Forget a 16oz. Coke, this small sundae, at least it looks small in the pic, has 510 calories, 18 grams of fat, and 61 grams of sugar. You KNOW you want one. smiling smiley


Ok, here's a pic.

That's just... well, heck, a diabetic coma AND a heart attack in one sitting.

I don't understand the fascination with Bacon Everything. I mean, Bacon is ok and all. Tons of sodium, but hey....

Well, I guess I might want one to throw on someone I hate. Wow, that is stunningly disgusting.

If Bloomberg were really serious about attacking the sugar and fat purveyors, he'd try to get rid of the disgusting fat food franchises that have sprouted like festering boils all over the city: Dunkin Donuts, KFC, Taco Bell, TGI Friday, MacDonald's, Burger King, 7-11, and so forth.

The contrast in flavors/texture/moisture content/etc. is what makes it tasty.

Think of prosciutto and melon.

I'v also eaten raw onion dipped in black bean sauce as an appetizer. Quite yummy.

There's a fantastic ice cream shop in the mission (SF) that makes a variety called "Secret Breakfast". Creamy vanilla ice cream, with scotch and corn flakes.

And it is awesome.

Hey, nobody's telling you to eat at those places. Some of us like them! Tell Nanny Bloomberg to MYOB.

Looks decent, but I think my maple bacon ice cream would beat it hands-down.

I did have maple vanilla soft serve at a sugar shack once and I pretty much thought I was going to die right there on the spot. under the spigot.

Okay -- an employee of a friend of mine just brought one to work. It looks NOTHING like the publicity photos.

It looks like someone got confused and jammed a couple strips of bacon onto a cup of dairy-free "iced treat".

Well, thanks for posting the real thing, $tevie.

I think I would just eat the bacon and then the sundae. The bacon does look like it is cooked the way I used to like it, before I gave up meat.

Ah, but there is method behind the madness. If you can only buy a 16 oz pop at one time, and you want more, then you buy a second and pay the tax on that second drink...

I think you missed the point. He's obviously not serious about attacking the sugar and fat purveyors.

Of course lots of people like the CrapFood chains; lots of people also like crack, cigarettes, booze, and unprotected sex with strangers. It all adds up to poor health. We all pay for it.

We're stuck with the chain stores (CrapFood, drug stores, banks) in NYC because small business people generally can't pay the insane commercial rents. It wasn't like that when I moved here, and the city was a lot more interesting for it. The available food choices tended to be much better as well. I hate what has happened to what used to be a much more vital and diverse place.
