The “Ultimate Big Mac Fan” Just Ate His 35,000th Burger
Here we go Rat Rock Nation, the Big Mac Guy, Don Gorske, hit a milestone this past weekend. His name On Saturday, the 71-year-old ate his 35,000th Big Mac and he is very proud of it, averaging two Big Macs a day for 53 years.
He had his first Big Mac in 1972 and loved it so much, that he went back the same day and ate 6 more., so it came to 9 total, and he hasn’t stopped.
Don did this at the same McDonald’s in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin where he bought the first Big Mac. Fans and media were there for it. He handed out commemorative buttons and coupons for a free value meal. He’s been very open about having O.C.D. and then he said it’s why he’s so obsessed with them. He also stated they make up at least 90% of his diet, so he walks six miles a day to make up for it. Check this out back in 1999 he earned a Guinness World Record after taking down 15,000 Big Macs, and loves and takes this record very seriously. He claims he’s saved every receipt, on every Big Mac and to add he had to dial it back last week to make sure he hit 35,000. In the three days leading up to it, he only had one Big Mac a day.
Gotts’ Thoughts On This Story
I love Big Macs but can’t possibly think of eating 35,000 of them and keeping track of them. Also,I have to ask what is in the sauce they put on the Big Macs. I love that stuff! My man Don is not even overweight, so I don’t even know how he pulls that off too. I would love to hear what his doctor is telling him too. I will congratulate Don on his 35,000 Big Mac also I will say it’s a miracle you’re alive.
