Baskin Robbins Death Shake Has 2,300 Calories
Please, do not ever buy this 2,300 calorie shake from Baskin Robbins, which contains approximately half a pound of sugar. As Consumerist reader Doug points out,
Last time I checked, an adult male should consume 2,500 calories a day, and this shake nearly meets that requirement! The saturated fat present in that shake is over 3 times the RDA of 20 grams, which will put you on the fast track for heart disease. Of course, that's if the Type 2 diabetes caused by all 266 grams of that sugar doesn't get you first.
While I believe that people should be held responsible for what they consume, I think corporations need to share just a little responsibility too, and not sell piles of liquid sugar and fat like this. I'd be surprised if even 1 in 100 of the folks that consume that shake know just how bad it is.
On the plus side, it does provide 120% of the RDA for calcium. Oh, and about 1600% of the RDA for Heath candy bars.

35 grams of protein!
Its really a protein shake! And those are healthy!! (or Heath-y in this case)
Can you really use the phrase "nutrition facts" with a singular object that carries more calories than the daily recommended value? Nutrition? Really? How about Arterial Devastation Facts? Or Obesity Inducing Facts?
