Monday, October 22, 2007 What is really in a shake??

There's a time to indulge and a time to hold back. No matter which diet you follow (or don't follow), the creamy goodness of a shake is something many of us indulge in. And sometimes pay for.

Here are some of the cold, creamy facts about fast-food shakes and the damage delighting in them can do. Find your favorite below, and see how it contributes to your "bottom" line.

If you're headed to this curbside favorite, you'll find plenty of selections and additional toppings to add to your milk-shake fix.
