I am no welterweight, but this is extraordinary:

To give you some perspective, slurping up one 32-ounce Heath Shake is the caloric equivalent of eating 12 Krispy Kreme doughnuts, the saturated fat equivalent of scarfing 60 slices of bacon, and will give you the same sugar rush as working your way through 13 Haagen Dazs Vanilla and Almond ice cream bars.

Apparently discontinued in May by Baskin Robbins — the worst drink on the planet.

  4. thudfactor says:

    Mel, Missie: it was apparently originally marketed as a health bar:

    Early ads promoted Heath as a virtual health bar ââ

  5. Rebel Squirrel says:

    It wouldn’t be nearly so bad in an 8 (or even 12) ounce size.
    who needs an entire effing quart of milkshake anyway?
