Man says he's eaten 23,000 Big Macs since 1972
Quote:FOND DU LAC, Wis."A 54-year-old man says his obsessive-compulsive disorder drove him to eat 23,000 Big Macs in 36 years. Fifty-four-year-old Don Gorske says he hit the milestone last month, continuing a pleasurable obsession that began May 17, 1972 when he got his first car.
Does he have his own ZIP code?
The article also said he has a compulsive disorder. He got the idea of keeping a record of all the Bic Macs he's ever eaten from McDonalds-- much in the way the fast-food chain keeps a record of all its customes served. Apparently, the Big Mac is the highlight of his day.
He's kept every receipt. The article said during this time he's only gone one day without a Big Mac--the day of his mother's funeral, which was a request from her.
@Cliff Hanger,
He could be the spokesman for McDonald's much like Jared is for Subway...I wonder what he looks like?
Here's one from when he'd eaten 20,000.
I don't think he eats the fries or drinks the soda. I could be wrong. But I think I remember hearing that somewhere.
and a little of every one is still in his colon...
@mismi,
Always here to brighten your day.
The Food channel did a segment on him.
In my younger years, I use to eat Big Macs once a week. The Big Mac, like everything else, has downsized. I would guess maybe fifteen percent.
Two all beef patty, special sauce, lett..........
@Robert Gentel,
The anti-Jared strikes. I wonder what this guy's BMI is. He may be one of the lucky few that can legitimately eat garbage and manage to thrive.
Took me almost a week to eat a Big Mac....and yes, I supersized.
@mismi,
I heard a discussion of him on the radio - they claimed he was 6'2" weighed 180 pounds.
