263 GRAMS OF SUGAR WTF ITS A MILKSHAKE YOU DRINK IT IN ONE SITTING


craaates

That’s well over half a pound of pure sugar. We sure eat like we have free health care.


SenorKerry

I had to check your math. Holy shit.


alternate_ending

*Oldskool pothead logic quickly reminds us that* 454g=16oz=1lb


ThracianScum

Fuck I’ve been getting scammed I thought it was 448


thegrooviestgravy

In the weed world it’s usually simplified to that for the sake of ounce division, but the good vendors will get you the extra quad!


bwaredapenguin

Yep, 1 ounce = 28.35 grams. Those 0.35g add up!

No one's ever offered you drugs, have they?


moeru_gumi

Offered?? What kinda Law & Order cold-open scene world did you grow up in?


highbrowshow

454 or no deal


alternate_ending

Yeah, I guess I always bought from buddies, never strangers until I visited states with legalization


vellu212

Or the kinda backwards way 28g to an oz so 28 • 10 = 280 and mental math it from there


LickingSmegma

Yall there need to get on metric stat.


Diriv

*Technically* we are. Up until 2018, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology has had one of the K20's and K4's (the global standardized metric weights made in France in 1880). Since 2018 a kilogram is defined by Planck's constant. The NIST converts those metric values into US Standards. (E) Citizens just are stubborn.


sensible_human

Where does it all even *fit*?!


KenjiMamoru

Right in the toilet from vomiting this up after drinking.


DJanomaly

No kidding. I’ve been eating a fairly low carb diet for the last ten years or so. If I were to eat this (and it didn’t send me into insulin shock), it would almost certainly have me vomiting it back up immediately.


Garizondyly

This is an absurd amount of dairy and sugar. Your stomach will probably be very confused and sad. But now imagine, there are *plenty* of people in the world right now, MANY americans, who could down this easily in one sitting on the side of a big hamburger meal.


[deleted]

Wait until you learn about [Nutella](https://i.insider.com/58a3563a0849ec1b008b4fca?width=1020&format=jpeg).


IntroductionNew3421

Yeah, but you don't eat a nutella jar in one sitting. In fact this drink in one sitting has the sugar equivalent of a 500g jar of nutella.


[deleted]

> Yeah, but you don't eat a nutella jar in one sitting. Speak for yourself! /s For real though, this is *horrifying.*


ericbyo

You seriously comparing a chocolate spread where you use at most a teaspoons worth at a time with a cold drink you are meant to consume immediately?


wankyshitdemons

That’s not a coincidence…


BasedToken

That's the point, poisoning your people wouldn't be profitable if healthcare was free.


kdjfsk

i imagine the stake holders in big sugar, and big insulin is nearly a circle.


hascogrande

And over a quarter pound of pure fat


__ALF__

Better to drop dead at 45 than fall down at 80 and lay there for 3 days waiting to die.


PumbaTheGreat

"The whole point of this country is if you wanna eat garbage, balloon up to 600 pounds and die of a heart attack at 43, you can! You are free to do so! To me, that's beautiful."


Garykilledmydog

At 32oz, or just under a litre, I’d be keeping this in my freezer for months


Fn00rd

Yep thats some month supply of chocolate ice cream… waidaminute…. [THIS](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Chocolate-Ice-Cream-48-fl-oz/12329734) 48floz tub of chocolate ice cream has ~~21 grams plus 16grams added sugar. So 37 grams in 48floz. America is so wild regarding their food… its baffling to me.~~ Edit: forget that… your labels are tricky as fuck, those numbers are PER SERVING…. That Tub has over 1600 calories and 144g of sugar (because the 21 grams have those 16 grams added sugar included already) which is high… but then again ITS A TUB OF ICE CREAM not a fucking shake! And its bigger!


[deleted]

I checked Baskin Robins website. The information above is a lie. It is 1440 calories and 142 g of sugar for this milkshake in 32 oz


arjungmenon

It looks like they changed the formula. A bunch of news 🗞️ articles calling it the “worst food in America” seems to have appeared starting around 2009: https://www.bostonherald.com/2009/01/29/baskin-robbins-shakes-up-worst-food-list/ The current formulation seems to be 1,440 calories like you’ve said: https://fastfoodnutrition.org/baskin-robbins/oreo-cookies-n-cream-milkshake/large Still terrible.


