Two Thousand Calories in a Single Drink

Well you could eat that... and ONLY that for the WHOLE DAY! It's one day's worth of calories! holy crap. I wonder how much protein is in it...

Ick. While it seems people and food service are both becoming more health conscious in general, I've noticed this new anti-trend pushing back of some places trying to make the most unhealthy products possible just for the sake of it, and fat sweaty consumers eating it up as if it's some badge of honor that they don't care about their health.

I don't understand the mentality of choosing a 2k calorie shake when you can have a regular 500 calorie shake, or better yet a cup of frozen yogurt. It's juvenile, it reminds me of teenagers who don't wear seatbelts and smoke cigarettes because it's cool to be a risk taker. Well going face first through the windshield isn't very cool, nor are lung cancer, obesity and heart attacks.

gross.

if i'm going to take a health risk, i'd rather chain smoke and while basking in the midafternoon sun for hours without sunscreen. at least that won't give me love handles.

OK, so we didn't have Cold Stone Creamery near us until fairly recently, but when I was in high school/college, we had a restaurant chain near us called Culver's that served frozen custard. They had these shakes called "Concrete" shakes that were basically a 24 oz. cup filled with frozen custard and "mix-ins" like candy/fruit/chocolate/etc. I used to get a value meal consisting of 6 deepfried chicken tenders, fries, and one of those Concrete Shakes. I'm estimating that I was consuming approximately 3500 calories in just that one meal. Yet I always wondered why I was fat back then. Once I decided to start watching my weight, I found out that a Concrete Shake was around 1800 calories and I stopped eating them because I thought it was a colossal waste of calories.

so funny to me, this is such big news, i actually saw this in a newspaper here - in AUSTRALIA.

it'll be interesting to see if sales change now that the word is out. the guy they interviewed (in the article) said he didn't care. it wouldn't stop him from buying the shake, it tasted too good.

i just hope no one uses this as a barometer, thinking their big mac meal is healthy now. :S

cold stone is like crack cocaine for people with weight problems or food issues. i refuse to go in there after I came out of there with my eyes glazed over rolled up in the back of my head with my teeth chattering. after I came down, I somehow found the strength to steer away from that joint. I've been clean of that place for a few years now.

Sounds tasty ... maybe in a smaller size.

I could drink this and not gain one single pound. I could drink one every day for a month and not gain an ounce. Why? because I have a hyperactive metabolism. I also drink a lot of coffee. That helps A LOT. I have never in my life counted calories. lol!! guess I am one of the lucky ones. 5'3 110 and 30yrs old.

I was shocked when I first saw that on the news! I knew there are many things out there that are really high in calories, but I would've never thought of a normal looking milkshake to have 2,010! 131 grams of fat is also really bad for you, as no one should be having even close to that amount in a day! 153 grams of sugar is also very ridiculous! Wow! I wonder if anyone will buy that drink after reading articles about it and seeing it on T.V ... It's a good thing I like to stay away from milkshakes!

Remarkable!
