20 Worst Drinks in America 2010-8. Worst Frozen Mocha
Così Double Oh! Arctic Mocha (gigante, 23 fl oz)
662 calories
26 g fat (15 g saturated)
88 g sugars
Sugar Equivalent: 19 Oreo Cookies

The good news here is that this drink used to be twice as bad - and used to contain as much sugar as in 41 Oreo Cookies (pictured). The bad news is that even though it's halved the calories, it's still a piece of work. A frozen mocha will never be a stellar option, but we’ve still never come across anything that competes with this cookie-coffee-milkshake hybrid from Così. Essentially it’s a mocha Blizzard made with Oreo cookies and topped with whipped cream and an oversize Oreo. The result is a beverage with more calories than two Big Macs and more sugar than any other drink in America
