Man gets Big Mac attack — 23,000 times
54-year-old says OCD drove him to eat a burger nearly every day since 1972

Talk about a Big Mac attack! Don Gorske says he has eaten 23,000 of the burgers in 36 years.

The Fond du Lac man said he hit the 23,000 milestone last month, continuing a culinary obsession that began May 17, 1972, and is fed by his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

“I enjoy them every day,” said Gorske, 54. “I need two to fill me up.”

Gorske has kept every burger receipt in a box. He says he was always fascinated with numbers, and watching McDonald’s track its number of customers motivated him to track his own consumption.

Despite a diet some would call unhealthy, Gorske says he keeps himself in good shape. He says he’s 6-foot-2 and weighs 185 pounds, and walks as many as 10 miles a day.

He used to order fries every day in the 1980s but began to cut back in the ’90s, now eating them about once a month. He eats two Big Macs and two parfaits a day. Gorske has written a book about his experience.

'I'm not going to change'
“Sometimes people call me a freak but it doesn’t bother me. I just say respect people as they are,” he told The Associated Press. “I just want to make sure people understand I’m not going to change.”

He can instantly recall the eight days in which he failed to satisfy his craving. One was in 1988, the day his mother died, to respect a request she made.

“I made a promise to her and I always keep my promises,” he said. “I also promised her I wouldn’t cut my hair and in 20 years I haven’t.”

He twice failed to attack a Big Mac because of his job. A correctional-institution employee, he said a number of work emergencies kept him on the clock past midnight so he recorded those days as missed days.

Three other times he was traveling and couldn’t find a McDonald’s. He also went Big Mac-less on Thanksgiving Day 2000, and during a 1982 snowstorm that prevented the local McDonald’s franchise from opening.

“That’s when I started a habit where I kept them in the freezer,” he said. He keeps one or two burgers on hand but increases his inventory to four to five during the winter.

  62. 62

    Wow ! I treat myself to 2 Big Macs a year. I wish McD's would come out with a mini version so I wouldn't feel so guilty.



  63. 63

    thats cool, but didn't we already hear of this guy from "supersize me" …? he was in the documentary. he had a big mac shirt on… he kinda looked like john lennon or ozzy osbourne with like an odd hair cut.. and very tall… yeah…



  64. 64

    How on Earth did this man live to 54???



  65. 65

    THAT SECRET SAUCE IS SOME GOOD SHIT! HEY LETTY B!

    Re: _Alice_ – IT'S SPECIAL SAUCE



  69. 69

    Wow, that's crazy! But if he's not hurting anyone then more power to him!



  70. 70

    That looks pretty good right about now…



  71. 71

  73. 73

  75. 75

  77. 77

    thats fuckin awesome!! i wish i had that kind of committment lol



  78. 78

    He probably got the wrong order 1000 times.



  79. 79

    lol wtf
    oh well



  80. 80

    haha, i love this guy. he was in "supersize me"



  81. 81

    OLD OLD OLD! This is old fucking news. I saw this on the news weeks ago! Perez, do you ever take time out of your day to watch the news?



  82. 82

    that guy was in morgan spurlocks movie supersize me years ago… he looked like a beatles groupie



  83. 83

    like i love big macs and all, wow they are good, seems like this is more of an attention thing than obsessive compulsive… does anyone agree? like im not nieve i do understand fully the nature of the disease as my life is touched with a very close friend suffering the disorder but really.. a big mac…like a century earlier bigmacs wouldnt have even exisited so what would it hav been then? toffee apples??

    anyways..
    kisses from the candyqueen



  84. 84

    Do you have pictures of this guy???



  85. 85

    why does a 1982 Storm effect the mcdonalds in the year 2000 on thanksgiving



  86. 86

    I saw something about him on TV once. . . I think that's funny. If I ate one every day, I would weigh 4,000 lbs.!



  87. 87

    That's right, I saw him in Supersize Me, not on TV.



  88. 88

    isn't that the guy from SuperSize Me?



  89. 89

    I'm amazed that a person could eat at McDonald's every single day and not be overweight. I guess it's because he exercises too though. It's probably the only way to mange your weight while continually dining out on fast food.



  90. 90

    I am a fat bastard and I dream of a BIG MAC with a couple of meat patties
    like on a WENDYS double but with that special sauce. A BIG MAC with
    some meat would be awesome. God, they're missing the boat.



  91. 91

    is this the same guy who was on super size me

  92. MLD says – reply to this


    92
