Worst Slush
Sonic Route Large Lemon-Berry CreamSlush (20 oz)
630 calories 15 g fat (9 g saturated, 0.5 g trans) 99 g sugars

To be fair, this belly blaster is more of a shake-slush hybrid: half sugar-saturated ice and half high-fat ice cream. Think it sounds tasty alongside a Sonic Cheeseburger and fries? Maybe so, but that's a meal that will cost you more than 1,500 calories.

Drink This Instead!
Small Strawberry Real Fruit Slush (14 oz)
210 calories 0 g fat 52 g sugars


Worst Milk Shake
Cold Stone Creamery Gotta Have It PB&C Shake
2,010 calories 131 g fat (68 g saturated) 153 g sugars
The PB&C is intended to denote peanut butter and chocolate, but the more accurae translation might be potbellies and cardiovascular disease. After all, this one drink does pack more calories than a dozen ice cream sandwiches and more saturated fat than nearly 20 large orders of McDonald's French fries. And what's even more depressing is that no shake on Cold Stone's menu, not even the small sizes, falls below 1,000 calories. Choose a small ice cream and use the 1,640 calories for something with at least a trace of nutritional value.
