And that's just their dessert. That's not likely to be the only thing someone would consume in a day.

That's the caveat right here. Most people who eat this aren't generally eating well to begin with. A lot of Americans are gonna eat a double cheeseburger and fries with a soda which can clock up to 1600 calories, then go to Baskin Robbins for dessert and have this. That's why it's entirely possible for Americans to have 5k calories in a day because that's only 1 meal and a dessert.
