Spooge's Spit Up - 23,000 Big Mac's

Man's 23,000 Big Macs

A US man who loves Big Macs has eaten 23,000 in 36 years and has kept every receipt to prove it.

Don Gorske said he hit the 23,000 milestone last month, continuing a culinary obsession that began in May, 1972, reports Metro.

"I enjoy them every day," said Mr Gorske, 54, from Wisconsin. "I need two to fill me up."

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.

"Sometimes people call me a freak but it doesn't bother me. I just say respect people as they are. 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.

Including the day his mother died, to respect a request she made and during a 1982 snowstorm that prevented a 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.

Despite his diety, Mr Gorske says he keeps himself in good shape. He says he's 6ft 2ins tall, weighs 13 stone, and walks as many as 10 miles a day.
