He Ate How Many?

Imagine eating 23,000 Big Macs, Don Gorske doesn't have to imagine...he's done it! The 54- year-old Wisconsin man ate one Big Mac a day, every day since 1972 except on the day his mother died because that was her wish. Doubt it? Don't...he's got every receipt and box to prove it. I'm sure you're dying to know how many calories that is...we'll do the math for you...it's 12,420,000! It's enough to make you plop an Alka Seltzer or two in a glass of water and say "I can't believe I ate the whole thing!"

Hey, I love food, but I can't imagine eating 23,000 of anything can you?

Hahaha, wow, so is Dan going to stop at 23,000? I don't think I could ever commit myself to eat the same thing every day for 36 years... then again, I'm 20 years old, but still. haha.

Maybe something small like 23,000 chips, not bags of chips but single chips I could shoot for, but Big Mac's? Yikes!

I feel bad for his heart and his arteries.

Too bad we don't have a before shot of his heart and arteries to compare to the after. If that doesn't scare the hell out of the kids, nothing will!

Matt,
You are right I missed the part about the mother having died.
As sad as that is, the purpose for this guy to eat this many Big Mac's would be what?

I'm not sure legendkiller, but it wouldn't surprise me if he cashes in maybe doing some commercials with McDonald's. I don't know what his pitch would be. It's not like jared Fogle of Subway. I mean, what would he say? "Eat 23,000 Big Macs and still look like a 1970's hippy left-over"?

Ah well, let the man have his moment.

legendkiller and Matt:

This guy was in interviewed for the documentary film "Super Size Me." If memory serves, he said his only reason for eating that many was because he really likes the way they taste...

I just don't understand why this guy is as thin as he is. Maybe that's the only thing he eats?

Anyone who eats 23,000 Big Macs should get free Big Macs for life or at the very least some stock options!

Matt, he could serve as a notice from McD's that not everyone who eats what they call "food" winds up being morbidly obese.

I'll take a home-grilled cheeseburger any day, thanks!

And he claims he has 23,000 receipts to prove it. How much room in a house does 23,000 receipts take up?

TheEliteOne,

Good question...anyone else in the world got 23,000 receipts in their house?!

Ock, are you kidding? I'm lucky to hang on to warranty receipts for the 2 years. I think I have maybe 20 tucked away, for all the electronic goodies still under warranty, but that's it.

Apparently most days he ate TWO Big Macs...

2008-1972 = 36 years
36 years * 365 days = 13,140 Big Macs
+ 10,000 more!

4 Double Cheese burgers are much better than a big mac...right Chip?

Variety is the spice of life; It is good that different people do different things to stand out from the crowd; It makes the world more interesting, in my opinion.
I think it is interesting how many Big Mac's
this person has eaten. As much as I love a Big Mac, I know that I will never beat his record.
