I happened by a Yahoo! article recently,
6-essential-flat-belly-foods (I have no clue what Quinoa is, but it looks like oatmeal), and I disagree that eating lots of eggs and avocado is a good idea since I know eggs can cause high cholesterol (if you eat the yolk) and avocado is fatty (in the article they make it seem like it's a good kind of fat...not quite sure). However, grapefruit, bitter and all, green tea, and yogurt seem like possible flat-belly foods; though what really attracted me was America's unhealthiness drinks list.
Worst Soda (drum roll please)
Sunkist (12 oz can)
Author's comment: I always chose Sunkist over Cola and Sprite. Dang it all!
Worst Healthy drink
Glaceau Vitamin Water (20 oz bottle)
Author's comment: I knew there was something fishy with these drinks! Dragon fruit flavor is mighty delicious though.
Worst Iced Tea
Lipton Iced Brisk Lemon Iced Tea (20 oz bottle)
Author's comment: I used to drink this a lot...thinking it was better than soda. Joke's on me huh.
Worst Frozen Coffee Drink
Cosi Gigante Double OH! Arctic (24 oz)
Author's comment: Never heard of this and can't find any pictures too; sorry!
Worst Drink in America
Baskin-Robbins Large Health Bar Shake
Author's comment: Baskin-Robbins anything is unhealthy. Actually, the drink is called the Heath Bar Shake; did they mean Heath or Hea
lth? Heath Bar Shake makes no sense.
Worst Chocolate Milk
Nesquik (16 oz bottle)
Author's comment: ...I drank this too.
Worst Beer
Sierra Nevada Stout (12 oz bottle)
Worst Light Beer
Samuel Adams Light (12 oz bottle)
Author's comment: There's no such thing as light beer! It's all a lie!
Worst Hot Coffee
Starbucks Venti 2% Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha
Author's comment: Why bother buying this? The time you take to say this is how long the coffee probably takes to be made.
Worst Summer Cocktail
Pina Colada
Author's comment: No. No. NO. Say it ain't so!
Worst Juice Imposter
Arizona Kiwi Strawberry (23.5 oz can)
Author's comment: I drink Arizona Green tea with ginseng, Black & White, and, on occasion, the mango flavored one when I'm feeling fruity. Otherwise, the other Arizona drinks taste weird when you drink too much of it.
For the caloric intake and the reasons why they're so healthy, you can go to the site
here, where I found these fun facts. They will also give you other Worst drinks that I didn't list in this post.
Do you think these drinks are the worst out of their categories? How surprised and horrified were you?

Baskin-Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake
2,310 calories
108 g fat (64 g saturated)

!!!
In one drink?!?!
2,310cal could last me like 3 days.
Heath is a brand of candy bars. And not Sunkist!
"did they mean Heath or Health? Heath Bar Shake makes no sense" .. HEATH Bar is a candy bar.. Toffee and chocolate, good too! plus ALL those drinks have the "nutitional info" on them so everyone that can read knows what they are drinking.
@kimtendo@xanga - Dear God, that's my entire calorie intake allowance and then some. Makes you really think about what you are eating and drinking, huh!
Not Pina Colada!!!!
Besides that I'm good. I have drank nesquik and lipton but those were rare. I'd rather have coca cola.
Dammit, this just ruined Nesquik.
None of those surprise me.
Kelly Clarkson was the spokesperson for Glaceau Vitamin Water but gained weight so they "fired" her. Lol, it was probably their drinks making her fat.
Out of the two, I'd probably still pick Sunkist over Coke. I've seen the damage phosphoric acid can do.
I actually wasn't surprised by any of these, not even pina colada. love the taste, but it's easy to tell it's not exactly the healthiest drink out there.
Not surprised. But dang... I love Sunkist. BUT I laugh at people who buy Vitamin Water
I love to read the funny stories they put on Glaceau Vitamin Water bottles.
HAha! I knew Vitamin Water was a scam!
Heath is the kind of candy/chocolate they like.. put in it. Uh, there are examples in the picture you posted up..as the topping. I think. o_o lawl. I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE.
I've heard about the Heath Bar Shake being that bad. Ugh, it makes me shudder. Large Triple Thick Shakes from McDonald's are pretty terrible too. Vitamin Water being on this list makes me sad, I must admit. haha
Why am I not surprised...
NoooO! Not my beloved Pina Colada!!
The only one of those I'd drink is the Heath Bar Shake, but I've never actually had one. It sounds mighty tasty, though. Mmmm... calories. (Please give me a kiddie-sized portion, though.)
thank goodness i dont drink any of these!
thank god I didnt buy vitamin water
EVERYBODY IS DRINKING IT
& the rainbow flavours looks ohh soo tastyy
dang it.. i love vitamin water -____-
but but but i love vitamin water!!!!!!! *cries* lol
seriously i love vitamin water dangg ittt.
Avocado fat is a good fat.
Like the fat in nuts, seeds and oily fish.
And eggs giving you high cholesterol is a myth. But it is true that most of the fat and calories are in the yolk and too much isn't good. But too much of anything is bad.
@kimtendo@xanga - omg 2310! thats is exactly between 3.3 and 4.2 days worth of calories for me. Wow
I am most surprise about Sunkist, I dont drink this soda anywhere.
I do not like fruit flavored soda's, or ones that are too sweet so I hate sunkist, I like that starbucks drink when I want something really sweet around christmas, and I love nesquik even if I haven't had one in probably 2 years. Tried lipton onces and wasn't impressed, and your right arizona drinks are either too sweet or funky, I only like the green tea. Don't like beer, the rest I just haven't tried.
But very informative list, now I can tell my sister why arizona is so bad when she thinks she is drinking something healthy :).
