maybe it's for disabled people/strollers?

You are joking...right?

Here is the full nutrition list of "Cold Stone" shakes.

Note that no shake has less than 1000 calories!
Note that no shake has less than 34g(!) of saturated fat!
Note that no shake has less than 92g(!) of sugar!

sidenote: look at the daily value of saturated fat on that list.
lowest = 170%
highest = 345% (!!)


holy fuck :O

I wanna puke...

 

[-viper-]

The McDonalds vanilla/chocolate milkshake is like 800 calories, 100g in sugars, 15g in fat.

 

[Kurtofan]

Wow and I thought Coca Cola was bad

 

[LosDaddie]

#1. Cold Stone PB&C (Gotta Have it Size)

2,010 calories
131 g fat (68 g saturated)
153 g sugars

Sugar Equivalent: 30 Chewy Chips Ahoy Cookie

Well now I have to eat one.

 

[TheLastCandle]

Off topic, but looking at that picture has me thinking about how there are very few things in life better than chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven. Nomnomnom.

 

[Dega]

I want some cookie crisp now.

 

[TomServo]

I wanna puke...

I can't imagine anyone eats at Cold Stone and doesn't know what they're putting in their body. More like they just don't give a shit.

I go there a few times a year, get the smallest size (like it?) with something like birthday cake or peanut butter cup whatever. Shit is good. That said, how anyone could eat more than the smallest size is also beyond me.

I guess that's why I don't understand fat people.

 

[electricpirate]

Get that artificial-tasting shit outta here.

Both your Avy and your oppinions are awesome.

The beer comparison is just such bullshit too. Okay, the high carb count on the beer might come into play if you are on atkins, but if you are on atkins, why the fuck are you drinking beer?

But in terms of raw calories, it's only about 3x the calories for twice the alchohal. With how much better bigfoot is, I'll make that trade any day.

If you really must drink low calorie beer, at least drink a Guinness draft, for 30 more calories you get a lot more flavor than Michelob.

Indeed. Guinness is a great beer choice if you are looking for something "lighter" and still don't want to sacrifice flavor.

I don't like even the idea of light beer. If you are gonna drink a beer, drink a damn beer. I eat healthy so that I can afford to pound down doppelbocks and imperial stouts on the weekend. You only live once, as they say.

 

[Shanadeus]

Damn at those milkshakes, why can't they use aspartame or something instead of sugar?
And cut down on that fat dammit, with todays food science there shouldn't be any drinks with more then 100 kalories.

 

[akachan ningen]

okay that beer:

15. Worst Beer
Sierra Nevada Bigfoot (1 bottle, 12 fl oz)

330 calories
0 g fat
32.1 g carbohydrates
9.6% alcohol

they say drink this instead:

Drink This Instead!

Leinenkugel’s Fireside Nut Brown Ale (1 bottle, 12 fl oz)

155 calories
13.4 g carbohydrates
4.9% alcohol

It has only half the cals and carbs but half the alcohol too! Which means you'd need twice as much of it to get drunk, so you're screwed either way!

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

I can honestly say that I've never had any of those drinks.

But sucks for you people that have.

 

[Shiv47]

240 grams of sugar in that Cosi drink?? Jesus Christ. Also, "Lobstertini" sounds completely disgusting regardless of what is actually in it.

 

[ch0mp]

Trans fat in a shake? I mean is it really necessary.

I've heard this argument many times in food related GAF threads, but I still don't believe it. IMHO, unless they have some rare glandular problem, all that matters weight-wise is calories in vs. calories out.

You've heard of insulin right? :lol

 

[ToxicAdam]

I can honestly say that I've never had any of those drinks.

But sucks for you people that have.

You've never had a margarita?

 

[beelzebozo]

chips ahoy are some gross-ass cookies.

 

[dankir]

You see, I'm the kind of person who just looks at this as justification for eating 30 cookies.

First thing I said, holy shit @ 1 and 3 though!

 

[jjasper]

I really don't see the point of putting Big Foot on there. If I am going to go out and buy a higher alcohol content beer I really don't care if it is "harmful" to me because it has a lot of carbs.

 

[GK86]

I want a milkshake now.

 

[vas_a_morir]

chips ahoy are some gross-ass cookies.

Hell yeah. They turn to dust in your mouth. WTF.

Lately, when I want to eat cookies, I buy "Chocolate Digestives." It's definitely a bit of a mistake with the name, as to me, it sounds like a laxative... but I'm sure it's named that for some reason...

 

[jon bones]

sierra nevada is a good brewery but all that sugary shit would give me a headache

 

[ToxicAdam]

chips ahoy are some gross-ass cookies.

Chewy Chipy Ahoy are pretty good.

 

[Emerson]

Fuck me.

I love the Coldstone PB&C shake, but that's terrible. Granted I would never get the largest one, but it doesn't seem to help all that much.

