Wisconsin man celebrates 50 years of eating Big Macs every day (almost every day)

MILWAUKEE (Spectrum News Milwaukee) - Don Gorske’s Big Mac streak started on May 17, 1972.

“I’ve only missed eight days in 50 years, which is phenomenal. And like I say, I count every Big Mac. I’ve counted every Big Mac I’ve eaten my whole life,” Gorske said.

Gorske eats two Big Macs a day.

“All through life here, a lot of people said, ‘You’ll be dead before you reach 50 years of eating Big Macs.’ I guess I proved them wrong,” he said.

If he likes them and his body clearly can handle them, why not. Doesn’t appeal to me but I can’t fault him for doing his thing. Doesn’t hurt anyone.

in Morgan Spurlock's Supersize Me. Just looked it up and that was released 18 years ago, which is hard to believe.

I wonder if he's ever tried subbing tartar sauce for special sauce like I do when I get a Big Mac?

I remember in the film him telling a story about being offered money by someone to just try a whopper. He framed it like a Catholic that had been asked to spontaneously become a Jew. The man is a devotee, to say the least.