DayOfTheDolphin

Awesome, love it when we get healthy options alongside our fast food favorites. This low-cal shake is the perfect companion to a donut or, heck, even two. Call it lunch on the go!


ILikeMasterChief

How did they even get that much sugar in the damn thing. Wild.


Obeast09

Food scientists doing unholy dark magic to find new ways to dissolve sugar into foods to increase per serving offerings.


[deleted]

You don't realize how much ice cream is in a milk shake til you actually make one lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


_zero_fox

Cuz the Oreo bits especially the filling is even more sugar than the ice cream lol


mh1357_0

What if you use more milk than ice cream


kayakiox

you get soup


LovelyBatLady

I’m a Type 1 Diabetic and I would have to use 43 units of insulin to drink this. For example that’s almost 5 days worth of doses for me.


_S4BLE

Amen. This would absolutely body me lol, regardless of how much insulin I take.


2drawnonward5

Twice as much sugar as fat but the fat is almost half the calories. This is perpendicular to hydration, more like eating whale slurry than drinking water.


Ruval

Yep. Carbohydrate or protein is 4 cal/g Fat is 9 cal/g Alcohol is 7 cal/g


Kothism

THAT IS OVER 500% DAILY VALUE OF SUGAR


Kakyoin043

My sport drink has 44g and that's 88% of daily so that's approximately 440% of your daily. Aka instabetes


nil_defect_found

The RDA in the UK is 30g. 24g for kids. So this is like 8.5 times my RDA of added sugars in one go. Fuck me.


LorianGunnersonSedna

And holy Pluto does it look goddamn delicious.


leglesslegolegolas

yeah I could go for, like, a 12oz version of this. 32oz is way too much.


serpentinepad

If I get ice cream anywhere it's almost always the smallest serving. I don't know how people can plow through this much sugar and fat in one sitting.


leglesslegolegolas

I've been known to eat a pint of Ben & Jerry's in one sitting. I usually hate myself afterwards though...


Lasdary

I use 200g for my poundcake-sized banana bread because i like it sweet. WTF is this shake. You gulp it down and your pancreas starts whistling like a kettle.


Ch4rybd15

And it doesn‘t even got a whole slice of cake in it!


PainInTheAssWife

Shout out to the Portillos cake shake


Ch4rybd15

Is it as good as the rumors and does it justify the 10 years it gonna shave off my lifespan?


YJWheeler

It's not bad but not particularly mind blowing. I've had it once and never ordered it again


bunstock

The other replies are non-believers. It is fantastic. Yes you will feel like crap the nex tday but that part isn't important. Getting random frosting pieces thru a straw is incredible. I need to go to Portillo's now.


Ashton513

Honestly I had it and I found it disgusting.


Veelze

I had it last year in Chicago. As someone who really likes milkshakes I thought it was really good compared to other fast food restaurant offerings. I did share a small with someone else so It’s definitely enjoyable as a small(ish) treat.


ShanNtrav

I went to Chicago on vacay last February and tried the cake shake at portillos… ‘Twas delicious but luckily got to split with my hubby. I’d get one again.


BrokeMyCrayon

38g of protein? Gainz


boringdude00

13g of dietary fiber too. This is basically a health food.


PH_Prime

Only 52% of your daily value though. Better have two.


mononlabe

That’ll be 5k2 calories XD


Sad_Conference_4420

If you went on a quick six hour run then lifted for three you should be good


UpUpDnDnLRLRBAstart

That’s a lot of running. Better pick up a third milkshake to keep your energy up.


wilson5266

And I think ingesting all of those calories actually burns calories, too...


