Bruh if people ate that many calories every day on average they would be straight up dead within a year.

I just ate around 4400 kcal.

Bhaisaab - as long as we're talking about junk food, an extra large Icecream based Milkshake at SONIC alone will be 1200~1800 calories, depending on size. And this is considered an in between meals snack!

Sorry, that's hard to believe. Someone messed up their calculations somewhere. From your own link

The researchers calculated the average global body weight at 137 pounds, but in North America the average was 178 pounds

On topic, I remember as a kid overhearing some aunties in Pakistan saying "they are so rich, they drink Coke instead of water when they are thirsty". That was before the days of sugar awareness. Maybe such awareness is still lacking in Pakistani general population.

Global average weight of 137 pounds includes America and Europe, while 178 pounds average is just for North Americans.

Absolute nonsense, people are starving. Who are these people consuming too many calories?

Statistics are like bikinis... What they reveal is suggestive, what they conceal is vital
