The Sonic 2000 calorie single shake is pretty nuts. I can imagine someone pairing it with a 2000+ calorie meal and not thinking they're slamming nearly 5k calories into their bodies. Although I suppose someone who drinking half a gallon of milkshake with a meal probably doesn't care.
Also personally I could eat 2 burgers at shake shack with fries. Such a fatty :<
- karlshea 10y agoI don't think that's really a big problem if it's occasional. Once you're doing that a couple times a week is when it adds up.
- AJ007 10y agoIf you can consume this and not feel sick afterwards, your diet is already fucked up.
- mod 10y agoMany, many animals evolved in this fashion. Any animal that hunts. I don't think you should have a digestion problem after ingesting 4k calories.
- pjc50 10y agoIndeed. There used to be a lot more people with heavy manual jobs for whom eating 4k at a sitting was a very regular event. But they've mostly been automated away.
- justin66 10y agoYeah, but the way you're getting the calories matters. There's nothing similar about metabolizing 4000 calories worth of raw meat vs. metabolizing an enormous milkshake.
- jtuente 10y agoDoing that even once a week with a regular diet the rest of the time, someone could gain 35+ pounds per year.
- swah 10y agoAgreed, 19k calories per week vs 14k calories, say. That's a 35% increase. One would have to plan and follow their daily calorie intake very well to be able to consume that milkshake regularly...
- SonicSoul 10y agoI was once addicted to venti java chip frappuccinos. i'd have them every day (sometimes 2) which is one of my low points. So just went back to compare and that's just 500 calories! https://www.caloriecount.com/calories-starbucks-coffee-java-chip-frappuccino-i57310 https://www.caloriecount.com/calories-starbucks-coffee-java-... Kudos to Sonic for squeezing 4 times more into similar size cup. That thing must taste like a pinnacle of our culinary achievement.
- bduerst 10y agoCinnabon rolls used to have ~1,800 calories, though I think they've dialed it back to 900 now. The smell is 0 calories at least.
- madamelic 10y agoShakes are very good for exactly that. When I was recovering from anorexia, I got a large milkshake every night. Milkshakes are really, really easy ways to get enormous amounts of calories into yourself.