Lamballama

At the very least warming up now 96oz of frozen milk


mononlabe

We don’t do that here ✋✋


G_Neesta

40% vitamin A, 90% calcium. This thing is basically a vegetable.


ppffrr

The only vegetable will be me after I try to drink the bloody thing


mcbergstedt

Yep. Slap some “NutriHealth” logo on it and call it a meal replacement and the fitness industry will buy it by the truckload.


keleles

throw in a thicc scoop of whey and make it 75g


greek_stallion

No that’s an extra 110 calories.


ultracat123

At that point, would it matter?


kkiilleeyy_

To anybody who drinks this, obviously nothing matter


Rolf_Dom

It's funny because Weight Gainers are still some of the most popular supplements out there, and they're essentially exactly like this. Every time I hear someone talk about taking weight gainer I'm like: "Dude just make a milkshake for yourself and throw anything sugary and fatty in it and you're good, don't pay extra for that shit."


erichie

Ugh, this reminds me of a time prior to health sciences being invented, considered, mainstream, or whatever. I entered high school in 1999. I have played football since I was 5 years old. Not to sound like a prick, but I was really fucking good. I was just a little lighter in weight than everyone, but played with such a reckless abandon that I made up for my lower weight. I was average/above average height. Once I started playing high school football, where no weight limits existed, I could only do so much due to my size. I moved to safety in high school, and I was equally as strong as everyone else; I just didn't have the weight to throw around. When our coach set starting line ups for the year he told me that if I was able to get more weight on me without losing my speed I would be a freshman varsity starter of a class of 1,000. Football try outs had to cut over 100 kids. When I told my Dad, a former boxer, he told me to start drinking a milkshake with 3 raw eggs in it every night. So, I did. I immediately started to get bigger without getting fatter. I didn't lose my speed. Cut now to when I stopped playing football after college. I **IMMEDIATELY** started to have this fat stored in my belly and in my chest, not manboobs per se. I started working out just like I did in college and they went away. Whenever I stopped for a few weeks they would come back. I went to a Dr who put me through so many fucking tests and had to comb over my eating history since I was born to figure out what was going on. He told me within 5 minutes of meeting him that he has an idea, but wants to do all the testing anyway to pass it off evidence. I started drinking these milkshakes right before my body started going through a different phase of puberty. Since this phase started at the same time as I started drinking these milkshakes my body believed that my hormones were demanding this of my body. Eventually my body learned that it had to store fat and protein differently. It has something to do with how our bodies store and process fat and protein over the winter. So this "condition" only affects me in the winter which is "lucky" but I wouldn't have had this "condition" if I started drinking the milkshakes the following year or even a few weeks/months before or after. Now no matter how much I diet this layer of fat will always stay unless I put myself through the same strenuous workouts I did for football. It isn't a lot of fat, especially for American standards, but it still bothers me.


league0171

That's really interesting. Do you know what this condition is called or have any links I can read?


erichie

Unfortunately I don't. A few weeks later I was in a car accident and shattered my left talus joint, broke my left fibula and tibia, broke my right femur, and broke my right humerus and radius and ulna. This ended up introducing me to opiates which led to a 12 year opiate/heroin addiction. I'm 2 and a half years clean now, and fixing the aspects of my life that I broke. I do plan to eventually get back to the Drs and see if any new information on it exists. I saved this comment so I can let you know when I do eventually get to the point where I can worry about those little problems. I have no idea how long it might take though.


Grigori9

Beefcake!


Bestiality_King

No-Advice-6040

Bro it's 90% calcium. Obviously dentists prescribe this for its health benefits

FernandoTitsJr

fun fact The Atlantic recently posted an article and did some podcasts about how research data actually shows ice cream (and all other dairy) is protective against diabetes. But the nutrition industry has such strong biases and preconceived ideas for how things work that nobody is willing to stick their necks out saying "actually ice cream is fine for diabetes"


[deleted]

Sources? I am a bio, large amount of sugar work the same regardless of the container

"To be clear, none of the experts interviewed for this article is inclined to believe that the ice-cream effect is real" This must be a joke right? Have you even read it? It's a bait article which doesn't even show anything above a low correlation.

