Americans parted ways with milkshakes this year, and, thanks to Instagram, expected their blended ice cream creations to be topped with cookies, candies and even whole slices of cake in the beloved "freakshake," which is something that&apos;s just as scary as it sounds.
At the start of 2016, hardly prime milkshake season in the Northeast, New York&apos;s Black Tap drew hours-long waits for their viral, over-the-top milkshakes and freakshakes, which can cost $12 and were topped with chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches, face-sized lollipops, chunky slices of cake and more.
Black Tap hardly invented the freakshake: Pâtissez, a cafe in Canberra, Australia, gained Internet fame for its freakshakes in 2015, and the U.K. has a steady record of purveying freakshakes over the past year.
While the freakshake trend may be a brilliant way to blend several desserts into one tall glass, it can&apos;t possibly be calorie-counter friendly.
Assuming you don&apos;t like the extra cookie crumbs on the side... the grand total is 1643 calories!
Other estimates set a Black Tap milkshake back at 1,600 calories so, yes, this is pretty spot on.
If you want to drink almost your entire day&apos;s worth of calories in one sugary beverage, this is it!
