Man says he's eaten 23,000 Big Macs since 1972

The Associated Press

A 54-year-old man from Fond du Lac, Wis., says his obsessive-compulsive disorder drove him to eat 23-thousand Big Macs in 36 years.

Don Gorske says he hit the milestone last month, continuing a pleasurable obsession that began on May 17, 1972, when he got his first car.

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.
