Worst Drinks in America
Posted by Scott on May 26th, 2010
Well it is summer time and is getting really hot. With all this fur on me, being a ferret and all, I needs to cool down. Without using the old AC unit to cool down, the best method is to site down in front of the fan with a nice cold summer drink. Some of these drinks are labeled as a “health tonic”, “energy drink”, and “work out drinks”. But there is a deep dark secret with these sweet chillers.
The link points to the Men’s health 20 worst drinks in America 2010. They compare the drinks that many of us know and love with photos of the calorie equivalent in junk food form. It is quite shocking that some drinks have so many calories per bottle. Hint, the number one worst drink is equal to 30 chocolate chip cookies. There also some drinks in the list that are equal to 2 Big Macs. Is that worth it, for me, NO! I can see why America is so fat with this crazy list. Maybe we should bring back that sugar beverage tax, but by how much sugar is in the bottle.
