    It makes me realize, all of those times I thought, well, I only had a milkshake and breakfast today, I'd done myself in with just the shake!

    I never knew Pizza Hut cut their cookies like that. It's adorable!

    It's sort of obnoxious that the at home meals mostly had calorie free beverages, while the restaurants all had calorie packed XL choices. I would have liked to have seen a more realistic comparison (either no beverages at all, or more consistent beverages).

    Yeah, I noticed a lot of OJ and calorific drinks. Cheaters. :wink:

    I think I'm just bitter because I don't drink all my calories anymore. :(

    That chocolate cake!!! 1700 calories? Is it really rich, or just gigantic?

    Either way, I'm in.

    I just wish they had picked a more realistic meal for Starbucks. Three sugary drinks around the same time is an overkill.
