fat cream

A recent article in USA Today reports that your favorite ice cream treat can contain more than half of your recommended daily caloric consumption (2k calories/day).

Some disturbing data:
  • A Vanilla Milk Shake from Baskin Robins (24 oz.) contains 1,070 calories.
  • A Ben & Jerry's Brownie Special (10 oz.) has 1,020 calories.
  • A Cold Stone Creamery Mud Pie Mojo (12 oz.) has 1,180 calories.
  • A TCBY Toffee Coffee Cappuccino Chiller (24 oz.) has 1,200 calories.
  • A Haagen-Daz Mint Chip Dazzler (14 oz.) has a whopping 1,270 calories!
I'm staying away from ice cream for a while.
