Man says he's eaten 23,000 Big Macs since 1972
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.

I'd bet the cholesterol got so frightened that it's just gone. There's probably a clear river of McMuck flowing through him now.

Its only 1.74 Big Macs a day.
Doesn't say anything about having fries with it. I'm sure he always gets the side salad.

He was featured in Morgan Spurolock's documnetary "Super Size Me" a few years back - his cholesterol was 155, IIRC.
He was also relatively slim.

Yes, but can he say:
"Bun seed sesame a on onions pickles cheese lettuce sauce special patties beef all two"? Fast, without thinking about it?
I've been sayin' it that way since at least 1973, possibly 1972

After 23,000 Big Macs, I'm surprised that he didn't become a huge manatee.
