No wonder they are so fat!

Double-clicked mozilla firefox. Her mainpage was yahoo.com. Was captured by the title 'Cheapest Fast Food Eats' and the statement 'The least expensive menu items at your favorite chains tend to be the worst ones for you.'
Out of curiousity, decided to have a look. One link led to another.

The links were very interesting, but i would say they're more applicable to those in America. Cuz most of them aren't available in Malaysia anyway.

BUT.....
one drink left me completely in awe.

Baskin-Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake


Wana have a go on how much calorie this one drink has?
Just a hint, it's MORE THAN my DAILY calorie need.

2310 calories. Yeap, it's so bad, it's named THE WORST DRINK IN AMERICA.

Some facts i found interesting. More info available here.
66: The number of teaspoons of sugar this drink contains.
240: The number of minutes you'd need to spend on a treadmill, running at a moderate pace, to burn it off.


The drink was introduced in 2008, and Baskin Robbin's does seem to be utterly pleased with their 'achievement'. So much so that they came up with another drink which won them the award:

'THE WORST FOOD IN AMERICA IN 2009'
for this: Baskin Robbins Large Chocolate Oreo Shake


A whooping 2600 calories. I think out of the 114 people in my class, only Choon Hau and Sofia can have this drink.=P

And I just recalled Kenneth telling me his uni cafe in Michigan serves buffet for 5USD per person. If u have a card (i don't know what card), whenever u buy one large pizza, free one large pizza. Milk and drinks are sold in gallons, not litres. The Chicken Katsu he had in a Japanese restaurant ystd had bout 30-40 strips! (The one i had ystd in Pyramid only had 5-6 strips!)

No wonder ppl in America are so fat!
