America Runs (?) on Dunkin' Donuts

And very likely gasping for air after sixty seconds, if it frequently consumes two of the famed donut shop's newest products.

A large Milky Way Hot Chocolate contains 400 calories, 58 grams (14.5 teaspoons) of sugar, 35 percent of the daily sodium limit, and an astounding 60 percent of the daily saturated fat limit.

Even the small size packs in a hefty 30 percent of a day's maximum saturated fat intake.

If you choose to accompany that beverage with a new Sausage Supreme Omelette Sandwich, be sure to give your arteries a heads up the night before.

By the time you swallow the last bite, the sandwich has provided 530 calories, 72 percent of the daily saturated fat limit, 45 percent of the daily sodium limit, and a measly two grams of fiber!

Sadly, the sausage supreme pales in comparison to the Bacon Lover's Supreme Breakfast Sandwich. Do you really want to start your day with 640 calories, 95 percent of the daily saturated fat limit, and 47 percent of the daily sodium limit?
