Is sesame oil the most fattening substance on earth?

The internet is unclear on this question. But at 120-150 calories per teaspoon, is it safe to say it takes the prize in all known earth substances that are consumed?

I doubt that's correct.

No
All fats are pretty similar- about 9 Kcal per gram, iirc.

The calorific value of sesame oil  is 898 kcal/100g, and  a teaspoon is 5ml, or 4.6g.

So 898*0.046 = 41.3kcal/teaspoon, or 123.9kcal/tablespoon.