 

[Triple U]

all this thread has done is made me hungry

 

[BorkBork]

chips ahoy are some gross ass-cookies.

That IS gross.

 

[beelzebozo]

Chewy Chipy Ahoy are pretty good.

i'll have to try them, but i remain skeptical. i've never had a packaged chocolate chip cookie that was worth a shit.

 

[WickedAngel]

That shit should come with a warning label or something. Some of those are half of your caloric intake for the day, never mind the fat and sugar content. Luckily I hate chocolate, coffee and alcohol, so I would never touch one of these. Water + smoothies all the way.

Do American school kids get taught the basics of nutrition and dietary needs/limits?

Kind of...but the education is pretty spartan and isn't really consistently emphasized. Aside from college, my only recollection of a nutrition class comes from the 4th grade. Teaching 4th graders about this sort of thing is pretty ineffectual anyways; they're not going to listen. Parents are the ones who need to know this stuff but they're the least likely to learn.

 

[ToxicAdam]

i'll have to try them, but i remain skeptical. i've never had a packaged chocolate chip cookie that was worth a shit.

Well, I should say that I was using other packaged chocolate chip cookies as a measuring stick. Nothing beats homemade or those you can buy in the bakery.

 

[Count Dookkake]

One trick I like is to call these things desserts when in earshot of gluttons.

 

[PuppetSlave]

Here is what European food labels look like:
[]http://www.diabetic-dieting.com/images/Visual-Food-Label.jpg[/]

Great system and make you think twice before you buy, eat certain foods.

Not really. A good one would have been if it was 100 grams instead of a fucking serving.

 

[siddx]

They all look delicious, just consider them desserts.

I have friend who drinks those big foots like water. Just bottle after bottle till he's tore up.

 

[beelzebozo]

Well, I should say that I was using other packaged chocolate chip cookies as a measuring stick. Nothing beats homemade or those you can buy in the bakery.

i think creating a packaged product that can hold the trademark chewiness and butteriness of a great chocolate chip cookie must be really tough, hence why it's so much easier to just make them at home or pick some up from a bakery, as you say. crisper cookies like oreos, stroopwaffles, nutter butters, fudge stripes, etc. have a place in my heart.

Soft Batch cookies, try them.

 

[beelzebozo]

Soft Batch cookies, try them.

i have, man. i love keebler, but soft batch cookies are sort of sadness. they are elevated to passable by a trip to the microwave for fifteen seconds.

 

[Manus]

I'm glad I only drink coffee, Coke Zero, and water. After seeing this, I'm proud of what I drink now.

 

[elrechazado]

i have, man. i love keebler, but soft batch cookies are sort of sadness. they are elevated to passable by a trip to the microwave for fifteen seconds.

They have this quality about them that makes me just eat a ton, even though they aren't amazing or anything. I love em and yet don't think they're that great if that makes any sense. :lol

i know exactly what you mean. straight up, i bought a package one day waiting for my girlfriend to get home and ate the whole thing.

. . . on an unrelated note, it didn't work out between us

Complete Top 20 Here

lol holy shit that enough calories for the whole day!

 

[andymcc]

all sierra-nevada beers are pretty high in calories. i think they're worth it for the simple fact that they tend to taste better than most beer you can purchase at the supermarket. i'm not a big fan of the bigfoot ale, personally, but i do love torpedo.

holy fuck :O

Considering saturated fats aren't really bad for you, 92grams of sugar is still a fuckshit ton of carbs for just a drink

[Guileless]

What does PB & C stand for in that Coldstone shake? What does it taste like?

 

[ToxicAdam]

What does PB & C stand for in that Coldstone shake? What does it taste like?

I would imagine Peanut Butter and Chocolate. Probably uses real peanut butter which is why the fat/calorie count is so jacked up.

 

[BronzeWolf]

I am pretty confident that drinks like these are the reason of america's obesity, coupled with indiscriminate use of HFCS

 

[BattleMonkey]

Always baffles me that they can't simply bring up or note that you almost cut in half the fat/calorie content of most of these things by simply having them not put on the whip cream topping.

 

[BronzeWolf]

Always baffles me that they can't simply bring up or note that you almost cut in half the fat/calorie content of most of these things by simply having them not put on the whip cream topping.

Yeah because it's all about the dietary fat...

*points to sugar content*

 

[nomster]

Always baffles me that they can't simply bring up or note that you almost cut in half the fat/calorie content of most of these things by simply having them not put on the whip cream topping.

Same thing applies with mayo on fast food sandwiches. Not quite half, but a significant portion.

But yeah, the sugar is the crazy part of these drinks.

 

[BattleMonkey]

Yeah because it's all about the dietary fat...

*points to sugar content*

It is part of the problem. All of it combined is a problem. Fat content and calories are just as bad as sugar realy, it all adds up.