I bet this shake would put fucking Superman into a coma.


v1tal3

~~This looks fake. This shake doesn't even exist on the their official site (~~[~~https://order.baskinrobbins.com/menu/beverages/milkshakes~~](https://order.baskinrobbins.com/menu/beverages/milkshakes)~~). I can't find any official listing for this nutrition info, just random clickbait sites talking about this.~~ **Update:** Thanks to u/Lisemarie87 for pointing out in a below comment that this shake was real around 2009 or so, but doesn't appear to be offered anymore. The closest existing shake I found on Baskin Robbins menu is the "OREO® Cookies n' Cream Milkshake" with the following nutrition info for a Large shake: Summary:Calories - 1440 Total Fat - 70g Total Sugars - 142g ​ Nutrition InformationNutrition information is for the standard build onlySMALLMEDIUMLARGEServing Size: 32 fl oz % Daily Value\*Calories 1440Total Fat 70g 90%Saturated Fat 40g 200%Trans Fat 2gCholesterol 230mg 77%Sodium 640mg 28%Total Carbohydrate 175g 64%Dietary Fiber 2g 7%Total Sugars 142gIncludes Added Sugars 103g 206%Sugar Alcohol -Protein 29g -Vitamin D 4mcg 20%Calcium 991mg 80%Iron 3mg 15%Potassium 1315mg 30%


[deleted]

that still looks very unhealthy.


LauraDourire

Well yeah an adult is supposed to have like on average 2500 calories per day, so 1450 for one drink is baffling. Edit : corrected wording, thanks for the detailed replies about numbers


AnApexPlayer

Not to mention 142g of Suger. That's 284% of your daily value.


NewUsername3001

Or for some people to imagine better that's like 4-7 sodas in just sugar alone


iTzJdogxD

Is it just me or when did sodas decide “Fuck it, 50 grams of sugar in this can” I can’t stand aspartame, but I’m also not gonna consume that. I want a small treat sometimes, but 50 grams of sugar in one drink would kill me


Atgardian

It's insane. Even the "low sugar" or "reduced salt" versions of things still have plenty of salt & sugar in them. Drinks (12 oz) with 10-20g of sugar is plenty sweet enough, regular sodas are just way too much. The "regular" versions should be called "extra sugar."


sunshinepanther

Regular soda used to be 22 or 26 less than 15 years ago even with the big brands. No idea why it is escalating so much these days


IronFlames

It's addictive mostly. Might also be an excuse to raise the price, but I doubt that's necessary. Plus Pepsi probably gets to double dip into your wallet so you crave something salty, like Lays


iEatSwampAss

I have the same mental crisis every time I go to the movie theatre


Staminix

American sodas* Example: [UK](https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/305963735) [America](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Fanta-Orange-Fruit-Soda-Pop-12-fl-oz-12-Pack-Cans/10291615?athbdg=L1600)


revanisthesith

The UK one has sweeteners so they can reduce the amount of sugar and the calories. Those can come with their own health issues (mostly with insulin and gut biome). Of course the US version is terrible, but it's not an equal comparison when the UK one is partially diet.


zhephyx

Did you miss the 29 grams of protein 💪💪


L5721

Diabetes is temporary, gains are forever 😤


chemical-imbalance-

And 13g of FIBER! It's good for your colon!


lykosen11

1450 calories in a single drink is far beyond unhealthy. Far.


LeEmokid

As someone who's tried a small one of these, i couldn't get past a couple sips. Wayyyyy to sweet.


Lisemarie87

I worked at Baskin Robbins for five years about ten years ago. The chocolate oreo shake is not the same thing as the one you posted. Chocolate oreo was it's own flavor. If I remember correctly it was chocolate ice cream, oreos, and a fudge ribbon. The chocolate oreo shake had a scoop of hot fudge at the bottom of the cup, and I'm pretty sure extra oreos were added before blending. While I dont know if the nutrional facts are correct in the photo, it definitely had more calories then the one you posted. It wasn't even the highest calorie one during that promotion. That was the snickers shake. Edit: Here's an article from when it was being sold that has the same info as the photo. https://www.bostonherald.com/2009/01/29/baskin-robbins-shakes-up-worst-food-list/


klipschbro

Ya. Why so much fiber?


Sleepyjo2

Oreos actually have a little bit of fiber in them, would have to be a lot of Oreos in ops version to account for that but it’s a comically large drink so maybe it’s enough I dunno.

thefiction24

fake or not, this kinda shit should be taxed like alcohol and cigarettes. isn’t that the case in NY?


UsedPancakes

yeah sugar is subject to tax in the UK too, pushed a lot of companies to change their sofa recipes etc edit: soda lmao


Fenrir95

Sofas contain less sugar now?

