In terms of saturated fat, drinking this Cold Stone catastrophe is like slurping up 68 strips of BACON! Health experts recommend capping your saturated fat intake at about 20 grams per day, yet this beverage packs more than three times that into a cup the size of a Chipotle burrito. But here's what's worse: No regular shake at Cold Stone, no matter what the size, has fewer than 1,000 calories. If you must drink your ice cream, make it one of the creamery's "Sinless" options. Otherwise you'd better plan on buying some bigger pants on the way home.
