FOND DU LAC, Wis. — A retired prison guard ate his 25,000th Big Mac on Tuesday, 39 years to the day after eating his first ... nine.

Don Gorske was honored after reaching the meaty milestone during a ceremony at a McDonald's in his hometown of Fond du Lac. Surely McDonald's most loyal customer, Guinness World Records recognized Gorske's feat three years and 2,000 Big Macs ago, and the 57-year-old says he has no desire to stop.

"I plan on eating Big Macs until I die," he said. "I have no intentions of changing. It's still my favorite food. Nothing has changed in 39 years. I look forward to it every day."

The sign beneath the golden arches Tuesday read "Congrats Don Gorske 25000 Big Macs."

Before he ate No. 25,000, he showed dozens of onlookers many of the different styles of cartons he has collected over the years and other Big Mac-related stories.

Before biting into the sandwich, he said, "It's been seven years since 20,000. Same thing goes this year folks. You can't have the carton and it probably still takes 16 bites for me to finish a Big Mac."

The crowd erupted into applause.

Gorske, who appeared in the 2004 documentary "Super Size Me," which examined the fast food industry, looks nothing like one might expect of a fast food junkie. He's trim and walks regularly for exercise, and he attributes his build to being "hyperactive." He said he was recently given a clean bill of health and that his cholesterol is low.

Gorske's obsession with the burger — two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun, for those not familiar with the once-ubiquitous ads — started May 17, 1972, when he bought three Big Macs to celebrate the purchase of a new car. He was hooked, and went back to McDonald's twice more that day, eating nine before they closed.

He's only gone eight days since without a Big Mac, and most days he eats two. Among the reasons he skipped a day was to grant his mother a dying wish. His last Big Mac-less day was Thanksgiving 2000, when he forgot to stock up and the store was closed for the holiday.

Dadgum.

There's a lot of different food I love....but none that much. I like a little variety in my life.

 

[The Morningstar]

Why are people applauding him? lol.

He must weigh like, 500 lbs or something.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

This begs the greater question... Is he autistic or just insane?


"his mother's dying wish was for him to go a day without eating a big mac".... this obsession was obviously having a negative impact on his life.

Indeed I now recall seeing him on some MSNBC special about the McWorld...he's actually quite fit and trim, as this article says.

His insides might tell a completely different story. A man can be skinny and still have cholesterol blocking his arteries.

Perhaps you should read the article -

He should start on Whoppers now.

Some people just take the Lay's chip slogan to heart. "Betcha can't just one".

 

[Drizzle]

Even though he has a clean bill of health, I still say it's going to bite him in the ass someday. Too much of anything isn't good for you, especially Big Macs.

 

[chaseter]

I bet I have eaten more slices of pizza Amateur.

Even though science and facts have destroyed my argument, I'm going to keep believing what I believe.

Are you a birther by any chance?

To be honest I only read up to the part where the crowd burst into applause. Then shed a tear.

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

I don't see how he can still take a dump. Red meat stays in your system so long.

Thats a little too much info.........

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

Someone needs to tell him that much info.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Well I guess congrats to him. They should give him free Big Macs for life.

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

I don't see Mickey D's having a problem with that. He's not gonna live much longer eating like that everyday.

Just saying it might not end well, that's all. And if you call me a birther again, I will hunt you down and kill you.

Just kidding.

Not really.

Darthphere cannot be killed. He is above such foolish mortality.

What I find the most disgusting about this is that he stocks up for days when McDonalds is closed. That stuff does not keep past the half hour mark, it's like it goes from delicious to tasting like what it really is, garbage.

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

Yeah that's nasty!

 

[Shemtov]

What gets me is the fact he counted.
