The monstrosity of a milkshake I was drinking has just been named the unhealthiest drink in America and that was confirmed to me with the very first slurp.
The heart stopping ensemble of ice cream, peanut butter and heavy cream oozed through the straw like tar and half way through I almost couldn't carry on.
Officially known as the "PB&C" - and unofficially nicknamed the "heart attack in a glass" the shake is proving a surprise hit in normally health conscious Los Angeles.
However, it has become a taste sensation and those who normally stick rigorously to roller-blading, cycling and fruit are succumbing in droves.
Presented in a giant 24 ounce cup the whole gloopy, gooey mess contains 2,010 calories, the total recommended daily allowance for a woman and only slightly fewer calories than are suggested for men, and is the equivalent of eating 68 rashers of bacon.
There are also 153 grams of sugar, the same as 30 chocolate chip cookies, which deliver an immediate buzz. The recipe is simple - take several very large dollops of chocolate ice cream, throw in a hefty wedge of peanut butter, and some heavy cream, and blend.

What kind of flagrant homosexual attacks milkshakes with scare tactics? It is probably one of the healthist drinks in the world for the Karen Carpenters out there.
It would make a good reward for dieters who lose that first 20 lbs.
A favorite joke from the classic British comedy team The Two Ronnies - “It’s like drinking peanut butter through a straw - it’s delicious eventually.”
I’m a chocolate or Arby’s jamocha shake junkie. The only combo of chocolate and peanut butter I like is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
Lol! Crack-in-a-can....BTW, the milkshake sounds perfect-PB and Chocolate.
If only they would add a banana...
What’s with all the hatred of peanut butter on this thread? Could it be because peanut butter was invented by a black man? Hmmm????? /sarc
Try peanut butter mixed with chopped dates on whole wheat bread. Heavenly.
I had no idea Coldstone did shakes. I’m going to have to try one of those.
Unless you know what this statute is about , I think I might have the peanut advantage .
Skippy creamy PB on my hot home made whole wheat with Yacks Honey from Utah , is far better than that japan meat Obama is always feeding the rats .
Can it be battered, deep fried and put on a stick?
Is that statute holding up a boll weevil?
Actually, they all sound good.
As the great one would say " THAT'S CORRECT ! "
OK, then, my eyes didn’t deceive me. What the heck! toss one of those in my shake too.
You are welcome to my share of those revolting, inedible abominations.
I agree, the combination of peanut butter and chocolate is something I find revolting.
<><><><
Totally with you on that, as regards milkshakes, but Reese’s cups revolting? I think not.
Kind of the desserty equivalent to a good hot and spicy orange sauce on stir fried beef.
It would take 4 big macs would give you the calories and fat of this milkshake.
i've never had that...
