As well as tasty pizza, Domino's is renowned for its zesty garlic and herb dip, but fans have been left "shook" after learning the sauce's calorie count.

The fast food giant gives a single serving of dip free with every delivery and due to its popularity, customers can pay for a 100g pot of the good stuff. But fans may be disappointed to hear that one large pot contains more calories than two McDonald's cheeseburgers.

Four times the size of a standard container, one 100g pot of garlic and herb sauce contains a whopping 675 calories. The size is meant for sharing, but it's not uncommon for dip addicts to enjoy a whole one with their pizza.

A McDonald's cheeseburger is about 263 calories, so one large pot is double that, or two whole sandwiches. Meanwhile, a 25g pot contains a hefty 169 calories, which is still higher calories than an average pizza slice.

Back in 2015, Domino's unveiled its super-sized garlic and herb dip at the request of customers, who complained that their single size serving wasn't enough. Domino's fans took to Twitter to comment on the revelation as one said: "600 calories in a pot of Domino's garlic and herb dip - I AM SHOOK!!!"

Another wrote: "As if the 100g pot of Domino's garlic and herb dip has 675 calories in it. Byeeeeeee."

A spokesperson for Domino's said: "Our Garlic & Herb Big Dip is great for sharing with family and friends, and we recommend each party size should serve at least four people. Single size pots are also available at 169 cals each.

"We’re committed to providing transparent nutritional information on our website and via our app, to enable customers to make informed decisions."

Ice cream lovers were recently left gobsmacked after learning the sugar content of one Flake 99, ahead of the summer season when the frozen treat's popularity soars.
