Don Gorske of Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin has eaten 23,000 McDonald’s Big Macs since 1972. Are you wondering how a person could keep track? Well evidently if you have obsessive compulsive disorder and save every single receipt for the last 36 years, it’s not difficult.
Wow, I have to admit I love a Big Mac from time to time but 23,000? That seems a tad bit much. Don is obsessed with numbers and heard that Micky D’s was keeping track of how many customers came through the “golden archs” and that spurred him to keep track of his burger intake.
Don works for a correctional institution and says that eating his Big Mac is the highlight of his day. Gorske has only ever missed his little piece of heaven once and that was due to the death of his mother.
