@ Borotech, danopia:
Technically you may be right, but I'm guessing Scott Adams is American, and so by using the word "calorie" he is implying the American version of the word, meaning the donut has 40,000 Calories/kcal. And I think most American readers would interpret it as such.

When typed in all caps, you can't tell if he said calorie or Calorie. One of them is the American version of the "kilocalorie".

40000 calories is nothing, only a fraction of a ordinary donut, more like a few beans or a grape.
Silly americans don't know the difference between a calorie and a kilocalorie.
