KOALA IS AMAZED AND DISGUSTED

My friend linked me to an article about America's Unhealthiest Drinks. 

You know that Vitamin Water everyone loves? Well that's on the list. The say that drink has nearly as much sugar and calories that a can of soda has. Although, that's comparing a 20 oz bottle of Vitamin Water to an 8 oz. can of soda ... I think it would have been better if they actually compared 8 oz of this drink to 8 oz of soda. Now all these people are going to think that drinking soda is better than drinking Vitamin Water. They also make tiny bottles of Vatimin Water. I'm not exactly sure how many ounces they are, but something tells me 6 oz I don't really feel like looking this up because this isn't really the point of this entry. 

I just brought that up because I like Vitamin Water, especially in the little tiny bottles. 
I was already aware of how much sugar and calories it had in it before I read that little article.
Seriously, if people are really worried about calorie and sugar consumption I think they would read the lable. 


Anyway. 
Time for the monster drink of all drinks. 

The Unhealthiest Drink in America is ... *cues drum roll* 


Taa-daa!  ~~~~ ~~~~  Baskin Robbin's Large Heath Bar Shake

In comes in at a whopping 32 ounces of pure sugary-fatty goodness.
This whole drink contains 2,310 calories. I'm sure you are all aware that this ONE drink is more than the daily recommened calorie intake.
"According to the FDA, the average American takes in 82 grams of added sugars every day." With that in mind, this drink has 3 times as many grams of sugar that the average American consumes in one day -- 266 grams of sugar to be exact. Just the thought of that much sugar in ONE drink is making my teeth rot. There are also 108 grams of fat and 64 grams of saturated fat. On the up side, the drink seems to be rich in Vitamin A and Calcium. 

Just thinking of all that sugar is giving me a stomach ache. I just can't imagine someone actually drinking that whole entire monstrosity. Then people wonder why America is over-weight.. Seriously ... 

Well, the good thing is that this won't be around for much longer. 
It's supposed to be on its way out in about a week or sooner. 


D=    I think I just gained a couple of pounds by looking at the picture and reading the nutritional information.

I think Americans should be given free Wiis along with the Wii Fitness game in a national campaign towards fighting obesity. =D 
Okay, so I just want a damn fucking Wii ... ;o;   All that economic stimulus money could have gone to providing me with a Wii ... D=
