Wtf. How can anyone eat that? It would be like dropping a bomb in my stomach.

If there are any non-Americans seeing this thing and thinking, "What's wrong with Americans‽" this is not a normal thing for people to consume here in the US. I will never have that drink. Not because I'm controlling myself for my health, but because I would be too repulsed by that much sweetness and heaviness. This is made for a specific portion of the population: those that are struggling with eating healthy. Of everyone I know, I can only think of two people that could even consume that thing, and both of them have a poor relationship with food.

People in the US drink/eat stuff like this all the time, it’s why they are overweight. Not everyone, but a not insignificant number of people.

I drink too many of these and am a healthy weight! I'm just unhealthy because I drink those instead of having actual food so Im malnourished (I exaggerate but holy fuck I don't know how someone can have that with a meal and finish both,I never can)

I hear you, I’m relatively very healthy, but for a period of time was having something similar to this but probably less extreme a couple times a week. By US standards people would think my weight was normal at that time, but for me I was overweight. Unless you’re burning very high amounts of calories (sometimes I do) these kinds of items have a big impact on anyone’s weight.
