The Cold Stone PB&C Milkshake

The Cold Stone PB&C Milkshake with a delightful 2,010 calories, the equivalent to  68 strips of bacon has become the target on a list of the 20 worst drinks in America compiled by Men's Health magazine.

Chef Jamie Oliver was speechless, (if that were only true) he recently waged war on obesity in a U. S. version of his Food Revolution show, read a magazine article about the shake and tweeted: ‘There are no words.’

This Cold Stone milkshake is made with peanut butter, chocolate ice cream and milk, contains 68 grams of saturated fat and 153 grams of sugar, according to nutritional details on the company's website.

"In terms of saturated fat, drinking this Cold Stone catastrophe is like slurping up 68 strips of bacon," the magazine said.

A spokesman from the Cold Stone Creamery pointed out that the company does also offer low-calorie, reduced-fat options for customers looking for "a lighter indulgence" such as its range of sinless smoothies with only 110 calories. (but nobody wants this one)

We want the Cold Stone PB&C Milkshake, it's on our must do list.
