Baskin-Robbins’ Heath Bar shake: yum?

Thanks to Hugh Joseph for alerting me to this remarkable beverage from Baskin-Robbins: a large “Heath Shake.” This energy drink weighs in at 2310 calories and, according to his count (I didn’t bother), 73 ingredients! Unless this is a joke? I can never tell with the Internet…

Unfortunately, it is NOT a joke. It has been making the rounds due to a Yahoo!Health expose at http://health.yahoo.com/experts/eatthis/5027/americas-unhealthiest-drinks-exposed/ (We have been having some time discussing some of the lower-caloried drinks on that list over at DiabeticRockstars, where the sugar in a bottle of “Vitamin Water” is enough to send some of our members scrambling for their insulin pumps.)

I just highlighted this on my blog as well. What a crack up! Enough fat at 12 Krispy Kremes. Yikes…everyone at my work today was saying, “that should be illegal”

It’s loaded with calcium. Must be good for you.
