would be healthy. Egg on my face I guess.
That is more calories than I can eat in an entire day to maintain my current weight. Just looking at it gives me anxiety.
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
It should be a crime to sell that
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.

Heck yes, hit half my protein goal in one go
Jesus I got diabeetus from just reading this.
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
900ml? What the fuck? I can barely drink a 300ml can of soda. How the fuck people drink this much?
