Hardee's did it again!

A while back Hardee's shocked the fast food world with the Monster Burger - a whopping 1,420 calorie wasit buster.

Now they made another change from low calorie to high calorie - a handmade milkshake that has 715 calories (only slightly more than the old milkshake) but the fat content jumped from 7 grams to 33 grams.

Why the huge increase in fat?

They switched from the ultra processed machine made shake which was makde with 3.5% butterfat ice milk to real 12% butterfat ice cream. And that caused the fat calories to jump but interestingly has an impact on the bottom line of only 15 calories gain over the old milkshake.

I don't know which is better - getting a real hand-made ice cream shake that tastes really good or getting one of these ultra processed, ultra sugarized production line shake. I think I lean towards the real milk shake made with real ice cream and a lot less sugar than the typical fast food shake.
