Dessert anyone?

I think NOT! It's been super busy this week and my stamps are collecting dust right now! I hope to play over the long (forecast: stormy and wet) weekend. Anyway, I saw this the other day on a link on Yahoo's home page and about fell over. I've never have had one, but I can't believe they sell this (and sleep at night).

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

Let's look at America's Worst Drink in numbers:

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.

Aye Carumba!

I read this to my DH and the first thing he said was...

"Awesome! Where is the closest Baskin Robbin's?!?"

Oy!

YIKES! I think I will skip that one!
I am currently strugglin to get my weight under control----that would undo all the work I have done in the last two days, as it is double the caloric intake I am doing now!
Yuck!
