My euro ass would instantly perish if I just held it in my hands

So you're telling me I can get my daily vitamin C if I drink just 13 cups?

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 8 points 4 months ago

Yeah that sounds right.

[–] itsnicodegallo@lemm.ee 35 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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. 😬

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago

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

[–] wren@feddit.uk 28 points 4 months ago

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)

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 27 points 4 months ago (1 children)

... I want one

Americans be eating like they have universal healthcare but we actually do in my country

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 20 points 4 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 12 points 4 months ago

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

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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.

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 25 points 4 months ago

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

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] cobra89 5 points 4 months ago

I pray to the universe that that last scenario won't happen, but I'm totally doing it now if it does.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SuspiciousCatThing@pawb.social 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It is very real. Or rather, it was. They reduced it a bit somewhere down the line.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 4 points 4 months ago

1440cal is close to the daily average intake of a woman. That is a very, very hearty meal

[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.autism.place 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] HaleHirsute@infosec.pub 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

I drink too many of these and am a healthy weight! I'm just unhealthy because I drink those instead of having actual food so Im malnourished (I exaggerate but holy fuck I don't know how someone can have that with a meal and finish both,I never can)

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's a whole day's worth of maintenance calories for a medium-to-big active male. I sure hope you couldn't eat a whole meal on top.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago

True. I do usually burn 1-1.5k Calories 5 times a week running and the ones I get aren't quite this big so it's not ludicrous, but definitely not good for me. Seems to be roughly balancing out, I'm a hair over 6 ft and bounce between 145 and 155 lbs

[–] HaleHirsute@infosec.pub 1 points 4 months ago

I hear you, I’m relatively very healthy, but for a period of time was having something similar to this but probably less extreme a couple times a week. By US standards people would think my weight was normal at that time, but for me I was overweight. Unless you’re burning very high amounts of calories (sometimes I do) these kinds of items have a big impact on anyone’s weight.

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 11 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Why the hell is there 1.7 grams of sodium in this???

[–] frezik@midwest.social 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Probably comes mostly from the cookie part of the Oreo. Everything else is excessive, and that's like the least excessive part.

[–] Lemongrab@lemmy.one 4 points 4 months ago

To make it taste better.

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 7 points 4 months ago

What do you mean? It has vitamins!!

[–] chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 4 months ago

It should be a crime to sell that

[–] rothaine 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

How is there fiber in that

[–] Phunter@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago

Microplastics.

[–] figaro@lemdro.id 6 points 4 months ago

Heck yes, hit half my protein goal in one go

[–] Aurora_TheFirstLight@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Isn't that enough energy for the whole day?

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] SuspiciousCatThing@pawb.social 3 points 4 months ago

I shoot for 1500, so that's nearly two days for some.

[–] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 months ago

I read calcium as cadmium 💀

[–] thedudeabides@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago

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

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 4 months ago

This thing exists but people were bitching at me for having one beer after i get off work yesterday....
