What's the scariest case of hidden calories in food?

A food or drink that has more calories than most would think. I think it's well understood here that soda, alcohol, and fast food has a lot more calories than you'd think. What are some others?
Packaged cookies and candy bars were a big one for me. Two cookies have around 140 (I'm thinking Oreos) I could easily eat half the box in a sitting. You're average candy bar could have between 160-250 calories. I can eat a whole bag if I don't watch myself.
Also, what about foods that you would think has a ton of calories, but has surprisingly little?

Yes, but those are calories from Protein, not carbs, so it's good for you

Just log it and make sure it meets your macros!

Restaurant salad. WTF? I could have a bacon cheese burger for the calories in some of the salads at Houlihans.

Sometime a year or two ago on a road trip I thought I'd share dessert with my 2 kids to have a treat (and save on calories by not eating the whole thing). So we ordered the apple dumpling at cracker barrel. That was the last time I ever ordered from a restaurant menu without checking the calories online first. I checked out the calories when I got home--over 3000! Must've been lard in the crust or something. Insane and completely not worth it for the small 1/3 portion that I had.