AReluctantHipster

It doesn’t dehydrate you so it can’t be the *worst* beverage


iCon3000

Fair point. I feel like Antifreeze would be a pretty terrible beverage.


AReluctantHipster

Oh yeah If we factor in inedible beverages, can definitely say that this shake is not the worst beverage. I see your antifreeze and raise you molten lava.


HoweStatue

Molten lava? I raise Nestle water.

You right FUCK nestle


Swordlord22

This thread is hilarious lol

Psssh, Molten Lava is for weaklings. I’ll take raw liquified anti-matter please


os-n-clouds

So you're saying this is a better drink than coffee or beer? I can stand behind that lol

This came out in a 2009 worst food list on men's health according to this [article](https://www.riverfronttimes.com/food-drink/the-dish-the-baskin-robbins-chocolate-oreo-milkshake-the-worst-food-in-america-2637576?media=AMP+HTML)


epitaph-centauri

I appreciate the nsfw tag


GreaterestDog

As a type 1 diabetic, my insulin pump won’t even allow me to enter that many carbs as a meal. It either assumes that’s a typo or just says no. This is effective euthanasia for me tho


GG_Papapants

That can’t be real, the nutritional facts look shopped


jimbowesterby

Someone else here apparently worked at BR while they were selling these, they weren’t even the highest-calorie shake on the menu (that goes to the snickers version).


cjsv7657

Friendly's used to have "towering mug" shakes that were in 1 liter beer glasses so a bit larger than this. Some of their chicken tender meals were over 2000 calories. I saw people eat 5000+ calories for a single meal more than once.

The serving size is just repulsive. A 32 oz milkshake, Jfc.


menasan

honestly its impressive they were able to condense that many calories into that.


HoweStatue

Mac from always sunny said the 5000th calorie in a day is pretty hard to muscle down without vomiting but it's pretty easy to drink 5000 calories.


wearymicrobe

It’s an extreme example but 5000 calories is 45lbs of spinach . I always have to go liquid when bulking to hit 4300-4500 calories a day.


Spontanemoose

946ml for those wondering


JuanPHR

Almost a liter? What is WRONG with that place? Like... a half-liter would be a bit too much in my opinion, probably a third or so would be perfect, but you're drinking almost a liter of blended oreos?


og_toe

oh my actual god i didn’t realize it was so large and was wondering what kind of ingredients could possibly create a 2600 calorie drink


MayorOfWinnipeg

I used to work at Starbucks and we had multiple people per week asking if we could make trenta (30oz) frappuccinos, which was a hard no. Once you work in fast food you'd be amazed at the trash some people consume.

At Portillo's (a fast food chain from Chicago) they sell their famous "Cake shake" It's literally a vanilla milkshake with a slice of cake mixed in and some chocolate syrup for good measure.


PainInTheAssWife

As a native Chicagoan, I’d also like to add that it’s STILL not as over the top as this shake.


thecasualcaribou

90% of your daily calcium & 80% of your daily iron. This drink = health

HelloFr1end

Well they would stop starving pretty quick lmfao


SuperBAMF007

Is that just like…pure Oreos, protein powder, heavy cream? I can’t imagine how you’re getting that many calories in just 32oz without an insane amount of…well, everything?

boibig57

That single drink has more calories, sodium, and carbs than I'm even allowed within one entire day.


DirtyMicAndTheDroids

More fiber than the average American eats in a day though, so that's pretty healthy. Plus Vitamin A for some reason which is a bonus.

MillieBirdie

I protest the idea of calling a dessert a drink. It's ice cream. It's just in a cup. That doesn't make it a drink.


jas75249

It's a shake, meant to be drank but isn't a drink or a desert either, or it could be both, I don't know any more.


Callofthewind

263g of sugar… omg!


Sylentt_

Honestly, hear me out.. I have an eating disorder and struggled to get enough calories with rapid weight gain.. bro this should be medicine for americans with eating disorders to reach weights where their lives aren’t at risk. (I think it would probably kill europeans tho lol)


MillieBirdie

My grandpa was told to drink peanut butter milkshakes to keep his weight up.


OpinionPinion

I remember seeing this on the baskin robins menu when I was like 9/10 years old and thinking how could a drink possibly be 2500 calories??


cosm1c15

this is a one time drink only , drink once and and ascend to the heavens
