Eat This, Not That is a really informative site on what's healthy and also unhealthy, to eat and drink.
On the latter theme, their recent post on the 20 Worst Drinks in America 2010 contains some staggering facts on the junk we throw down our necks. They pull no punches with big brands like Starbucks, Dairy Queen, McDonalds and Baskin-Robbins all taking hits. For example, the following is in 3rd place overall for the worst drive-thru shake:
McDonalds Triple Thick Chocolate Shake (large 32 fl oz).
It contains 1,160 calories, 27g of fat and a whopping 168g of sugar.
The drink is the equivalent of eating 13 McDonald's Baked Hot Apple Pies.
Not only does this shake have more than half your day’s caloric and saturated fat allotment and more sugar than you’d find in Willy Wonka’s candy lab, but Ronald even finds a way to sneak in a full day of cholesterol-spiking trans fat. The scariest part about this drink is that it’s most likely America’s most popular milk shake.

Ed. It's worth checking out the other 19 drinks on the list. Not all are sold in Thailand but I reckon you'll be amazed by the fat and sugar content of many other branded drinks.
