Holy Big Mac: Man Eats 25,000 Big Macs

A Fond Du Lac man is about to eat his 25,000 Big Mac today in a local McDonalds.
From jsonline: Don Gorske plans to eat his 25,000th Big Mac on the 39th anniversary of eating his first.
A special ceremony is planned at McDonald's in Fond du Lac Tuesday afternoon.
The 57-year-old Fond du Lac man said he ate nine on May 17, 1972 and has only missed nine days since then, for various reasons. He usually eats two a day.
He has kept most of the boxes or receipts or has made specific notes in calendars that he's kept.
Gorske said he probably has an obsessive-compulsive disorder but he doesn't consider it a problem.
He jokes that 25,000 is a milestone because people didn't think he'd live this long. But he said he recently saw a doctor who said he was in good health and his cholesterol was low.


The guy has spent about $75,000 eating his Big Macs in the past 39 years. This comes to about 642 a year or about 2 Big Macs a day, which I guess isn't that impressive.

But he was able to document it and now he gets to enjoys the spoils of his accomplishment.

And if you look at his picture in the article, he is not big and fat.

I am sure the Big Mac tastes a whole lot better than tofu and carrots, so here's to Gorske and I hope he eats another 25,000.
