FFS:

should be re-written as such:

"If you want an excuse to call in sick to work, drink this Baskin Robbins Shake"

The word usage is "in" and "to", not "out" and "of", get it right if you are going to speak English in a proper manner. There are thousands of these examples recently and I worry that you all are doing too many drugs and hitting record levels of stupidity.

Also, out of curiosity, should it be Baskin Robbins' shake, or is like Basking Robbins Shake the product name? Like, "Adidas Dame 6 are sick shoes," versus "Adidas' shoes are sick" or Adidas's?

Some people think sugar should essentially be treated as poisonous (at least in the way you think of consuming it) and some have said it's more harmful than tobacco.

But I've had a cigarette and I've had lots of sugar and I'd way rather have the sugar.

"Call out sick" is an actual idiom, and the preposition used varies regionally. Chill out. https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/call-in-sick-or-call-out-sick

I find your post condescending. I know my grammar, that has been confirmed, by every English teacher with whom I've spoken with. People should'nt be worried about pedants, critiquing there posts; their not here to be graded, professor.

This may be one of the most frustrating posts I have read on era honestly. I feel like this forum just isn't for you, and for many different reasons. For starters, many users that post here are not fluent in English. I know, weird concept to you I'm sure. Another reason, some posters (like myself) post laying in their bed on their phone with one hand while eating Cheetos because this isn't a fracking classroom.

If one can understand the message and point being made, it's fine. Thankfully, 99% of people here aren't grammar nazis like yourself, so again, I'll continue to use era happily. Do me a favor and put me on ignore as I'm sure I've offended you multiple times with this post with my grammar and punctuation alone.

What is with that comma you got there at the end of your first 'sentence'? Anyone who knows "English in a proper manner" wouldn't make such a blunder.

I was bored so I did some research.

The idea that a 32 oz. Baskin Robbins milkshake has 2,600 calories seems to come from a Men's Health article in 2009 (article no longer available, but see a reference here: https://www.riverfronttimes.com/foo...late-oreo-milkshake-the-worst-food-in-america). It's possible this calorie count was accurate but there seems to be no way of knowing at this current time.

As per United States law, chain restaurants of a certain size (Baskin Robbins qualifies) are required to report calorie counts, but there's a lot of uncertainty there. Without doing "bomb calorimetry" (a test that does not seem to be required), estimates are done via a basic "4-4-9" method where each gram of protein, carbohydrates, and fat are estimated at 4 or 9 calories each, with a few modifiers. But that's not particularly accurate, and deviations of up to 20% are allowed by current regulations.

Regardless, a 32 oz. Baskin Robbins Chocolate Oreo milkshake today only seems to be 1,440 calories, according to their official website. This is a bit more in line with what I'd expect. I don't know if the original image was ever true, but it does seem implausible.

Of course it's fake, but it's so much more fun to pretend it's real.

Would you drink the forbidden milkshake

the current oreo milkshake is a significantly different product (it's an oreo cookies n cream milkshake not a chocolate oreo milkshake). it looks like they put half a cup of hot fudge in the chocolate oreo milkshake, lol.

I've had this happen after post-run binges.

Assuming a healthy individual (no diabetes, etc), the body's response is called reactive hypoglycemia.

The pancreas creates a lot of insulin to handle the blood sugar surge.
The adrenal system sees this as a trigger event and ups cortisol and epinephrine (fight or flight response). At that point you can have a short euphoria or awareness boost.

Some minutes later, the insuline response is so powerful that blood sugar becomes dangerously low (hypoglycemia).
Homeostatis is disrupted for some hours, you have all the symptoms of hypoglycemia and rebound from the acute stress response. If you really ate a lot of sugar it's possible the digestive system is over its processing limit, adding bloating to the general malaise as you pass half digested food in the digestive track.

It was also 36 ounces. That's enormous. Most people won't drink more than 36 ounces of water in a day. That's ONE serving of milkshake. Bruh...
