I don't think anyone would EVER consider most of these drinks to be healthy, but it's still interesting to see just how bad some things can be!

    Wow, I never knew Rockstar Energy Drink puts a warning "Not recommended for children or pregnant women on it".

    I never did drink any of that stuff. Sure they are bad for you but it's obvious.

    Seems like common sense to me though. It is an energy drink after all! I wouldn't want my kid all jacked up on that stuff!

    Minute Maid Lemonade and Cranberry grape juice mixed together are what I had at least 3 or 4 times a week..It was/is the BEST drink ever. Now I'm sad. lol. :sad:

    All of Mcdonalds milkshakes are pretty bad for you, even the lighter ones like Strawberry ):

    I LOVE the cake batter shake at Coldstone. Then one day, years ago, I checked the nutritional info just for *** and giggles since I knew it was going to be ridiculous. I had NO IDEA it was that ridiculous. I haven't had one since. I miss having them like once every few months, but damn.

    I've tried a mouthful of "Peanut butter and banana" milkshake at a place in England called Red Dog Saloon (http://www.reddogsaloon.co.uk/) that was really nice, but I'm guessing one of those is near to the milkshake on there.

    And as for Mountain Dew - we get it over here, and if I had it, it used to give me the evil-est headache and I'm not surprised with that amount of sugar in it!!

    can't get McDonald's Triple Thick Chocolate Shake in UK. It has 168g sugar. The highest I could find was Large shake with 86. Too bad, I wanted to try that and see if I explode or something:)
