Bacon Milkshake - Gross!

[MASS1961]

Heard on the radio news this morning that a fast food chain in America is selling Bacon flavoured Milkshakes using a syrup not real bacon.

The nutritional value details for a 16oz shake are:

773 calories
40 grams of fat

Think it should be nicknamed "The Heart Attack"

Unbelievable this is allowed when the USA has one of highest rates of obesity.

I might buy some Bacon Jam..

Sounds like something disgusting Heston Blumenprat would concoct

Now you can believe that the USA has one of the highest rates of obesity :-)

I wouldn't be surprised at anything from the USA. I read in Time magazine that the latest craze in the Mid-West is - deep fried butter stick! It's half a pound of butter, on a stick - and deep fried!

When I was in the US years ago I stopped for lunch at a 'Dunkin' Donuts'. This place sold nothing but donuts, but there were hundreds of different toppings. A 'meal' was 12 donuts for $2.50. I only wanted two donuts and the man at the checkout looked at me like I was mad and I still had to pay $2.50 for my two sickly donuts. When I looked around I noticed that everyone else - including children - had a mound of 12 donuts on their plates. I also noticed that everyone polished off all 12 donuts! I didn't manage two!

aw, what a gross idea. Bacon sarnie and milk to drink, yes, but not all in the same glass.

Bacon jam is gorgeous!
