			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While waiting in line the other day to get a pearl milk tea from Fantasia, I started talking to Bert (who has officially become a Nor-Cal resident) about how many calories were in one of these pearl filled drinks.  We didn&#8217;t come to any conclusive answer, but for those people that crave random trivia or always wonder &#8220;how many calories is in this thing&#8221;&#8230; read on. </p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t find any published Fantasia nutritional facts online, but based on the various sources, it turns out that these pearl milk teas might have quite a few more calories than you would expect.   According to <a href="http://www.nutrition.com.sg/do/hbeverage.asp">Nutrition.com.sg</a>, one of these drinks has 340 calories.  While other sites neglect to say a specific number, they explain that the majority of the calories come from the following:  </p>
<p>1.  the milk which can ranges in calories based on what type: low fat, non fat, etc.<br />
2.  the pearls which may have 7-14 calories for each pearl!!  (the number of pearls per drink ~ 30?)</p>
<p>Basically, with these figures, some sites claim that one drink can get upwards of 500-800 calories depending on the size. </p>
<p>Some more drink trivia:<br />
Grande Caramel Macchiato w. 2% Milk &#8211; 225 Calories<br />
Krispy Kreme Glazed Donut &#8211; 200 Calories<br />
In-N-Out Burger Vanilla Shake &#8211; 680 Calories<br />
Diet Dr. Pepper &#8211; 0 Calories</p>
