And he kept every receipt

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.
Well, then

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 :lol:

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

Wow! That's almost...2 pounds of beef!
I am about 25% sure of this.
