Supreme-ly Clogged Arteries?
Toronto is heading into another line-up of days with humidex readings in the unpleasant range. The prairies are being hit by record setting heat, but even without a heat-wave, a lot of people are thinking in terms of a nice cool drink. Stepping up to bat is Tim Horton's with a new take on their iced capp, the Iced Capp Supreme.
On the theory of "forewarned is forearmed" let me give you a few numbers relevant to the Butter Caramel Iced Capp Supreme. Since it's the one being hyped lately in a lot of TV ads, that might well be the one you ask for when you step up for your turn at the counter.
A large 18-ounce cup Supreme will cost your waistline 560 calories. It'll assault your arteries with 17 grams of saturated fat and 1 gram of trans fat. Instead of
the "caramel drizzle", it should come complete with a cardiologist to check your heartrate as you down it. The good folks at Tim Horton's should consider printing the cups with the picture of a clogged artery shown here. That way, people ordering one would be better able to think of it as cardiac arrest in a cup. Not even the villainous Big Mac matches it for damage waiting to be done. McDonald's famous nasty-in-a-bun weighs in at 540 calories and 10 grams of saturated fat, plus 1/2 gram trans fat.
Some supposedly health-conscious types are suggesting you can cut down on its health-hacking properties by asking for 2% or even 1% chocolate milk instead of the cream used otherwise and requesting the whipped cream normally piled on top be omitted. Of course, if you do that, you're not really getting a Supreme anyway, so why bother?
Either make sure your will is up-to-date before you start guzzling these killers, or just display a little supreme smarts of your own and skip this one altogether.
